Pet care experience

I’m a pet lover and ready to care

I have grown up with various animals, from birds to cats and dogs, even reptiles and have experience in raising and training all types of pets. I have assisted in pet births, and have even helped revive a puppy that stopped breathing during birth. I love animals and have a dog and two cats at home. I’m happy and ready to take care of your pets and help get out their energy

I and fully free on weekends and can do overnight sitting to dog walking and basic drop ins. I am also available after 4 most days to take your fur babies in a walk or to check in on them and feed or let them out.

Ruth can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if your pet needs any medications or has any health issues I should be aware of, and how friendly your animals are with other animals so I know if I should avoid busy trails or areas if I walk your dog.
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.
