Pet care experience

Tail-Wagging Happiness Starts Here!

I’ve been caring for animals for years and love every minute of it! I’ve raised a German Shepherd puppy and have experience with countless dog breeds, cats, kittens, bunnies, chickens, turtles, and even baby goats. I’ve also house-sat for multiple families and understand the importance of keeping pets happy, healthy, and safe in their own environment. Whether it’s a quick walk or extended care, I treat every pet like family.

House Sitting • Apr 15, 2026

This was my first time having a sitter stay in my house and take care of our two dogs. I was very, very nervous but Ruth is wonderful and so sweet. She was very respectful of our home and made sure to let our dogs out throughout day even though she was at school/working (she is quite the hard worker!). She was understanding of all their little quirks lol She was a great communicator and guest in our home. I would definitely book with her.

I came home to happy and well adjusted babies! Ruth is very sweet and did well with keeping our 4 dogs and 1 cat.

This was the third time Ruth has come to care for our dog and, as always, she did an amazing job. Always punctual and dependable, with pictures from each visit, we appreciate Ruth's help.

Ruth was amazing with our boys!! They absolutely loved her and I know they got the best care over the weekend. One of our dogs has happy tail and she was great with giving medicine/caring for his tail. Will definitely use her in the future :)

Schedule

As a college student without a 9–5 job, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s midday check-ins, evening snuggles, or weekend stays, I can work around your needs. I’m currently raising money for next semester’s tuition, so every booking not only helps your pet stay happy and safe—it also helps support my education!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Ruth can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before watching your pet, I’d love to know about their daily routine, any medical needs or medications, favorite toys or activities, and how they typically behave around new people or animals. It’s also helpful to know if they have any quirks—like anxiety, food sensitivities, or leash reactivity—so I can provide the best care possible. The more you share, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away!
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.
