Information Ruth S. would like to know about your pet

It is important that your dog is treated for fleas/ticks and that they are able to walk nicely on the leash without excessive pulling. Any special needs such as pills or shots we will accommodate.

We take two long walks each day morning/evening and in between those two times times, we walk around the yard. On the weekends we can take dogs to the Greenway and/or dog park.

Pet care experience

I have loved many dogs in my life. The first being before I went to school, the second one was when I was a teenager, the third was a dog who followed me home and her puppy, and the last one was a beautiful Golden retriever we adopted when his owner was moving. We now have a 5 year old female Labrador Retriever so we can only board those dogs that get along with other dogs. I work part time and my husband works at home, so there is always someone home to pay attention to the needs of a dog. We are early risers so that is when the dog gets the first walk. The second walk would be early evening and bathroom breaks would be in between those times with a leash in the front or back yard.

Ruth was a good fit for our medium-sized dog who is 8 years old. He and Ruth’s bigger dog got along fine. Our dog is used to being walked, since we don’t have a fenced-in yard, so it worked perfect that Ruth takes her dog on two walks a day. She was very accommodating to our dog’s pickiness with eating. I would definitely use her again.

I believe Ruth took very good care of our little Tucker. We know he took to her because he liked sitting on her lap.
