Happy Pet, Happy Life! 🐾

Hi! ☻ My name is Ruth and I absolutely adore animals! Over the years, friends and families have entrusted their precious pets in my care because they trusted my abilities and knew that I would treat their pets as my own. I’ve grown a love for pets and now feel I can easily grow a bond with almost any animal. I have experience caring for a variety of animals including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, and fish and I enjoy every single minute of it. I have worked with all age groups (puppies/kittens, adults, and seniors.) No matter the breed, temperament, or disability your furbaby has, I will strive to leave them feeling loved and satisfied! ♡ ❀ ❀ ❀

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always willing to learn what special needs your pet may require! If you have a routine, please let me know so I can adjust my time to your comfort needs! Dinner times, medication times, bedtimes, let me know if there is a typical time you want them up and around. I am patient and always do my best to make sure any rules given are followed.

Ruth was so communicative and patient with my cats. Her commitment to caring for them put me at ease the entire time I was away. Thanks Ruth!

Ruth was great with Brady, who can be very stubborn and set in his ways! She took amazing care of him and of our house while we were away. She was also totally flexible when we needed to come home from our trip a day early. We'd love to have Ruth stay with Brady again in the future.

Ruth was amazing! She stayed at our house for 5 days and took such great care of our Charlie boy. She even came during her lunch breaks to take him out. She was honestly the best ! And she sent me pictures everyday which helped me be less anxious. Highly recommend and will be a repeat client 🩷

Ruth is amazing! I was nervous about leaving my cats for a week, but her kindness, conscientiousness, and love for animals put my mind at ease. She took such great care of them, did her best to connect with them even when they were being shy, and communicated every day to let me know they were happy and safe.

I have no breed preferences. I would just like to be aware of a dog's reactivity to other dogs, people, food, or certain triggers. I want to make your pet the most comfortable so I would like to know what boundaries you respect with them.
