Information Ruth I. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. I prefer easy-going dogs that are dependably house-broken and are on some type of preventive flea medication.

A typical day

I will typically take a dog for a daily 30 minute walk in my neighborhood, and throw balls for a game of fetch in my fairly large, fenced back yard.

I have been “Mama” to multiple dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve had multiple family pets in the past, and I now thoroughly enjoy caring for dogs through Rover. I enjoy giving dogs “royal treatment” so they will enjoy their stay with me like a fun vacation! I enjoy taking dogs for walks in my neighborhood. I am especially fond of older dogs. A black lab was part of our family for 12 years. I will lovingly care for your dog just as I would my own. I have a large fenced back yard for your dog to play in. Our home is conveniently located close to the CVG airport, but in a quiet neighborhood ideal for taking dogs on walks.

Ruth changed my dog's laziness into an active boy! She left us Christmas pics and lots of pics & videos letting us know he was doing. I tried to keep up, but we were so busy! I want to thank her most for not shying away from a dog who has meds. She was wonderful! Thanks i will definitely go back to her again!

Ruth did a great job with Oliver. She took him for walks and played with him. She also sent pictures everyday. I would definitely let her watch Ollie again.

Ruth and her family did a great job taking care of Rosie during our vacation! She loved the backyard and all of the attention. We will definitely be having Rosie stay with them again in the near future!
