I love all fur babies like my own ❤

Pet care experience

☆ I sincerely apologize for my lack of availability lately due to health issues! I had my back surgery so I'm ready to get back to taking care of your babies!! ☆ I've had dogs and cats since before I was able to walk. I am the one who stops to pet any dog I see in public and love all of the sugars and love they give. I currently have 1 spayed female cat that's 2 and a 9 year old blind, diabetic dog who requires insulin twice daily. Please don't judge by Duke's appearance in some of his pictures. Diabetes is a terrible, up and down rollercoaster with weight loss/gain. I can assure you that he lives his best life and is a spoiled rotten baby. **I do not have exotic animal experience, but I am more than willing to learn! (Please just don't ask me to take your snake or tarantula out and play with it😅)** I'm also an EMT so I'm well trained with the proper equipment if an emergency arises and know right where the closest ER vet is to me.

I used Ruthie for two weeks and she did a great job. My cat liked her and he does not normally do well around strangers. I highly recommend Ruthie.

Ruthie kept my lab Karly for 8 days and i didn't worry about her one bit! Ruthie sent photos and updates almost every day we were gone. And i definitely plan on using her again! Ruthie with Rover.com has been a life saver for us. We are glad we found Ruthie. Thanks again for taking good care of Karly!

Safety, trust & environment

I do have a fenced in yard and I can do leashes if necessary. Duke loves someone to play tug-a-war with and roll in the grass with. I absolutely will not tolerate a dog that is aggressive towards Duke, myself or my cat. **I definitely recommend a meet and greet first!** **I do prefer you bring their usual feeding bowl for doggy day care and boarding. It helps them feel more comfortable and they know that that food belongs to them. I also prefer that you bring a kennel for your pet if they need to be left alone or for bed time if they are used to having a kennel.**

Information Ruthie B. would like to know about your pet

*If I am working for you with more than one animal in my care, please list all pets on your profile otherwise they aren't covered by the Rover Guarantee if something were to happen! This goes for any type of visit!* Do they require a leash? (I recommend sending a leash and collar regardless just in case) Are they good with a cat? (She normally hides anyway) Do they enjoy car rides? Beach trips when permittable? Aggressive towards other dogs/cats or humans? Any allergies? Any medication needed? Separation anxiety? Chewing issues? UTD on vaccines and heartworm/flea prevention?

A typical day

I do tons of yard time. I have a decent sized fenced lot so your pet will definitely get plenty of exercise outside with toys, physical play and play with Duke. Walks in the neighborhood aren't in my comfort zone because there are several stray and aggressive dogs so we definitely stay inside the fence. I have no problem with loading everybody up in the car and taking a drive with the windows down. When we are inside, the animals run the house. I want them to be as comfortable and as stress free as possible. There is a lot of love to give in my household and I just love getting a repeat boarder who knows exactly where they are again and can instantly relax so I hope this puts your mind at ease. I send tons of pictures throughout visits and stays!

Availability

**If I am house sitting (where I stay at your house 24/7) for you, Duke has to come with me. This is non-negotiable due to his insulin 2x daily but he does not come along for drop-in visits or dog walking.** Unfortunately, I am a widow so I'm trying to keep busy and pets definitely have a lot of love to give, which I definitely need. PLEASE PLEASE let me know in advance, even if my schedule says busy on Rover, feel free to ask anyway because I may still be able to accommodate your fur baby! I am currently not working so I am available!
