I work from home on Mondays and Fridays and have a relaxed and flexible schedule that allows me to work around any needs your pet may have. Pets often enjoy napping under my desk. I am very close to parks for them and close by your home or work!

Petunia was in great hands with Ruth! She came home happy and relaxed after 5 days. I would definitely be having Ruth take care of Petunia in the future.

My interaction with Ruth from start to picking up was positive. We maintained good communication and she provided me updates during boarding. I would re-book with her again!
