Dogs Rule

Pet care experience

I am retired therefore home full time. My house is dog friendly with tile floors in every room so no problem with clean up in case of an accident. There is no room where pets are not allowed and no bed they cannot sleep on. There is a small back yard where I keep the gates padlocked so there is no chance of pets accidentally getting out. For convenience there is a doggy door to the yard. I have three small dogs, two Pekingese and a senior Schnauzer. There are two vets close that I use and a 24-hour emergency clinic. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs for the past 45 years. Started with a cocker, then siberian huskies, now I have two (10 and 13 years old) pekingese and one rescue schnauzer, age unknown but think about 14. All are spayed and neutered and pretty laid back. Meet my pets I am retired therefore home full time.

About my yard My backyard is fenced and I keep locks so there can be no chance of someone accidentally leaving gate open. It's a small yard but mostly grass and there are no off limits.

Ruth was great and understanding on our short notice. She was very good with lilly and took good care of her. I would definitely recommend Ruth to anyone.

Ruth was awesome! We just moved to the area and I had to go out of town for a work trip. Ruth watched Dale all week and he had a great time. He’s napping on the couch right now! I highly recommend Ruth!

Ruth was great! We received pictures with updates, which made us feel comfortable and confident that she was taking great care of our dog! We will use Ruth again! :)

We really hate we have to give a bad review but our puppy came back to us with 2 infections in her eyes and we wasn’t told until we picked her up we had to take her to the emergency pet doctor Necie her left eye was completely shut and it cost us about 200 dollars the day after Christmas but we didn’t want to take the risk of her getting worst she’s so young . I’m not sure how she got the infection Ruth does have 3 other dogs I’m not sure if she got hit in the eye by another dog or if she may have used the spray bottle she used to calm her other dogs down on Khloe I’m not sure but she was fine the day we dropped her off and we were upset that we wasn't told she was sick . From now on we will only use sitters who have no dogs . Because this cause us 200 additional fees . Ruth isn’t a bad person just thinks she had too many dogs and she’s older and with out 2 dogs may be too much for her to handle . Plus she smokes so that could be another way my dog got infection in the eye .
