We have had Ruth stay with our cats on a few occasions over the past couple of years. She has done an excellent job, caring for our cats and our home. One of our cats is older and particularly«high maintenance». Ruth has been able to develop an almost immediate rapport and manage difficult behavior. It has made it much more relaxing to leave home, knowing that our cats are well taken care of. She is great about staying in communication via texts or email, reporting in occasionally on how everything is going. In addition, when we arrive home, the house is neat and clean! I highly recommend Ruth Lorain for in-home pet sitting!
