Safety, trust & environment

I am patient and kind with animals and truly enjoy them. I walk my dogs regularly and make them fresh dog food. My older dog took 4 pills every morning before we had to send her over the rainbow bridge.

Information Ruth J. would like to know about your pet

Please alert me to any special needs your dog may have or behaviors I may find alarming. I’d also love to know your pup’s favorite activities and how long the walk should be.

A typical day

There’s a beautiful creek by my house that the dogs love. I also like taking them on hikes on Katy trail. I’m a big tug of war fan and of course snuggling is my favorite.

Pet care experience

My husband and I have had 2 dogs for ten years and recently adopted a senior dog. We trained the younger dogs ourselves and they are the best part of our day.

Ruth was an incredible cat and house sitter! She went above and beyond with communication, and we felt the whole time we were gone our cats and house were being well taken care of. I appreciate all that she did to clean up and get things ready for us to come home. We will for sure be using Ruth again in the future!

Really great at keeping us informed and sending pictures of our girl every day. We could tell that Nala (our dog) was doing great from the pictures sent. The house was extremely clean when we got home. Ruth cleaned our tub and shower and even our floors. She went above what we expected of her for watching our dog.

Ruth is the best! Our dog is reactive to strangers and it took us a while to find someone who was willing to earn her trust. But now Ruth is one of our dog’s favorite people!! Really we are so grateful to find someone like Ruth who cares so much about the quality of service she provides.

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.
