I have loved animals all of my life and have cared for numerous dogs and cats. I have house sat on numerous occasions for 4 families in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina in the past 2 years, and am scheduled for another sit before the end of this year. We currently have a pit/lab mix rescue named Chase and a cat named Bobby, that my husband feeds when I house sit. My daughters named Bobby after the character Bobby on The Brady Bunch!

Ruth did a great job. She was caring and attentive to our pets. She sent pictures everyday that made me feel connected with them even though we were far away. She's a great communicator and we were really happy she came. She drove us to and from the airport which was so kind of her. She's truly a committed person. Thank you so much Ruth. We would recommend her.

I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy house sitter/pet sitter. She took great care of my home and cats while my boyfriend and I were away, and I was so happy to come home to a very CLEAN house and happy pets! Ruth was always responsive to our messages, and sent us updates and pictures of June and May while we were gone. One of my cats was sick when we left but Ruth set my catmom nerves at ease by making sure May was comfortable in her environment. This ...

This is my second time booking Ruth and I would definitely use their services again in the future!

Ruth set my nerves at ease while I was out of town. It was my first time using House Sitters of America so I was very nervous about leaving my home and my cats in the care of someone I didn't know. But Ruth far exceeded my expectations! She sent me photos of my cats daily and always responded when I reached out. Ruth was kind enough to even stay an extra day when I got sick during my trip and my return flight had to change. I recommend Ruth and I would book her again!
