Adventures with Louise and Mabel!

Pet care experience

Louise, Mabel and I love adventures. We'd love to include your pup! Louise and Mabel are my two pups. Louise (7) is full of energy, and is forever happy and hungry. She has lots of doggy friends and has always been an enthusiastic and welcoming host. Mabel (4) is a complete sweetheart and the softest dog you will ever meet. She is a bit more reserved at first, but warms up quickly and loves to play. I am confident that both of my gals will be great hosts to your dog. As for my experience, aside from having two dogs of my own, I have spent most of my life around dogs and provided care for neighbours, friends, and families’ pets whenever asked for 25+ years. I've volunteered at cat shelters, fostered cats for the SPCA, and fostered dogs for a former rescue in Surrey. I was very active on Rover from 2017 to 2019 in the Surrey area, and have several reviews reflecting my skills. I took a break when we moved to the Kootenays because my job at the time didn't leave time for dogsitting, but we're back in action now.

She is very sweet, she took the time to give me news of my dog everyday. She must be very patient because my dog cry a lot when im not there. If i ever need someone to babysit my dog close to balfour, i would 100% ask Ruth again. Thank you ?

Ruth took great care of my pup Bean while we were away and I really appreciated her updates and photos. Her dogs Mabel and Louise were great playmates once they warmed up to Bean’s rambunctious energy. Thanks Ruth!

I'm so happy with Ruth and clearly my puppy was too! We did 2 days back to back, the 2nd day my puppy was so excited to see her.
