Flexible, Safe, Loving Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Ruthie. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I started my experience with animal care with my many childhood pets, including a cat, dog, budgies, fish, and a tortoise. I started pet-sitting at age 12, where I would care for my neighbors' pets when they went on vacation. I would feed, walk/ relieve, and always give cuddles to the pet(s) when possible. I have lots of recent experience taking care of dogs and cats long-term, both in my home and house-sitting. I am a recent college graduate living in Marblehead. I am available pretty much anytime for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I have a car and am willing to travel a reasonable distance as well as transport pets in my vehicle if that is necessary.

Excellent dog sitter, she was communicative, pleasant to work with, and took excellent care of my Dachshund. Would recommend to anybody.

Ruthie was great. Easy to communicate with, was respectful of our pets and things, and had to deal with a surprise hormonal issue with our pup. Would book again!

Ruth was super supportive and took great care of my little Wiggles. I will use her again.

Ruth took great care of my pup! She was highly responsive and let me know how my doggo was doing during a long stay. I missed my pup so very much but I knew she was in good care with Ruth!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I treat it like it’s my own. I always leave a space clean and exactly as I found it. In terms of how a day is structured, I wake up pretty early and can take dogs out right away. After taking care of the basics, I take them out for a walks and play outside. At night, I’ll curl up with them (if that’s their style!) and take care of final needs before bedtime.

Information Ruth E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and relevant dietary information. I would love to know a little about their behavior and preferences as well.

A typical day

During a day of pet care, I provide activities, cuddles, and full attention to your animals. I love to tire dogs out with long walks and playing, then veg out with them in the evening!

I’m currently working part-time, meaning I have a lot of time and attention for any pets in my care. My schedule is flexible so I’m able to structure my days around walks or house visits.
