Dog Walking Ridgestone

About: Animals have been a big part of my life for over 20 years. I currently have two dogs that I raised from puppies, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that great pet care requires. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I currently work as a freelance software developer, so I have a flexible schedule with open availability for pet care. This gives me the ability to provide reliable, consistent care and be available for walks, drop-ins, and other pet care needs throughout the week. During walks and drop-ins, I prioritize safety by using secure leashing practices, monitoring the environment, and making sure pets have fresh water and plenty of attention. I also provide regular updates with photos so owners know their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to make each visit stress-free and enjoyable while treating every pet like my own.

About: Ive grown up caring for dogs since I was a kid. 8 years ago I had the pleasure of becoming a dog mom to a German Shepherd. I will often also take care of my brothers herding dog at the same time. I am used to caring for two large dogs at the same time including walking them twice a day. I often dog sit for family and friends over the last 6 years, including dogs and cats. My own GSD struggles with separation anxiety and social anxiety so I have become really good over the years of prioritizing walk times that will ease his stress. I am happy to accommodate to any time a fur baby may need their walk times adjusted to reduce other animal interaction. My GSD is around 100lbs and often gets excited, so I am more than able to handle any size dog that may get excited for anything even squirrels! I am a full time grad student but around that schedule I have time most mornings and evenings to walk and play with all animals. I am open to animal sitting most nights depending on my exams for that week. I can easily crate dogs due to experience crating my own dogs. I am comfortable feeding all diets to any animals, giving baths, walks, etc.

“Thank you. It would not let me leave the total I wanted to for 3-9 to 3-27. I will give you cash on Thursday.”

About: With me your pet will be safe, because I take care of them like my children, I give them all the love in the world because I have great patience with them, I treat them like my own family members and my experience in caring for pets has helped me provide all kinds of quality care; I have also learned to medicate them both orally and intramuscularly, I have dealt with disabled pets who must be given the love and patience with which they are treated; In short, I assure you that with me your pet will be another son for me. I take care of pets not only as a job, but also as entertainment, a personal enjoyment because taking care of pets is more than a job, it is a great enjoyment for me. I take care of pets in my clients' homes and other times on walks in the parks, I respect the privacy of my clients, their tastes and preferences and when I am in the parks I take equal care of the privacy of my clients' pets and that of the others that I may meet on the walk.

“My bullmastiff, Gus, loves Tim!! I had to start going back into the office 3 days a week, and I was concerned Gus being alone and in his crate for so long. Tim started walking him on those days and I can see a huge I’ increase in Gus’ happiness. Someone rang the doorbell the other day and Gus got so excited!! Normally he ignores the doorbell. But he was looking for Tim. This makes me so happy to see Gus so happy. Thanks Tim for doing such a great job!!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life- dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, rats, hedgehogs, etc. Anyone who knows me knows I have such a big heart for animals and am truly amazed by them. I am currently in school to get my degree in biology to use to work at the San Antonio Zoo in animal conservation. I am trusted by all friends, family and coworkers to pet sit- I even have experience in administering medication to pets and experience in caring for senior animals. I believe all animals deserve love and respect no matter their size, and I promise to take care of your pet like my own. I currently work as a manager at a coffee shop, so I don’t mind getting up early or staying up late to take care of your pet. I am not on a fixed schedule, so week by week it may change but I will always have time to care for your pet. I am a very aware person, and I know how much pets are part of the family. I will ensure that no animal gets out and that their routine is accounted for at all times. I believe in making sure animals are well taken care of- physically and emotionally.

“Pat was very kind to Romy, she always arrived on time and responded to my messages, she sent me photos on each walk, I will definitely book with her again.”
