“Ruth is exceptional! She is timely, communicative, and very thoughtful. Our meet and greet was wonderful, and I could tell she is very thorough because of all of the questions she asked to make sure our fur babies get the best care possible. Today she walked our dogs while we were away, sent a report card, and multiple pictures. We are extremely pleased and look forward to hiring her again ☺️ Thanks, Ruth!”

About: Firstly, I will listen to your pet's needs that you have, and follow them accordingly. Secondly, I will play with your babies and pay attention to them, with love and affection. I will walk with them around the Lake's, and engage them, by talking to them, so that they know they are loved by me. Thirdly, I do like to play catch and engage them in different games, so their time away from you will fly by for them. Lastly, I am not trained in the Heimlich for dogs, nor CPR, but I have had to do the Heimlich on my own dog, whom was choking on food, to save her life. I look forward to playing with your babies. Thank you so very much.

“Nicole is awesome! She took amazing care of our puppy and didn’t mind the big puppy energy lol”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and multiple pets at once.

About: I have had a dog since I was 5, she is currently 15. I care for her greatly and will do anything to keep her happy and healthy. I would do the same for anyone else's pet while their owner is away. I am available while I am home from college all the time. I am willing to take care of an animal to the best of my abilities any time of the day. I follow the instructions given by the owner very well so the change does not harm the animal. I have a fenced in backyard and one medium sized female dog. If boarding at my home, the dog(s) would need to be good with female dogs. I will ensure the dog is very well taken care of while in my care.
