Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Ruth, I've been an animal lover all my life and I work with a variety of species, including dogs, horses, and cows. I have had a dog for the last seven years and currently have 1 Rhodesian Ridgeback. I've done extensive clicker and positive-reinforcement training with her. I'm also an educator (fine arts) so I have lots of patience. I recently completed my MFA in art and during my studies have completed animal cognition courses so I am very good at reading body language in animals (particularly dogs!). I'm very good at timing training sessions (when they happen, frequency, when the dog is ready to be finished) and always reward for good behavior. This reward can be a walk, treat, playtime, etc.
Reviews
Ruth was a wonderful sitter. It was his first overnight and she took excellent care of my dog. Bubba enjoyed playing with her very well trained dog. I will use her again and would recommend her for your dog.

Information Ruth B. would like to know about your pet
Type of training they've received/commands, vet info, any relevant medical info, how often they go out to potty, whether they're good with other dogs and new people.
A typical day
I love, love, love being outside. Lots of walks. If the dog can run, I'll take them on a run. Walking on dirt/grass is always preferable to pounding pavement, but it's up to the owner.
