Dog Walking Ridgestone No 9

About: Going on vacation, need a getaway, or just take a break? Trustworthy and reliable house and pet sitter can help. Need a companion to supervise your kids, pets, and elderly family? Caring for your loved ones at home, while they do their normal routine and activities, to be cozy and comfortable. I love being around people, kids, and pets doing activities, conversing, or just quietly keeping them company, if preferred. My experience includes property management, substituting in public schools, volunteer at animal shelters and rescues, helped with community cats, and also watch my own critters along with friends and family. I do have a part-time property management career during the day but can schedule you early mornings and late afternoon evenings, as well as weekends, and holidays. Visits and tasks are personalized with your instructions, to meet your needs. Let me know if I can assist you with anything and get some spare time on your hands to do more!

“Love having them come they take such good care of my girl”

“Thank you so much that means the world. She’s a little out of routine as we just got back from travel and unexpectedly needed help. I SO much appreciate the care!”

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.

“Mandy is great. Quick to respond and provides detailed follow-up on each visit. We feel great knowing he is getting out and being loved. Highly recommended!”

“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: 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.

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.

“Brittney was so patient with me and Willie working through the communications of a first meet and walk! She sent a ton of pictures, all of which Willie looked THRILLED to be with her! So so grateful!”

“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: 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.

“Pamela was great! I had to go out of town within a couple days and she was able to take care of my dog and was super flexible with everything! Couldn’t have asked for a better care taker!”

About: I've cared for all sorts of animals from dogs, cats, rabbits, & chickens throughout my life. I also have experience with multiple pets at once! I'm available anytime on weekends, after 12pm on Mondays & Wednesdays, before 12pm and after 3pm on Tuesdays & Thursdays, and anytime after 11am on Fridays. Your pet always comes first! Whether they have very specific needs, diets, or just want to play, your pet's wants and needs are my priority.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a kid. I grew up with big dogs- Rottweilers, blue heelers and pit bulls. Over the 2022 summer, I potty trained 2 Great Dane puppies, I also taught them how to sit, stay, and overall manners. I love animals and truly enjoy having them around. I do online college. I prefer to do payments privately due to Rover taking 20% of profits. WHEN PAYING PRIVATELY: it’s 30 per night, additional dogs it’s $18 (per dog), For cats it’s $10 per night, each cat is additional $7 dollars. (I have a photos of the fees rover takes out on my gallery) I care for my own dogs, she is a 6 years old American stafforshire terrier. I feed her, take her to the dog park, walk her, bathe her, and overall care for her. I make sure the dogs I’m caring for are let out when needed, I play with them as much as I can, and I feed them when they are scheduled to be fed. I love playing with dogs so I’d play with them and take them out on walks.

“Always goes above and beyond to make sure he can fit their schedule with mine. Very much appreciate Matthew’s help. Reliable is an understatement.”

“Christiana is so fun! My dog is so excited to see her and is literally bursting with excitement when she knows their walk is coming up. 10 outta 10”

About: I am a retired Navy man currently working nights at post office. I have had dogs my entire life. My family and I volunteer with the Diamond Dachshund rescue of Texas. I am willing to work with special needs, as well as medication administration if needed. I enjoy any breeds, size or temperament. I can do walks, runs or just chilling at home. I am willing to do whatever it takes to make your pet comfortable while you are away. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days. I am willing to work with the schedule your pets require to make them happy. I currently have 3 doxies and a lab. My family fosters for two different rescues so the pets in my house may change from time to time.
