Your Pup's Home Away From Home

Hi, we're Ruthie & Jerry! 🐾 Dogs are family in our home, and we'll treat your pup like one of our own. We know leaving your dog can be stressful, so we focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved from the moment they arrive. Whether your dog loves to play fetch, go for walks, explore the yard, or simply curl up on the couch for cuddles, we'll match their routine and personality. Our dog, Pete, loves making new friends, and we carefully introduce every guest to make sure everyone is comfortable. You'll receive regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is happy and well cared for. We can't wait to meet you and your dog! 💛

Ruthie and her husband were incredibly kind and took such great care of our Benny. They kept him active, happy, and well loved throughout his stay. We especially appreciated the frequent photos and updates, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away knowing he was in such good hands. We would happily trust them with Benny again!

Ruthie is one of the most kind and respectful people I know! She’s absolutely wonderful with dogs and treats them with just as much love and care as her own.

Ruthie is an exemplary dog owner, and she loves all four legged friends as her own. I've seen Ruthie foster dogs that are in need, and dog sit numerous times. I personally lived with Ruthie and her dog, Ziggy, for 7 years, and she taught me the ins and outs of being a responsible dog owner. Being an active individual, it makes sense that she would like to bring a lucky pup along with her on her daily walks and runs! Ruthie is truly a lover of all animals, but the connection she has with dogs is undeniable.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a safe, clean home with a fenced-in backyard for supervised outdoor time. I also have a friendly, well-socialized lab mix named Pete who enjoys the company of other dogs. I’m attentive to each dog’s needs, routines, and comfort level, and I always prioritize safety, structure, and lots of love.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks, breakfast, and some playtime before we start the day. On weekdays, your dog can either come with me to a dog-friendly workplace for regular breaks and attention, or stay home and relax. Evenings include more playtime, walks around the park, dinner, and plenty of time to unwind. We keep routines consistent and tailor the day to your dog’s energy level and needs.
