I'm a stay at home mom(my dog Ruger

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Ruth and I can't wait to meet you and your dog. There's nothing better than spending time with a furry friend, it's impossible to be sad when you see those wagging tails. If you're looking for a home away from home for your beloved pet, you've come to the right place! You and your dog will love that I am experienced and passionate about pet care. Until recently we have had several dogs and cats. However now due to allergies I unfortunately am cat free. Since I am stay at home mom I am able to help your buddy have a stress free time while you are away through tons of attention and supervision. I love looking after dogs and making sure they are safe while their owners are away. I am a great communicator and will send you lots of updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having. Our home consists of 2 humans (my husband and myself) and one 4 legged 9 year old Border Collie named Jordan. We have a rather large fenced yard and a open floor plan to our home so there is lots of room to roam and explore. As stated previously we are usually always home so I would be available from 7-6 to look after your pet. I am happy to follow your instructions and to keep to your dog's normal routine. In the past I have watched dogs as small as a Tea Cup Chihuahua and as large as a Great Dane, so I'm ready for any breeds!

Bruno had a great time on his stay at Ruth's and enjoyed his day playing with the other pets during his stay.
