Molly heads into the house and lays down readily, gets excited when she sees and hears Ruth.

Totally trust Ruth with our golden. He loves being there and we know he’s getting his much needed daily exercise. Never mind all the love and attention he receives. We enjoy the pictures Ruth sends showing how well taken care of he is. ❤️

Brie had the best time with Ruth. We had updates daily of their adventures, and felt so comfortable leaving our girl at their beautiful home. Next time we go away, will definitely be reaching out to Ruth again!

Ruth was quite attentive to Molly, as well as putting my mind at ease with daily notes. Molly was well cared for. Ruth was patient with Mollys anxiety on hardwood floors, by putting out her carpets and runners! We will connect with Ruth again!

This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have chosen better than Ruth! Ruth is just such a calm, caring person who we know loved our dog like her own. Our dog loves walks and he received nice long ones every day with Ruth. I think our pup was a bit spoiled with Ruth which we truly appreciated. We will choose Ruth again when we need the service and hope she will be available!

Safety, trust & environment

My house is lakefront with a fenced backyard and a pool in the summer. We are close to the Bruce Trail and several off-leash and leashed parks.

A typical day

Morning walk up to 5km which might be around the neighborhood or a hike up the escarpment followed by a quiet day. Another shorter walk after dinner. Maybe a game or two during the day. A swim in the pool, if permitted during the summer.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Ruth can host up to 1 pet per night
There are lots of squirrels in our neighbourhood; I would need to know if your dog is reactive to wildlife like squirrels and the occasional cat. Does your dog pull on the lead? Is your dog well-behaved when someone comes to the door?
