I used Anne as a cat sitter for my special needs cat before she opened up her business. My cat Crow…read morehad kidney failure and was FIV+ and needed a lot of attention. I left him on vacation for four days once, and even though my roommate was home, Crow meowed himself hoarse and lost weight while I was gone. He was only 5.5 lbs to start with, so we couldn't have him lose more. The next time I had to leave, Anne dropped in on him each day to play with him and make sure he was getting adequate amounts of his prescription food. He loved her, and I swear her weighed more when I got home! No hoarseness, and he's at happily on her lap when we were following up on how he had been. I know she has cats of her own, and she really does have a gift for making them happy. I can't thank her enough for the care and love she gave Crow!

I do not understand how there are so many good reviews for this place. I've been to other doggy…read moredaycare places (Stone Mountain), but Ruff Love was closer and more convenient, so I thought I'd give it a try. I went in today for an orientation and a walk through at about 10AM. IMO, there were way too many dogs in each area. The dog rooms are small and dimly lit, and all connected, so the atmosphere is very loud. I was shocked at how many large dogs were in such a small area. As we walked through with the staff, a fight broke out between two dogs. Others joined in because there was no where to go. One staff in the room for about 20-25 large dogs. No wonder. There is simply not enough room for the number and size of dogs in that space. I would never leave my dog there.

I called around to about 8 different dog walkers and I thought the others were either over priced or they didn't return calls right away or other red flags. Molly has been nothing but my dog's favorite thing since day 1! She leaves me notes telling me if my pooch went to the bathroom, what they did, etc. Molly had to come by my new place to get keys and it was the first time in about a year that I saw them together. OMG- my dog l-o-v-e-s her. It was fun to see the bond that they now have after her visiting him about one time per week over a year. Metro Pets and More is highly recommended- very reliable, loving towards pets and reasonably priced.

The personal notes she leaves about how our dog did that day on the provided notepad is a nice touch. The flexibility to be able to cancel days via text or email with short notice because I'll be working from home, etc is also another bonus. Metro Pets was the only service we could find that would visit our house in the Camden area of North Minneapolis, so props to them for that. The only thing I wish they did different was how payments are made. You have to leave a week's worth of money out at your home at beginning of the week. If you don't pay in cash you get charged a 7.7% tax rate at end of the quarter. At $15/day or $900 every 3 months that comes to $70 in tax. We're leaving cash out right now, but it's inconvenient to remember to run to the ATM every Sunday night and remember to leave the envelope out.

However after a while Anna (the owner) started to lack the support and empathy that I needed. I have a disability and underlying health problems. I let Anna know from the beginning of my employment of my health problems and she was completely accepting. As months went on she became harder to work for. She pushed too hard to make me go into a clients house that had Covid knowing about my underlying health problem. I had been a very hardworking employee, even going so far as to cover for other employees, working outside my territory, and cat sitting (when that wasn't in my job description). I was so disappointed in Anna that I felt the need to quit for my own health. I feel as though Anna thinks you need to dedicate your life to a part-time job, with no benefits, and not enough pay for the amount of driving you do. To the clients out there, the walkers might be amazing but they are doing their job under extreme pressure from the owner. To new applicants, think hard before applying to this job.
