A background check is a check of a person's criminal record up until the date of issue. At Pawshake we ask our sitters to update their checks every 12 months to remain current.About Ruth
We are a quiet couple, both animal lovers, married for 30 years. Non-smokers, non-partying. We came back to Canada 9 years ago after years of traveling and living in Poland, Russia, the Dominican Republic, and Tanzania. We had a beautiful rescue dog in Africa named Tanker, who was extremely protective and very energetic. We have experience caring for many kinds of breeds of dogs and different temperaments - both elderly and young, healthy and needing special attention. For example, we have looked after Afghan Hound, Border Collie, Goldendoodle, Italian Greyhound, Poodle, Lhasa Apso, Labradoodle, Labrador, Malamute, Shih Tsu, French Pug, Great Pyrenees, Labrador, Whippet, Wolf/Dog hybrid, and Staffordshire Bull Terrier.
We love cats too! We have cared for Siamese, Devon Rex, and Tabby and loved them all. When I was young, I had a beautiful Persian Blue cat named Muffin - he was so cuddly! Jordan also grew up with cats and had a dog named Qualico. We also have experience looking after chickens! We have done pet/house sitting in the UK and Canada and received excellent reviews and testimonials, which we would be happy to share with you. We are an active couple - we love walks on the beach, hiking, and trail walking. We can give your dogs whatever level of exercise they are used to. We work from home and run our own business, so we have time to spend with your pets.
We vow to look after your property and pets in an excellent and respectful manner. Jordan and I always leave a house that we have stayed at spotlessly clean and tidy. We both have police background check certificates and excellent previous house/pet sitting references. We are very affectionate, caring, and patient with all animals. We look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets! We speak fluent Spanish and Swahili. We will always follow all your instructions to the letter, and show deep respect for your property. We will leave your house spotless, sheets washed, etc.
SERVICES: We split our time between Canada and Asia, so we are happy to have a video chat with you to get to know all about your needs and your pet's routines. We really look forward to meeting you!
