Information Ruth H. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog get along with kids, in case our grandkids come by, or with other dogs? We only keep 1 at a time but need to know what to do if we encounter other dogs on a walk.

A typical day

We live in a great neighborhood for dog walks - plenty of sidewalks, trees and shade. Also, please bring your dogs’ favorite toys to play with.

Work-at-Home Grandma who loves pets

Pet care experience

My husband, Jeff, and I have had pets off and on all of our lives. We had an 11 year old female black lab, Allie, who recently passed away. She got along well with other dogs and she loved short walks around the neighborhood. She is truly missed. We’ve been dog sitting through Rover for about 5 years now and have really enjoy it. We’ve made many new furry friends and are excited when we get returning guests. I work from home so I am here most of the day and I have a very flexible schedule. We have a small fenced yard and nice sidewalked streets to walk on. We would love to meet you and your pet to see if you feel comfortable with us taking care of your pet for you while you need to be away from him. Just moved to South Carolina, followed grandkids, but we had many happy pups in Texas and Georgia before that.

Ruth was able to accommodate us last minute and kept me posted on how Gracie was doing. Would definitely use her services again if needed!

Ruth and her husband Jeff were warm, kind, and so very nice. They took the absolute best care of our babies and made us feel so much better about being away from them. Thank you, Ruth & Jeff!

Ruth and her husband were amazing! I’m so glad I found them for my dog Layla. She was so happy when she was picked up. I would definitely recommend them! Thank you, Ruth!
