Ruby

Felton, CA

  Breed: Bichon Shitzhu

  Weight: 10 lbs

  Age: 1 year old puppy

  Gender: Female

We are a dog loving family and I (Maxine) work up in Canada for two weeks at a time My husband works long days up in San Jose so we're looking for someone to look after Ruby when I'm gone and just on work days. I'm home full time when I'm not up in Canada working in healthcare. Ryan is in education and we have a 10 yr old with us half the time. We had a 10 yr old lab/pitbull who passed in Jan and now have little Ruby. Ruby is the sweetest, calmest dog and everyone loves her. She sleeps through the night in her crate, is 95% potty trained and doesn't bark a lot. She loves to cuddle and go for walks on the beach. She is unspayed so a house with either another female dog or neutered male dog would be best. She shouldn't go though another heat until Feb.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a sitter for puppy boarding in Santa Cruz?

How do I contact a Santa Cruz sitter for puppy boarding?
You can chat with any dog sitter through our messaging feature. We encourage your to trade phone numbers when you meet up for your first playdate to form a personal connection.
How many sitters provide puppy boarding in Santa Cruz?
There are 11 sitters in Santa Cruz.
How long will it take for me to find a puppy boarding sitter in Santa Cruz?
It depends on your needs and the sitter's availability. We've seen people confirm their plans in as short as a few hours but typically it takes a week. It takes a few days to hear back from the community and then a few more days to meet up for a playdate to make sure the puppies are compatible and everyone is comfortable with the necessary care. If you're gone for longer trips (anything longer than an extended weekend), we also encourage a trial night to be absolutely sure.
How experienced are sitters providing puppy boarding in Santa Cruz?
All sitters on WoofyClub are current dog or puppy parents. For older members, they might have reviews as well on their profile. Do not hesitate to ask them more!
My dog has special needs. Can I find dog boarding on WoofyClub that can accommodate my dog’s needs?
Yes absolutely. We've matched up families with service dogs, diabetic dogs, senior dogs, puppies, etc. Make sure to discuss it with the host family and also to include it in your profile. Everyone's very accommodating but it's better not to provide any surprises :)
What if my dog is not yet spayed or neutered?
That's totally ok. When creating your profile, you'll be asked if your dog has been spayed or neutered. While there are fewer families willing to take in a dog that hasn't been spayed or neutered, many families are open to it still.
What if my dog hasn't been fully vaccinated?
In general, your dogs need to be fully vaccinated. However, that might not be possible for puppies. If your puppy is too young to get vaccinated and you have it scheduled for them, please let the host know about it. We also ask about your dog's vaccination status when creating your profile. Often times, we find puppy owners swapping with each other as they're both going through the same journey.
