Ruth

Owner and Manager

Gig Harbor

I have always had a love and passion for all animals, and this led to me to study and become qualified in Animal Care. Here I gained invaluable knowledge on how to not only care for a variety of animals, but also to understand and identify their needs. I have an interest in canine psychology and what external factors makes dogs do the things they do.

I have shared my home with a variety of pets - dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, fish and birds and currently share my life with a yellow lab who is super friendly. This friendliness extends to all animals and humans and often gets him into trouble when the other does not reciprocate his friendship.

I am very thankful our current clients allow us to care for their pets, and I simply adore all our furry clients too!

Manager

Hi! I am Bonnie, I joined Ruth's Dog Walking LLC because I was looking for something I love to do: walking, animals and helping people out.

I have always had dogs and cats, and I wouldn't know what to do without them. One of my hobbies over the years was competing in Herding, Rally and Obedience. I enjoyed the herding the most because I was outside with my dogs and I liked watching how the dogs and livestock interacted with each other to move around a course. I got into Herding because one of my Rottweilers had some confidence issues. I was hooked and the Rottweiler built up his confidence and lived a happy long life.

I love the intelligence of Australian Shepherds, and this is what got me into Rally and Obedience competitions. I even trained for charity half marathons with one of my Australian Shepherds.

Last year I had my knee replaced and now I am ready to get moving again. Maybe I will get back into Herding, Rally, charity half marathons but for now I would love to walk/care for your pets.

Senior Dog Walker
Woodinville

Greetings! I'm Nicole and I'm on an exciting journey as a passionate dog walker. My love for animals has always been at the core of who I am, and it's this unwavering passion that led me from a fulfilling career as a medical assistant to this new adventure.

At the heart of my life is my dear companion, Alyeska, my cherished Australian Shepherd. She's not just a pet; she's family, and her boundless energy and loyalty inspire me every day. Having spent time caring for people in the medical field, I've honed my nurturing spirit and dedication to the well-being of others. Now, I'm channeling that same love and attention into the wonderful world of our four-legged friends. While I embrace my role as a dog walker, I'm also dreaming of another chapter in my life: the prospect of becoming a mother one day. As I embark on this path, my commitment to caring for and nurturing lives, whether human or furry, remains steadfast.

Even from a young age I've always been intrigued by animals of all kinds. During my early years in Arizona playing with my tomcat Aladar and my bearded dragon DunDee! If I wasn't around them I was either reading about any animal I could or outside trying to find them myself!

Moving to Washington my love for animals only grew as I met new family and friends who had their own furry (or not furry!) friends. I found myself always jumping to the opportunity to care for their pets if they were ever in need. As I've gained a better understand of how animals think and why they act the way I do it's not only helped me with my own pets but others as well. Sometimes we need a helping hand with our pets and I've found a real joy in extending that hand to owners who might need a break when life gets unpredictable. I enjoy meeting all people and pets at RDW and my main goal is to make pets feel as if you never left!

Angel
Professional Dog Walker

Woodinville

Hi there! I'm Angel. I started working for Ruth's Dog Walking in March 2024. I wanted to find a position where I could make a difference in my community. The idea of working together with a small team to help clients with their dogs when they are away for work or during a family outing sounded like a dream come true!

Since I have started, I never felt so welcomed and supported. We strive to give the best care for our clients pooches! Each one has a special spot in our hearts.

Adam
Professional Pet Sitter
Woodinville

Hi all! My name is Adam, and I am overjoyed at the opportunity to take care of your pets. From the time I was in single digits, I helped my mom foster kittens and raise our family dogs. As I got a little older, I started volunteering at our local animal shelter. I have been working in the pet-care industry for about one and a half years at this point, but have cohabitated with cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, and rats my entire life.

While working on my degree, I have found that working with animals has kept me grounded in a way that nothing else can compare to – when I'm overwhelmed, the pitter patter of paws on tile brings me right back down to earth. I am honored to be able to give our clients peace of mind by providing their pets with the best of care.

My love for animals has been a big part of my life, and my journey into pet sitting began with a lifelong fascination with animals, nurtured by years of caring for family pets. My experience spans a variety of pets, from energetic dogs to curious cats and everything in between.

Currently, I share my home with two charming rabbits, Sebastian and Adam, and two gentle doves. They bring endless joy and gentle companionship to my life. As I work towards earning my degree, I find that my love for animals provides a grounding and fulfilling balance.

Serena

Professional Dog Walker & Pet Sitter

Woodinville

Hey there, I am Serena! My passion for animals blossomed from a young age from doing 4H. I was immersed in hands-on experiences with dogs, cats, rabbits, and more, I learned early the value of nurturing life in every form. Those formative years instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility, compassion, and the importance of animal welfare.

As I grew older, my love for animals expanded beyond caring for my pets to helping others care for others. My journey has been enriched by countless heartwarming moments, fueling my determination to create safe, loving environments for all.

Today, I continue to honor the lessons learned from 4H, dedicated to ensuring your animal experiences the love and care they deserve.
