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. I had to put my dog down in July.

Ruth, Ignored 9 out of 10 messages I sent her even though on pet camera I could see her on her phone. I was always trying to get an update on our pets. Ruth sat on our furniture and never attempted to stop our cat from ruining our new double recliners.

Ruth was a perfect pet sitter for our very anxious dog, Rowdy. I was hesitant to book a vacation because I wasn’t sure how he’d do with someone new, but after our meet and greet, my fears went away. Ruth was exactly the calm, quiet person he needed to feel comfortable while we were away. She also handled our 2-year old Frenchie just fine. I’d book her again without hesitation. Would recommend!

Ruth helped us out yet again when I needed someone to feed and let out our dog when we went out of town last minute. I appreciate her so much, thanks Ruth!!

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.
