Dog Walking Ridgestone No 9

About: Welcome!We're a quick pitstop from the airport :) 1. Our credentials: - My husband and I are lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from tiny Chihuahuas to giant German Shepherds, Huskies, and everything in between. - Over the years, we have fostered and adopted many dogs, including bottle babies, seniors, puppies, and adults, which means we are comfortable with just about any situation that comes our way. - Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, or relax in the shade. - We currently share our home with 2 sweet, calm husky blends and a foster dog, so your pup will always have friendly company if they want it. Socialization with our pack is completely optional, and we always follow your lead. Whether your dog loves being around other pups or prefers a quieter, more independent stay, we will tailor everything to fit them. - We stick to your feeding schedules, administer medications as needed, and keep you in the loop with regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your baby is in good hands. - We are extremely responsive, and you will almost always hear back from us within an hour. 2. Meet and Greet: We highly encourage it - Before your first booking, we love to set up a free meet and greet! It gives us a chance to get to know your pup, learn their routine and specific needs, talk through expectations, and make sure we are the right fit for each other because a great match matters to us just as much as it does to you. 3. Short Notice request availability: - As pet parents ourselves, we understand that life happens, trips get extended, work runs late, and plans change without warning. We are flexible, judgment-free, and are happy to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever we can. We cannot wait to meet your pup! 4. Gallery: Our dogs insisted we show you their home, so feel free to browse our photo gallery and never hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! Pet care is a natural part of our daily life and we are available for boarding,drop-in visits and dog walking services all week long, including holidays, so there is never a bad time to reach out. For dog walking, we are available every day after 5 PM. We respond to messages quickly and almost always instantly, so feel free to reach out anytime with questions or last-minute requests. We are happy to help however we can! We treat every pet in our care like family. Our home has a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, or just relax. We always supervise interactions between dogs and respect each pet's personality, whether they love being around other pups or prefer their own space. Every dog gets their own comfortable, private area in our home. We follow your routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and exercise needs, so your dog feels as settled and stress-free as possible. We also keep all spaces clean and tidy throughout their stay. For drop-in visits and walks, we treat your home with the same care and respect, sticking to your instructions and keeping everything familiar and safe for your pet. We are responsive, communicative, and always happy to send photos and updates throughout the day so you can feel connected and at ease while you are away.

“Demetria was prompt and handled our 1yo pittie boy very well. He is fairly new to walking outside the house and she reported he was very good and she was attentive to what could be a distraction for a dog new to getting out and handled him perfectly. Would recommend and use again! Thank you!”

Tammy T.

“Tim is timely and when he arrives he quickly leashes and starts walks. The dogs are excited to see him and they are eager to head out the door. They do the loop in the neighborhood and each dog gets one on one for the walk”

“Genniver is EXCELLENT AND A LIFESAVER! She was so accommodating with my schedule, and did an incredible job keeping me up-to-date with my fur baby. Her communication was really good, and I felt at ease while she walked my dog. Would recommend her 1000x. Thanks so much!!!”

Gabriel M.

“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: 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.

“Justice responded quickly and kept me updated about his time with Polo. He was patient and Polo seemed to enjoy his wa;l”

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.

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.

“An amazing experience! She took care of my pup and my cats at home! I can’t thank her enough for the amazing service person provided especially on such short notice! Thank you again!”

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.

“Super communicative and truly takes the time to ensure the little details to make sure your baby has the best experience! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
