About The Host: Hey! I’m Ruth :) Throughout my life there has always been a fluffy friend. I grew up having a plethora of dogs - mostly bully breeds - As a teenager I started volunteering as a dog walker for this shelter in my old neighborhood. Which then led to me walking/caring for some of my neighbors dogs and working for a company. The amount of exposure I received as a child and dog walker made me extremely comfortable with all dog breeds. Once crossing over the Hudson River and making Lower Manhattan my home; I found myself pet sitting more. If I’m not hosting a fluffy friend in my home then you’ll be able to find me somewhere in Brooklyn caring for a dog, cat, and home haha! I should also add that I am currently a full time student! so I make sure to make my study breaks extra fun with fluffy friends by going on walks, having a play session, training sessions ( to build a bond), maybe a quick snuggling fest…who knows! About Fluffy Host - Sophia - Sophia is a silly, sweet, drama queen. She does well with all types of dogs but I have realized she gets anxious/stressed when they are TOO energetic and can’t respect her boundaries. Even though she’s silly and likes to have fun, she also needs her time to unwind. Sophia also loves cats! and I’m convinced she was a cat in her past life.
