Pet care experience

I do love animals and when your animal(s) have me to care for them. I definitely give love, care and spoil them as my own. I live on a mountain overlooking Chesters Gap and part of Blue Ridge mountains. Very beautiful and peaceful. Very high altitude and main roads are paved. There are some inclines and steep driveways. Keep in mind that this is in a home. Not a kennel. Important to set up meet and greet to make sure furbabies are a good fit. I have a fenced yard, treadmill or I walk when when pavement not too hot for paws. Safe and smoke-free home. I give animals lots of attention, playtime, break time and rest when needed. I am caring, reliable, honest, responsible and dependable. You will be happy and your pet will be happy. I am good with all ages and different kinds of breeds. I do have cats that like dogs and usually climb up their shelves or go to different level of home. I have a Border Collie/ Australian Shepherd, Havanese and a Yorkshire territor. Any questions or concerns please let me know. I am currently working from home and have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I do try to stick to your furbabies schedule. I have a fenced yard. Also, I have 3 friendly dogs that have been around many different types of dogs for several years. I do not leave any furbabies alone with eachother if I need to go on an errand.

Ruth was AMAZING! Our senior dog loved her long weekend with Ruth and we appreciated how promptly she communicated with us. She's so kind and loving to her guest dogs!

Ruth was awesome. She cared for Tucker like her own family member. He was rested and calm when I picked him up. He had lots of walks and was able to play with her pups too! She was very responsive and provided updates almost daily. I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking to board their pet.

Our pup had the best time with Ruth! He made fast friends with her dogs and loved being outside in the mountain air. We got photos and updates every day and we knew he was well-loved and in excellent care.
