Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care through check-in visits and dog walking. I prioritize each pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel safe and well cared for while their owner is away. Please let me know any important details about your dog or anything I should prepare in advance to help them feel as comfortable as possible.

Information Ruthie L. would like to know about your pet

Before a walk or check-in visit, it’s important to know any key details about your dog. Please let me know their routine, energy level, leash behavior, and any triggers or fears (like loud noises or other dogs). If they have medical needs, special instructions, or specific routes they prefer, I’ll make sure to follow them to keep your pet comfortable and happy. Also, let me know if they enjoy car rides, dog parks, or other outings so I can tailor activities towards your pup!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged! Depending on their energy level and your preferences, I can take them on hikes, walk around the neighborhood, visit dog parks (if allowed), or even take a trip to the beach. I also enjoy exploring new areas with them and going on fun car rides for a change of scenery. My goal is to make sure they get plenty of exercise, stimulation, and, of course they are happy the whole time!

Paws Up for Loving Trustworthy Care

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Ruthie, and I’ve been around dogs my whole life (& have adopted my best friend of four years!) From training puppies to caring for senior dogs, I have experience with all stages of a pup’s life. I’ve also pet-sat for family dogs on and off for about two years and have had my own dogs for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I’m patient, attentive, and love spending time with dogs—whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them the attention they deserve. I also have experience with basic training and can reinforce commands if needed. Every dog has their own personality, and I take the time to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
