Pet care experience

Home during the day most days.

I am loyal, enjoy being with dogs, have worked as a pet sitter for relatives and friends. I am willing to feed and play with your dog and will do whatever else you need to have done for them. Willing to work with special needs dogs; I worked with special needs kids so I can work with your special need dog if you explain what they need and when they need it. I need to know where your dog goes for walks and where they're food and, if they need to be brushed, where their brush are so I can do my job as well as possible. I will also need to know what vet you use in case of emergency and how to contact you about it. I also owned two cats and the first one lived 13 years and the second one lived 19 years, but I only had him for 14 of those years. I know how to care for them and love them as much as dogs. I charge extra for additional animals. It varies by animal.

I have one dog and, since she is a Chihuahua, she doesn't get along with other dogs. I live with my mom so she will stay with her.

Ruth helped me out at the last minute when my pet sitter needed to leave my dog longer than he can tolerate.

Ruth is always fantastic. We have used her many times and will continue to have her take care of our boy!

Ruth is reliable and honest. Communication is an area for potential improvement. Overall, I'm grateful for her time and the care she provided to our babies.

This was our first time letting someone stay in our home and care for our animals. We usually boarded our dog. Ruth kept me updated every day with photos and responded to all my text. My house was just as I had left it. We have found our go to girl to care for animals.

Our dog seemed happy and well when we returned from a 5 day trip. We will use Ruth again and would recommend her to others.

I work part-time so I will need to be able to go to work. It's usually on Saturday and Sunday, but I also work on Wednesday throughout the year. I don't do boarding.

Does your dog have any special needs or health issues I need to know about? Same thing for a cat. And you will need to show me how to administer injections to your pet before I start.
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.
