I am very organized by nature. I am very careful with my own pets and would be the same with yours. They are our family so I will give them all the TLC needed while you’re away, stress free.

Ruth did an excellent job with both dogs. Although, this was her first time to work for us, she demonstrated confidence and skill in executing her duties. As a result, I felt relaxed and so did the dogs. I rate her with 5 stars.

After our boy was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and needed medication twice a day we feared not being able to travel any more. Ruth has saved us!! She has earned Logan’s trust and watches over him and the house like it’s her own

Ruth is the best with our senior boy. He can be a bit grumpy and she has won him over. We are so grateful to have our kitty in such trusty hands while we travel. Ruth always communicates and gives great updates- she even handled his vomit/ hairball mess!
