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! 💛

I’m so appreciative of how communicative Ruthie was throughout our fur baby’s stay! From the initial meet-and-greet with her dog, Pete, I immediately felt comfortable and confident having Ruthie care for Luna. Our dogs got along so well, and it was reassuring knowing Luna was in such a welcoming and loving environment. Ruthie kept us updated throughout her stay, which made being away from her so much easier. I would absolutely recommend Ruthie to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and caring to look after their fur baby. We would happily have Luna stay with her again!

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!

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.

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.
