❤️ Attentive & caring ❤️

I'm a lifelong dog lover. I grew up with dogs and have been sitting dogs since 2018. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs, dogs with special needs, and rescues. I'll go the extra mile for your pet! I'm a dog mom to Reggie, a sweet rescue chihuahua who loves other dogs & people. BONUS: I love taking pictures of dog - I find they're the best models. Happy to take lots of shots of your pet.

Ruthanna was a great dog sitter! She left the house in perfect condition and always sent amazing photos of our dog.

It’s always a pleasure to hire Ruthanna! She took such wonderful care of Mixie and my home during my vacation. I’m always relaxed knowing my dog is in good hands. She makes sure to give me daily updates and is quick to respond. Definitely my go-to sitter! Highly recommend.

I had a wonderful experience working with Ruthanna and would 100% recommend her as a pet sitter! During my vacation, she gave consistent updates and photos, went out of her way to accommodate any requests, and left my home in pristine condition. I was relaxed throughout my trip knowing my Mixie was in reliable hands and seemed to be having the best time. At the end of my trip I fell ill and needed to extend last minute, and she was a life saver by accommodating me. Truly one of the best sitters I’ve worked with!

My puppy came home well cared for and happy after staying at Ruthanna’s nice apartment. What a great neighborhood. Thank you for the walks in the Presidio trails. Jack looks forward to seeing you again. 🥰

Ruthanna and Miles were the best hosts for our girl Tuesday. We were on a longer trip and worried about leaving her for so long with a sitter, but our worries were quickly eased when we saw how well she was being cared for and entertained. We were so appreciative of the daily updates of their walks and outings (and a little jealous of some of the amazing places that she got to enjoy!). Ruthanna and Miles only take one dog at a time so we know Tuesday was able to get undivided attention. We also loved that Ruthanna works from home and was there with Tuesday all day. We highly recommend entrusting your precious furbaby to Ruthanna and Miles!

Schedule

I work from home part of the week and my partner, who also loves dogs and helps dog sit, works from home all week. NOTE: I am in office Tues-Thurs, around 9am-5pm. I love to spend my weekends going for long walks and chilling at home, preferably with a dog by my side.
