“Ruth was so sweet both to us and our little pup from drop off to pick up and all in between. Our dog, Zeke, has major separation anxiety, and he warmed right up to Ruth and didn't leave her side. She was excellent with communication and updates. Would definitely recommend Ruth to care for your pet!!”
