Safety, trust & environment

I can't do boarding at my place due to living in an apartment, but I can do any kind of care needed at your place! I can play and keep them near like I do with my dogs, I can feed, give medicine, clean up after them, crate them, whatever's necessary! Just tell me how you want it done!

Information Ruth H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if a pet has any special needs, medicines, etc. I'm happy to accommodate any pet, just let me know what they need!

A typical day

My dogs' favorite activities are to play ball, catch frisbees and to hangout together all day, but I'm happy to do anything that your pets enjoy!!

BACK FOR THE SUMMER ☀️☀️

Pet care experience

My family has owned dogs since long before I came along. And thus, I've taken care of everything from chihuahuas to goldens and working line german shepherds. I started caring for them myself when I was about five and haven't stopped since. I've raised multiple litters of puppies, assisted in dog training, given both injections and oral medicine daily, and am capable of caring for anything from new born puppies to elderly dogs.

Ruth is amazing! She takes great care of our boys and sends pictures and updates regularly. We have dogs that have resource guarding and particular rules to keep everybody happy and she has shown to be trustworthy in doing them. We'll keep hiring her for our trips as long as she's available.
