Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because both my husband and I work from home in the tech industry. Having flexible schedules allows us to provide consistent care, regular check ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I understand how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, so I’m happy to follow your cat’s feeding schedule, playtime preferences, medication needs, and any special instructions. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I strive to create a calm, safe, and stress free environment where your cat can feel at home. I have two dedicated guest bedrooms available for boarding, giving cats a quiet, private space to settle in if they need time to adjust. All windows and doors remain securely closed and I always take extra precautions to ensure a safe indoor environment. I’ll provide regular photo updates so you always know how your furry family member is doing.

Ruth has been unbelievably incredible with the amount of love and work she put into taking care of my cat. She gave her ample attention and was always so thorough with regular updates and photos. No matter what she was accommodating and I genuinely could not have asked for a better person to take the daunting task of taking care of somebody else’s family member. She took care of my Purple as if she was their own and my heart radiates with warmth at how she treated her. At the price she offers, she deserves 10x the amount for the effort she puts in. Thank you Ruth, me and my family appreciate you so much.

Ruth did a fantastic job watching our little cat. She kept us updated throughout our trip away with pictures, videos, and details about how he was doing throughout the day. Every picture and video he looked super relaxed and approx the pets he was receiving. I will most definitely book with Ruth again to watch our cat in our next trips out of town.

Ruth is one of the most dedicated cat caregivers I’ve ever met. She has cared for as many as seven cats at the same time across four different homes for friends and neighbors, always giving each cat the attention and love they deserve. She is experienced with trimming nails, brushing teeth, bathing cats, administering medication, and recognizing early signs when a cat isn’t feeling well. Ruth genuinely loves cats and has also volunteered in cat rescue and foster care, helping many cats find safe and loving homes. She treats every cat as if it were her own, with incredible patience, compassion, and attention to detail. I would trust her with my own cats without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsible, and compassionate cat sitter.
