Happy Walks & Loving Pet Care 🐾

I love spending time with both dogs and cats and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, giving them plenty of exercise, and taking them to the park when appropriate. I also offer drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, potty breaks, companionship, and lots of attention. I’m a cat lover too and enjoy caring for cats while keeping their routines as normal and comfortable as possible. If your pet is farther from my home or needs more company, I’m also available for house sitting and can stay in your home with them. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away. 🐾

Drop-In Visits • Sep 18, 2026

We couldn’t be happier with Ruth! My husband and I went away on a long vacation, and knowing that Duchess and Gordo were in her hands gave us so much peace of mind. From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and reassured. She was always punctual, and after every visit she sent us the sweetest pictures and detailed updates about how our babies were doing. It honestly made our day to see them happy and relaxed while we were so far away. She spent time playing with them, giving them attention, and keeping them company, and we could tell that she genuinely cared about them. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for cats meant so much to us. We’re incredibly grateful to Ruth for taking such wonderful care of Duchess and Gordo, and we would absolutely trust her with them again. We highly, highly recommend her! ❤️

Ruth has been a dear friend of me and my wife Itati for over a year now and has shared experiences with our dogs, am cats and customers as well and she has got along with all the circumstances such as different dog breeds and sizes, difficult dogs behaviors and customer communication. We could certify that she is a right fit for any customer who is looking for an attentive, responsive and thoughtful pet caregiver.
