KINDLY READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW before sending me a boarding request. If you send me a boarding request; I will assume that you have read and understood the info below. Thank you in advance! Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to let me be a part of your pet’s life. I’m very much looking forward to cuddling, feeding, and loving your furry family member while you are away. I grew up in a farm with dogs and cats. I know how important your pup/cat are. I have a wonderful golden/lab retriever of my own called Niko; and a beautiful cat called Grace. It is for this reason I am committed to giving you peace of mind as you travel, knowing your pup/cat are in trusted hands. I promise your pet will find a second home in ours. I will care for your pup/cat as one of my own and send you detailed Rover cards with photos every day. I speak Spanish and English. I’m very responsible and committed to what I do. This is why I like to know as much as I can about your pet to better serve you. We have great hygiene. We live in a safe, clean and organized environment where your pet will feel happy and safe. My backyard is always clean and secure. DOG HOSTING Restrictions: due to house insurance policy restrictions I cannot accept certain breeds to board in my house. However, I do accept them for drop in visits in your house. Purebred Husky, Rottweiler, Cane Corso, Dóberman, Belgian Shepherd and any other dominant big breeds. Thank you for your understanding.

Ruth is so wonderful! My doggie is very shy and he takes a lot of time to get well with the people he never met before. However he magically goes to Ruth the first time he saw her, she is so sweet that my dog fell in love with her immediately. During the staying, she keeps us updated. Our flight got delayed and was in a rush while we picking boby up, but she was so understanding and arranged the pick up for us. We are so glad that we had Ruth to take care of our doggie!

We had a wonderful experience with Ruth! She was incredibly responsive throughout Snow's stay and kept us updated with frequent photos and messages. It was so reassuring to see how much fun Snow was having while we were away. The pictures clearly showed Snow happy, relaxed, and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind. We could tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely trust her with Snow again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch your dogs, I would definitely recommend Ruth. She was very flexible, kept us updated with pictures every day, and genuinely cared about making sure our dogs were comfortable. We brought our own food, but when one of our dogs wasn’t eating much, she even offered her own dog food to help. Our dogs loved having a big yard to run around in, and we could tell they were well taken care of the entire time we were away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a sweet dog to keep your fur baby company. We love to go on walks and play with the pups to keep them happy and relaxed while staying with us. DROP-OFF/PICK UP after 8:00am Kindly, pick only one hour rage or less for your drop off and pick up. Please be on time for your drop off/pick up. If you can’t make it on time let me know in advance so we can agree in a better time that will work for both parties. I set up appointments separately with each pet parent (pick ups, drop offs, greet and meet, drop in visits) daily to avoid every one to be at my house at the same time. Please make sure to message me when you’re ready to come for drop off/pick up of your pet. Please, bring the food/treats for your pet. I feed exclusively what pets parents bring for their pets to avoid any upset stomach. I separate the pets with gates around the house leaving enough space for them to move around for sleeping and eating time and if I have to step out for an appointment. Pets are never together unattended to avoid any accidents. I have cameras around the house so I have access to video all the time to check on them. Your pet must be fine staying alone for a short period of time just in case if I have to go out for drop in visits, run errands or medical/dental appt., etc. Of course they will never be left alone for long period of time. DROP-IN VISITS: I will respect your home and privacy. I will follow your instructions and will limit myself to the areas you have designated for feeding, playing, etc. If first time using Rover you can get a $20 off when you book with me using my personal code RUTHB15803

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood or parks, have petting and affection sessions, and enjoyable playing time with different type of dog toys or socializing with my sweet dog.

0 to 15 lbs
Ruth can host up to 4 pets per night
Is your dog friendly with dogs and humans? Is your dog house trained/leash trained? Can I take your dog on walks? Does your dog gets upset stomach easily or is he/she allergic to anything? Please disclose any health issues and medication before booking with me. NOTE: Pets MUST be up to date on all required yearly vaccinations. Proof of records will be required before booking. Fleas and Ticks prevention is a must. NO DOGS WITH FLEAS OR TICKS. Our house and dog/cat are flea and tick free. Please help us to keep it that way by making sure yours are as well. Kindly understand that I don’t accept dogs with aggressive or destructive behavior.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
