Friendly Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I love all animals & have had plenty of my own including dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, fish, a Guinea pig, & a rabbit. I especially love playing & hanging out with dogs. I have two 10-month-old dogs of my own (a corgi & beagle) who also love other dogs. Your dog(s) will be well cared for & will hopefully love being part of our pack. If yours don’t get along with dogs, I am always happy to come to your house.

Ruthie always does an amazing job. Bleu has been so happy, chill and relaxed since I got back home! I can tell he had a great weekend. Thank you again so much!

Our pups loved staying with Ruthie! They are attention hogs that love to play and snuggle, and she kept them entertained and loved while we were away. She took great care of our pups and left our house looking fabulous! She even left a sweet note and flowers to come home to. Rufio and Tink would definitely love for Ruthie to come stay and play again. We are pretty sure they miss her more than they missed us :)

Information Ruthie C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dogs have any medication/health requirements & also if your dog gets along with other dogs. I’ve had plenty of experience with medicating & caring for sick dogs & cats.

A typical day

I love playing fetch, tug-of-war & “find it” in the backyard or in the house depending on weather. I have a dog park in my neighborhood that I take the dogs to when no one else is using it. I also live by mt trashmore which is always a fan favorite. I love taking dogs on adventures, even trails or the beach depending on the client’s comfortability with outings.

Availability

I have a full time 9-5 Monday through Friday job, so am typically available evenings during the week & all day/night on weekends. If your dog is able to stay home during the work day, I would be able to feed/walk them in the morning then again as soon as I get back from work, & stay with them for the remainder of the evening.
