Pet Sitting Ridgestone No 9

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, including managing multiple dogs in my own home. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, sizes, and needs—including large and giant breeds. Dog Preferences & Handling Notes: For safety and physical health reasons, I am not able to accommodate: heavy leash pullers, highly dog-reactive dogs, dogs with a history of lunging/dragging handlers, or multiple large high-energy dogs requiring significant physical restraint. I’m best matched with: leash-trained dogs, senior dogs, lower-to-moderate energy dogs, gentle giant breeds, and dogs with solid walking manners. This helps ensure a safe and positive experience for both your pets and me. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and routines to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog as if they were my own. I understand the importance of calm, confident handling. I take a thoughtful, no-drama approach to pet care—dogs tend to settle quickly in my environment. I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. I keep my schedule intentionally manageable so I can be reliable, on time, and fully present for each visit. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking in your home environment, where your dog is most comfortable and secure. I do not offer boarding in my home. I’ve found that dogs do best when they can stay in their own space with their familiar routine, scents, and surroundings. For safety, I only accept dogs that are well-managed, non-aggressive, and manageable on leash. I’m not a good fit for dogs with a history of biting, high reactivity, or uncontrolled behavior. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive. I focus on creating a safe, low-stress experience for each dog while maintaining clear communication with owners. Attention to detail when it comes to pet care is paramount.

“Skylar is incredibly accommodating and clearly a true pet lover. I felt very comfortable and trusting, leaving my dogs in her care. I will definitely book with her again!”

Cynthia E.

“She took very good care of our fur babies. She sends pictures and updates of what’s being done. Very punctual and friendly. I highly recommend using her.”

Tawny S.

“Pat is wonderful! She always takes such great care of our FUR-BABIES. Even our socially awkward Dog responds well to her. She's reliable and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Thank you, Pat for being awesome!”

Robbin P.

“Quick to respond, available and prompt. Recommend even though it’ll likely mean I won’t have her in the future due to everyone asking for her.”

George P.

“We are so grateful we found Mikelah! We were nervous about leaving our dog Sophie with anyone besides family or friends, but she made the entire experience so comfortable and stress-free. She was beyond amazing with our pets, very communicative, punctual, and thoughtful throughout every visit. Her photo updates were honestly the best and gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell she cares about the animals she watches. We will absolutely be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

Yulisa W.

“Tim took great care of our Moo for a week while we were on vacation. He took the care to come out several times ahead of booking to make sure she was familiar with him since she can be a bit reactive. She warmed up to him and has a great week!”

“Pamela is always amazing and super kind. Very thankful to have crossed paths! She's always good to our baby and takes care of him with love ❤️”

Bianca L.

“Mandy was a great Rover for our pets! She was an excellent communicator before/during/after her visits. She was flexible on the meet/greet times, and was very accommodating when our plans had to be adjusted before the first visit. Pleasant and responsive to the adults, and kind and loving to the pups - what could be better?”

Donna M.

“Destanie was amazing! She came over a couple times to let my pup out while I’m at work and took such great care of him. I definitely would love to continue booking with her in the future!”

Camille W.

“Courtney was very reliable and did exactly what I asked seemed to get along great with Cole. She came farther distance than usual so I really appreciate her help. Would definitely reach out again.”

Traci W.

“Meeting with Bailey and Minnie Pearl went off without a hitch. She was so excited to meet Bailey and to share her favorite toys. As for me, it was instant trust, and I couldn’t be happier with Bailey. They played together and even took a brief walk while still learning the leash. Bailey was sweet and caring and has a positive energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend her for your pet!”

Kimberly C.

“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

Breanne A.

“Brittney is amazing. She took such great care of my blind and deaf 17 year old chihuahua. I know there were likely a lot of accidents to clean up. She also gently guided her around my yard for additional potty breaks and some fresh air. I didn't have to stress at all on my vacation because twice a day I could look forward to reading about her visit and getting pictures of my fur babies. To my great surprise, she even befriended my cat, who is usually very scared of people and goes into hiding when someone new is over. But she let Brittney pet her and visit with her too! Thank you so much, I will definitely contact Brittney for my pet sitting needs in the future.”

Chelsy G.

“Ben was absolutely fantastic. I have used him since this stay and am so happy to have found him. My dogs get so excited when he visits. He is the best!!!!”

Linnette S.

“Jenna was wonderful. My cats were very happy to have her come check on them. She followed all the directions I laid out and sent me lots of pictures. She was very communicative and quick to respond. I would book her again! :)”

Melinda K.

“Matt was awesome! He was super communicative about how our pets were doing and was able to come at the last minute when our previously scheduled sitter had an emergency.”

Spencer T.

“Addison did an amazing job of caring for Sea Biscuit while I was out of town!! I was super anxious about leaving Biscuit while I went on vacation, but Addison understood what my cat needed during her visits with ease, earned Biscuit’s trust like it was nothing, and kept me informed of how she was doing so that I could enjoy my vacation without stressing. My cat was in good hands, and I’m so thankful for Addison’s good work!”

Cat P.

“Justice is always great with Gizmo and was sure to send me plenty of photos of him during his visit. Gizmo is partial to men and he definitely enjoys Justice's company. Justice makes my nervous boy feel at ease when I am out of town. He is definitely one of the best sitters and one of the few men in my area offering pet sitting services. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great sitter! ”

About: For years I have dog sat for family, friends and coworkers. I just love pets, I’m kind of crazy about them. I’m looking to expand my doggie adventures with nice walks and plenty of exercise. I’m also available for drop ins and overnight stays. I work near the airport, so I also pet sit in the Stone Oak/Hollywood Park area. I’m currently working full time for an engineering firm, Monday through Friday. I’m available Saturdays and Sundays pretty much all day. I’ll be available a few days during the week, but after 5 pm and maybe during lunch (depending on distance). I won’t be offering boarding services, but I do have three pets. My dog is 7, two cats are 9 and 5. My dog, Sadie Girl, loves taking walks and people watching. So, I will definitely care for your pets as if they were mine.
