At this time, we are working from a waitlist for NEW dog clients. If you are in need of dog sitting or dog walking and would like to be contacted when we have availability, please contact us!
We ARE available for care of cat only homes.
Professional, personalized pet care
The mission of Ruff Life Pet Sitting is to provide the best possible care for your pet when you are away at work, on vacation, recovering from an illness or any other unforeseen situation that may take you away from your furry, feathered or scaly family members.
Whatever your pet may be (cat, dog, guinea pig, bunny, etc.), you never want to leave them unattended for any length of time. At Ruff Life Pet Sitting, we can take care of your pet while you are away, which in turn will give you one less worry and will keep your pet in his or her happy place. Keeping pets happy at home will reduce stress (on them and you), protect them from illness, and keep them on their regular diet and schedule. Other than the missing you, your pets will be happy and healthy when you return.
Pet Sitting is a service that allows you to keep your pet in the comfort of their own home and still have human interaction. Not all pets do well with pet sitting and would benefit from staying with a boarder / boarding facility. If you have never used a pet sitter before, we will let you know if your pet needs alternate arrangements for future travel.
THE BENEFITS OF USING A PROFESSIONAL IN-HOME PET CARE PROVIDER:
- Less stress on you and your pet. Your pet is able to stay in surroundings which he or she is accustomed while a bonded, insured and background checked professional is also keeping watch over your home.
- This is our livelihood. Once you are scheduled, there will be no last minute cancellations (short of a natural disaster) because "something came up". We have sitters who can step in should an emergency arise that prohibits your primary pet sitter from completing a service.
- You will receive updates after each visit so you know how your pets are doing in your absence.
- Should your pet need emergency care during a pet sitting period, the transport to the veterinarian is included.
- No scheduled drop off and pick up times! Your pet will be waiting for you when you get home!
For your peace of mind
Enjoy a relaxing vacation knowing that we’re taking care of all your beloved pet’s needs. Our pet sitters are trustworthy, compassionate animal lovers who have been trained and take pet care seriously. Your pets will be treated as if they were our own!
Individualized care
If your pet has special needs, you can trust us to give them the care and attention they need. We are happy to administer medications or insulin injections.
What our clients say about us:
Happy Thanksgiving! 🍂🦃
This season, I’m filled with gratitude for the wonderful clients and pets who have become part of my "extended family". Your trust, support, and friendship mean the world to me, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to provide peace of mind when you need pet care.
Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful Thanksgiving, surrounded by good food, laughter, and the company of loved ones. May this season bring warmth to your heart and home.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. 🍁
A different kind of freedom ride today as Dickey is free from a body that no longer serves him. Freedom from failing kidneys and bad joints. From incontinence and seizures. He will be missed 💔 RIP, Dickey.
Thanks to Dr. Ryan Robinson @freeenergydr and the amazing staff at @thecreeksidevet for making the transition for Dickey as comfortable as was possible.
When you have to work all weekend, but these are your clients...it's a pretty sweet "job".
It's nice to provide peace of mind to the pet parents, especially when the pets are so great.

In true "Super Buddy" fashion, he's more concerned with making the human in front of him happy than he is with the $h!t show that may be happening just behind him. Lol.

When you're cute, you have to dress tough so the world knows what a hella fierce protector you really are 🙃🐾

I recently had the privilege of taking care of this guy. "Super Tim" is a larger than life character, and he doesn't hesitate to let you know when his food bowl is empty.

This little lady was the sweetest cat with the biggest eyes. I met her and her mom in 2015 and became their pet sitter. The family moved away in 2022, so I had 7 years to love Chinny.
As a pet sitter, I get to know and love many pets, so the loss of one means something. Though I had not seen her in 2 years, I can't tell you how touched I was that Chinny's mom reached out.
I hope Chinny is now laying in a cloud garden, chasing butterflies and drinking water from crystal glasses.

Buddy is such an easy going, laid back dog. He's a great pillow and gets along with dogs and cats (cats make him a little nervous, though). He wants all the attention, as does Oakley, so there's some competition between them - friendly competition. I swear she gives him an "I win" smirk at the end of the day, though because she can jump onto the bed and he can't (yet). Once he loses some weight she may not be the only one on the bed 😁
Buddy is 2 years old and healthy overall, just a bit overweight. He's available for adoption through Lone Star Animal Welfare League
Meet Buddy! He's a super sized chonk, but as sweet as he can be. Lone Star Animal Welfare League has taken him in and will make sure he finds the best home possible.
Buddy's family found themselves in situation they did not ask for and his mom reached out for help. Thankfully, Laura McConnell was able to give Buddy's mom peace of mind and we will be fostering.
Buddy is 2 years old and about 15 lbs overweight. We will be working on his diet and he will get regular exercise. He's a very laid back boy, gets along with our cats and dogs. We won't officially have him until the first week of May, but will be happily posting more.
It's always fun bringing out the inner kitten in a senior cat with the wave of a wand (toy) 🥰

I had the pleasure of taking care of these two, Twinkle and Maliboo. I can't wait to see them again 😍

According to the Sleep Foundation, weighted blankets promote comfort and security; ease stress and soothe anxiety; improve sleep quality and calm the nervous system.
This is Sadie and she identifies as a weighted blanket. I can attest that the sleep foundation is 100% correct. 😁❤️

This special boy REALLY wanted to see what was in the bag 😊. I think he would have really enjoyed the dog treats I had, but had to deny him the snacks. He did enjoy some post denial petting and I was forgiven.

Lucy: "Another picture? I think mom would be fine with just one, yet here you are again 'capturing moments'"
Me: "Lucy, I love your photos as much as your mom. We're capturing memories."
Lucy: "How about capturing my tongue across your face?"
Me: "Gross! You just licked your butt!" 😂

Rainy days and a light afternoon give me time to practice and go down the YouTube Photoshop tutorial rabbit hole. I have such respect for photographers and editors that use this program effectively. I am attempting to learn the "painterly" style of editing. I was not expecting there to be so many steps 😳 Amanda Rhodes - Boeing is always up to have his picture taken 😁❤️#alwayslearning #cussingandlearning #swearinghelps
