Pet care experience

Flexible sitter that loves all pets

Hey, I’m Ridge. I’ve been around animals my entire life and treat every pet like they’re my own. I have 15+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, starting with my own Schnauzer growing up and continuing through years of helping family, friends, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including pet sitting, dog walking, and daily care routines. In addition to dogs, I’ve also cared for cats, fish, and reptiles, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and their specific needs. Right now, I help care for three family dogs, along with assisting friends and family whenever they need reliable pet care. I enjoy staying active with pets—whether that’s going to the dog park, playing, walking, or just spending quality time making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently a college student, but I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits on both weekdays and weekends.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care by coming directly to your home, where your pets feel safest and most comfortable in their familiar environment. This helps reduce stress and keeps their daily routine consistent while you’re away. I prioritize creating a calm, secure atmosphere by following your pet’s normal feeding, walking, and care schedule as closely as possible. I also make sure your home is respected and kept clean and organized during my visits or overnight stays. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pets by providing reliable, attentive care so you can feel confident knowing everything is being handled responsibly while you’re away.

We booked a drop-in visit with Ridge while looking for a sitter for Coco, and after meeting him, we knew we didn't need to look any further. Ridge was attentive, thoughtful, and took the time to listen to all of Coco's needs and quirks. Coco is a very shy dog, and he showed the patience, empathy, and understanding needed to help her feel comfortable. He was calm, professional, and genuinely interested in getting to know her. Finding someone you can trust with your dog is not easy, especially when you have a nervous rescue, but Ridge gave us complete confidence that Coco would be in great hands. We are very happy to have found someone we can trust with our baby girl while we're away and would highly recommend him.
