Doggy Day Care • Jul 19, 2026

Ruth is such a lovely person! She has such a warmth and kindness to her and a very beautiful, welcoming home. She took such wonderful care of our two pups and we will continue to use her in the future! After our initial meet and greet we decided to do a doggy day care then depending on how it went book an overnight stay. However, I was so impressed with her during the meet and greet we booked the doggy day care and overnight stay without hesitation. Excellent experience! Highly recommend her!

5 Paws! Ruth was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two dogs, Bear (my 8-year-old Morkie) and Ginger (my 14-year-old Cockapoo). They both have special needs, and Ruth was incredibly attentive, patient, and caring with each of them. She took them on long walks, kept me updated with photos, and every single picture showed two happy, smiling pups who were clearly enjoying themselves and felt completely at ease. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Ruth and her family are beyond accommodating and kind. Our pups have gone to many many rover sitters and have truly never felt so at home. Ruth was incredibly attentive and offered to go out of her way several times to make our pups comfortable. They went on tons of walks and had the best time in her beautiful yard. Usually our dogs are very anxious when we pick them up but when we picked them up after a little over a week at Ruth’s house they acted like we had hardly been gone. I have never felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with someone. They will definitely be back! Thank you so much to Ruth and her family!

This was our first time using Rover, so we were nervous. But it was a great experience! Daisy spent four nights at Ruth’s house and, as the only dog, got lots of TLC! Thank you, Ruth, for keeping us posted and for the great pics - and for loving Daisy while we were away! She’ll be back, for sure!

This was a great experience!! This was the first time our dog stayed with someone we didn't know and Ruth made the process so easy. We felt so relaxed knowing our dog was not only well taken care of but loved! Ruth sent constant updates and photos to keep us informed. We would definitely return and highly recommend Ruth!!

It's really important to me to know if your pet tends to be aggressive around other people or dogs/animals. Also, does your pet enjoy doing any particular activities? Or special snacks? I'd love to know anything that will make the experience for your pet as low stress and enjoyable as possible for them.
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.
