Pet care experience

Wanted: WAGGY TAILS

For three years I walked two leash pulling cocker spaniels. I turned to watching Cesar Milan for tips, soon I had the dogs walking next to me with the leash loose in my hand. Their owner knew when I’d come to walk them, because they would be barking then quit, due to my entrance with no eye contact. As Cesar says dogs sense with their nose, eyes and ears consecutively. The owner made a comment once “oh, Ruthie must be here”.

It would work better if I could come to your place. I live in a small condo. That way your pet is kept in it’s familiar surroundings.

Lovey woman! She took great care of my girl and I appreciated the flexibility as we had some traffic and our timing wasn’t exact. ❤️

Doggy Day Care • Aug 02, 2025

Ruth is a wonderful , caring dog sitter. If I can recommend her to anyone it would be my pleasure. She walked Dottie , took her for a car ride and was very entertaining to my baby. Ruth is the best rover sitter I have used out of the 6 previous sitters. Thank you Ruth for a day caring for my dog.
