Day and Overnight Stays

Going on vacation? I offer your dog(s) a calm, fun and loving home environment to spend their time while you enjoy your time away!

Half Day Doggy Care

Have errands to run, renovations at your house, a party where you can't take your dog? I offer half day doggy care in my home. 

Pet Sitting

Have more than 2 pets?
I provide day and overnight pet sitting at your house. Your pets will be able to stay in the comfort of your home during your time away.

    "Any of my friends who live in Hamilton and surrounding areas and who own a "fur-baby" and are looking for a pet sitter, I HIGHLY recommend Ruth watching them! She has a heart of gold and true love for all living creatures! The comfort of knowing your dog is being loved and taken care of in someone's house; as opposed to a general "kennel", allows you to enjoy your time away from them even more! This gives me a great sense of peace.

    Ruth was fantastic with our dog! She took care of him like he was her own. He was loved and got the exercise he needed! We'll definitely be back!

    If you need someone to love your pets as though they were their own, then Ruth is your girl! She is such a kind hearted, loving person. She is the only person I trust to take care of my boys! They are so loved while we are gone, it's like we were never away! They get so much love and attention! Lot's of play time with her dog, Buttons too! Thank you, Ruth! You make time away from my fur-babies so stress free.
