Ruthie is a fun loving sitter that really goes above and beyond for the pets she cares for. Ruthie has made toys for my cat, brushes her, trims nails and has made sure to follow my care instructions for her in detail during the times I am out of town. Ruthie also has taken care of my new puppy Lucy (11 weeks German Shorthaired Pointer), she ensures she is fed, played with and watched closely. She makes sure that Lucy is taken out before and after eating, gets 1 hour of vigorous exercise and play time keeping in mind that Lucy needs to be constantly disciplined and stay on track with her daily routine for effective training. Ruthie also makes sure to send pictures and videos during her stays or walks and doesn't hesitate to contact me if there are any issues. Ruthie is quick on her toes and reacts quickly to dangerous situations (from experience) and has a really big heart for the animals she cares for !
