I’ll walk and talk with your dog

Pet care experience

I love animals. In particular I love dogs and not just my dog but all dogs. I love puppy breath, young dogs that make games out of anything, and slow easy walks with seniors. I’m great at multitasking. When walking I’ll look out for cars, undesirable sniffing areas, potty breaks. Will take time for good sniffs, potty pick up, and constantly offer words of praise. Also always prepared with water, poop bags, treats, and what is needed by owner. I have looked after sick pets while owners were away. I recently retired so I know how hard it can be working, raising a family and having a great dog. I will happily bridge the gap between a crazy schedule and a happy and tired dog. I am retired so I get to spend a lot of time with our pup Casey and any furry friends that stay with my family. Our dog Casey loves to play so playtime is a priority at our house. We plan the majority of outings to include Casey and furry friends. We frequent establishments that are pet friendly. First and foremost is safety. As a family we communicate the individual needs of dogs staying with us. This includes owner requests, leash needs, potty schedules, aggression triggers and food allergies.

Ruth was wonderful, this was my first time using rover and having someone other than family watch Bentley. She sent updates which included pictures, leaving me feeling at ease. Bentley had a blast with all his new friends. Thank you Ruth!
