Introduction: Westside Pet Sitting offers quality pet sitting services for the owners who require outstanding care for their pets. I have owned my business for 21 years and was awarded Thumbtack's Best of 2015 for Ft. Worth. I do all my own work and never send others to your home. I can offer excellent references from many happy long time customers. My service area includes 76107. 76109, 76116, 76126 and 76132. I do not charge extra for last minute calls or holidays and my fee is all inclusive - feeding, playtime, medicines given, mail and newspapers brought in and rotating lights to make your home look lived in. However, I do not stay overnight in pet owner's homes. In addition to pet sitting, I also offer mid day dog walking for owners who work. Each dog is walked at a leisurely pace to relieve boredom and provide a potty break. I am mature, a college graduate and a member of Pet Sitters International, DFW Dachshund Club, the United States Dressage Federation, the Arabian Horse Assn. and the National Cutting Horse Assn. I also performed 23 years of volunteer work with handicapped children at the Child Study Center. I believe my years of experience with a variety of pets coupled with my love of all animals give me the ability to offer the highest level of care. The thing I enjoy most about the work I do is the interaction with the pets I visit and seeing them benefit from my care. Pets actually do experience stress from being left alone for long periods of time and I can help alleviate that with my visits. I give pets a break from monotony by exercising them and giving them playtime. I also have a portable radio that I leave on with music playing to ease the extended periods of silence while owners are away.

I am very pleased with the service I received! Ruth was very kind, updated me daily, and offered to accommodate if I had a flight change due to weather. I would highly recommend Westside!

Ruth was wonderful to work with. She is very pleasant to work with. She walked my two dogs as requested and left descriptive notes about their time together. I truly appreciated her help and will definitely be using her services in the future. I highly recommend Ruth.

Ruth has been great with my dogs letting them out while I'm at work and gives me daily updates that everything at the house is ok. She's very flexible and has been great to work with.

Although I didn't use her after all because my plans were altered due to weather, I talked to her a couple times and felt comfortable with her with my dog. If I ever need a pet sitter I will certainly call her.

Thank you so very much for being kind enough to leave a positive review. I appreciate your kindness more than I can say and would love to care for your dog should you need a sitter again. Ruth

Ruth has been outstanding. I was a nervous to give a stranger access to my home, much less have a key. Ruth is trustworthy and reliable. She leaves a note everyday updating me on my pets activities during her visit.
