Pet care experience

🌸 Patience, Passion, Pet Pics! 🌸

For as long as I can remember, my home has always been full of fluffy/scaly friends. Throughout my life, I’ve gotten to love and care for so many dogs, cats, parakeets, goats, chickens, gerbils & hamsters, fish, even a few reptiles. I learned at a young age to value and have compassion for all life. 🩷 My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and to keep them safe under my care! I strive to give you peace of mind while you’re away from your furry friend so you can relax or tend to your responsibilities with full focus. 🐶 I have experience working with all kinds of dogs from anxious/reactive dogs, seniors, dogs that require medication, training puppies, bottle feeding pups and more. I understand these babies need extra patience and love and I’m prepared to give that to them! I pay attention to your pets body language and signs and respect their boundaries. If they want cuddles they will get sooo many, and if they want space, I’ll give them that! 📷 I love taking and sending photos so you can see for yourself how your pet is doing! I speak English & Spanish 🌼

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

🏡 Safety in the Home/Environment During walks, I am aware of our surroundings and will make sure your pet doesn’t pick any trash off the floor or have bad interactions with other animals or people. During playtime, if they start chewing too hard and tearing up their toys, I will make sure they do not ingest any stuffing or plastic pieces. Your pet is safe under my watch!

Schedule

🗓️ Currently offering: Drop-Ins / Walks / House Sitting! • I will always ask new clients for a quick meet & greet before the date of the first booking. This is to ensure your pet becomes familiar with me and so we can go over your expectations for the visit(s)!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Ruth can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet may have any behavioral issues (not a deal breaker, just want to be prepared) and let me know a little about their personality. Do they get along with other animals? Include any medications or allergies they may have. If there is a specific schedule you’d like me to follow, please include that as well. Thank you!
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.
