Highlights
Pet care experience
Educator and animal lover
I grew up around all kinds of animals: cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs- you name it! My own sweet senior cat recently passed away, and while I’m not yet ready to adopt again, I would love to give care and affection to the animals in my community!
Cat care experience
Ruth also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I live downtown near lots of lovely places for dogs to explore! I have lived in Santa Barbara for 13 years, so know all the great areas for dog walks, locations of pet food stores, pet hospitals and vets in case your animal needs anything while you're gone.
Ratings and reviews
Ruth stayed with our cat for 3 weeks while we were away this summer. She sent thoughtful updates everyday and took great care of our home. Our cat clearly bonded with her! We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our cat was in such good hands.
Great communication and was able to be flexible with our needs. Plan to use again.
Ruth was reliable and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our cat and home. We appreciated her daily updates.
Ruth does such a great job with Lola. She shows obvious care, gives Lola plenty of affection, and regularly keeps me updated about what a good time they are having. 100% recommended.
Ruth is great. Extremely communicative. Lily had a great experience as did her dog mom.
Ruth takes such great care of Lola. She almost didn't want to come home. Lots of communication, lots of pictures, and wonderful flexibility. I recommend her highly and will board with her again.

Schedule
I work in an office M-F, 8am-5pm, so am free to mornings and evening to care for your pet. I love getting outside and taking long walks with dogs.
