Very experienced 20 plus years dog owner and dog lover! We bread our KCC and now have 2 beautiful small gentle dogs. Your pet is welcome in our home. Or I can visit them in yours. I have two children age 9 and 13 who have had dogs all their lives. Love all dogs and are very good at caring and playing with them!

She was absolutely amazing and our dog June loved her and she was so flexible with our hectic schedules. Would recommend her services to everyone.

Ruth was great with our dogs! We had a change of schedule, so Ruth was very flexible and worked it out with us.

Ruth is wonderful with dogs, especially having owned several herself. Her current two King Charles Cavalier Spaniels are beautiful animals, raised and cared for very well. She has also minded many other pets with the same care, affection, and attention. Be assured that your pet is in very safe hands with Ruth.

Ruth has been a great help with our elderly dog when we are away. She spends time with her and is very attentive. She also consistently checks in with us to let us know how she's doing which is much appreciated. I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone!
