Pet care experience

I have grown up with a family dog all my life and now have my own! I have loved and trained him since he was a puppy and consistently receive compliments on how he is such a good boy and how well-behaved he is! I have always enjoyed taking care of doggos for family and friends and am very excited to help take care of yours! I am very good with dogs of all ages including young puppies in their teething and potty training phase to senior dogs who want cuddles and sniffs. I am available for house sitting and will spoil your pet with attention, play time, and walks while you are off enjoying your vacation or trip. I am also available for drop-ins and walks! You can count on me to keep your pets safe and happy :-)

Ruth came to my house for a week for my little skippy man. She was wonderful,sincere and considerate with my dog. She communicated with me everyday and took great pictures. He was very happy when I came home. I would use her again and will in the future.

Ruth took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She kept us up to date with texts and messages which I really appreciate! She even taught our younger dog a new trick! Will definitely book again and highly recommend!

Ruth did such a wonderful job caring for my dog Penny and my cat Piper. It is very clear that she has a lot of experience and ease around animals. Most importantly, she really cared about the safety and happiness of my pets. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her capable hands and would definitely utilize her again.

I would highly recommend Ruth as a pet caregiver. She has consistently provided care and attention to my 65lb pitbull, treating him with genuine kindness, patience and responsibility. Odin requires someone very attentive due to his reactivity, and has a few quirks that Ruth has no issues handling and accommodating. She always follows all care instructions carefully, maintains routines without any issues, and genuinely enjoys spending time with Odin. I always appreciate her clear communication and regular updates which give me peace of mind. Ruth is the most trustworthy, dependable and caring dog sitter/walker we've ever had. I cannot recommend Ruth enough if you are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with your dog and caring for them as if they were her own.
