Pet care experience

Animal lover and friend!

I picked my first dog when I was 3 years old. Since then I’ve taken care of crazy pugs and elderly dogs, I recognize body language and respond appropriately. I will keep your dog away from other dogs if that’s what they need, and will give them all the attention they want. We play with dogs and tire them out so they can sleep peacefully! 2 years ago, We found our first cat and started training her! Since then, we have created the ultimate cat paradise for her and love playing all babies. If you are scared of boarding your cat, you can trust that your cat will never be bored and our cat is welcoming to all!

She was amazing! Took great care of my special needs girl when we needed care last minute! Even took extra time out of her day to check on her! And sent lots of pictures and updates which made my momma heart very happy!

Ruth is great! She handled my family’s two spoiled Boston Terriers wonderfully and easily adjusted to their settings and were very interactive with them. She was on time and always sent photos of their walks. Highly recommended!

Ruth Anne is one of the most gentle, kind-hearted, and trustworthy people I know. She has such a calm and nurturing spirit, and animals naturally feel safe around her. She is incredibly knowledgeable about pet care and health and has grown up around dogs, so she truly understands the level of responsibility, patience, and love it takes to properly care for animals. She goes above and beyond in every aspect of pet care by staying on top of cleaning, feeding, enrichment, playtime, and of course giving pets endless love and attention. Bringing joy, comfort, and safety to animals is genuinely what makes her happiest. She is extremely attentive to animal behavior and body language and will do everything she can to make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while in her care. Ruth Anne absolutely adores her own cat, and it shows in the life she has created for her. From adorable outfits to multiple cat trees, shelves, a cat wheel, and endless toys, she invests so much into making sure her kitty lives a happy, enriched, and fulfilling life. My pets are my world, and I do not trust easily when it comes to their care. But I would never hesitate to leave them with Ruth Anne. Any pet would be lucky to be loved and cared for by someone with such a beautiful heart.

10/10 sitter! Her cat is so cute and sweet too. If you have a cat, Ruth’s home is the perfect place for them to stay while you’re gone. I wish Ruth would do a kitty daycare or something, I love her home so much. BEST SITTER EVER!!!
