Hi there, I'm Ruth--your dog's second best friend. Working with animals has always been my dream job, there's nothing better than spending time with a smiling dog. I love animals and I'm sure I'll love yours too. I'm happy to come care for them in the comfortable environment of their home. I have loved animals my entire life, and luckily, they love me back. When I was a child, I took responsibility for the care of my family pets. We always had at least one dog and one cat in the house, and their presence always made it feel like home. Over the years, I have pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and they and their pets were always happy with my care. I won't only care for your pet, I'll care for your home too! Please let me know if you have any small household chores you would like me to complete while you're away. As a former postal worker, I've seen my fair share of dogs and was never bitten in my 15 years on the job. Customers always commented about my rapport with their pets. I even had a customer whose dog would take my hand to lead me to the house! I have a very flexible schedule, and will be happy to care for pets over the holidays. People are usually amazed at how quickly their pets accept me. I love to walk and play with them, and enjoy becoming their friend. I also can care for cats too, including the more difficult of our feline friends. Please reach out to me with questions. I'd love to learn more about your animals and your needs. Thank you!
