What do your pets do all day? By having a daily visit from Blair’s Ruff House, the team can tell you the ins and outs of what your animal does during their version of a staycation.
Blair’s Ruff House is a mobile pet-sitting service with 13 employees serving over five hundred families in the Northlake, Argyle, Lantana and Bartonville areas.
“We go to people’s homes to care for their pets while they’re away. We can tailor our services to their needs, so we can come by daily, weekly, or as many times as needed,” owner Blair Munger said.
Blair’s Ruff House began seven years ago when Munger decided to return to work once her son was in school full-time. While she could have gone in any direction, she decided that pet sitting would best suit her skills and address the needs of her community.
The business started by catering to typical household pets such as dogs, cats and gerbils. Today, Munger and her team can care for a wider variety of animals, including reptiles, birds, horses and donkeys.
Munger explained that most people don’t know that businesses like hers exist. Farmers, for example, rarely go on vacation because they have no one who can watch their animals. Through Munger and her team, they are able to take those getaways knowing that their animals are being fed, pens are being cleaned, and they are safely locked away at night.
“People began to learn of us and started asking if we could look after farm animals,” Munger says. “So, we spent just as much time on farms as we did in homes to care for all kinds of animals.”
However, Blair’s Ruff House doesn’t cater just to livestock.
“Anyone who has to work full-time or be away from their home can use us,” Munger said about those who need pet-sitting services.
One perk that Blair’s Ruff House offers is the team even provides real-time updates for anyone who requires them, giving pet owners peace of mind that their companions are doing well.
“Pets look to us as a companion and give us a sense of purpose,” she said, explaining why it’s important to make sure pets are thoughtfully cared for.
