Dog Walking Thompson Ridge

About: I have more than 10 years of experience volunteering for animal shelters and working with dogs! I’ve worked as a kennel assistant and bather/groomer with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and breeds, including puppies, seniors and disabled dogs. I also have experience in overnight pet sitting as well as drop-ins, caring for cats and dogs alike of relatives and family friends. Anyone who knows me, knows I light up the moment I see a dog, and I love the connection I quickly build with almost every animal I meet. I strive for meticulous attention to detail and upmost care. As a highly sensitive person, I am very attuned to how your pet is feeling and aim to make them feel comfortable and happy. I’d love to become your pet’s new friend! I am available most weekdays; I also run my own business so my schedule is flexible. Weekends are tricky but weekend evenings can be a possibility, if needed! Visiting clients homes, I am happy to offer feedings and/or medications, tidy any pet-related messes, and go on potty walks local to the client’s location. Always included: scritches, playtime and treats!

“Kacie is caring, sweet, professional, and a bit of a dog whisperer! I have a particularly difficult rescue dog with some serious anxiety issues, and Kacie manages her gracefully, catering to her special needs and always going the step beyond to spend some time with her after a walk and make sure she's got fresh water and such. I don't trust most people with my dog because she can be so difficult, but when I first met Kacie it was clear that she understood and had an immediate connection. I'll be having Kacie back many times, I'm sure.”

I have many flexible scheduling options for short walks or check-ins while you're away at work, or long terms pet care while you're away on vacation.

That's why I take the time to get to know each pet I care for in my client's home, so I can provide them with the best possible care. When I arrive at your home, I will first greet your pet and provide them with food and water, as well as any medications or supplements they require. I will also spend time playing with your pet, giving them plenty of attention and affection. During my visit, I will take your dog for a walk, giving them the exercise and fresh air they need to stay healthy and happy. If you have a cat, I will spend time playing with them and keeping their litter box clean. I will also make sure your home is safe and secure, checking that all doors and windows are locked and that your pet has access to any areas they need. Throughout my visit, I will keep you informed of your pet's well-being, sending you updates and photos so you can see how your furry friend is doing. Above all, I will treat your pet with the same care and attention that I would give to my own pets, ensuring they feel loved and well-cared for while you're away.

“Thank you for the summary! I am glad the kids had fun. I should have warned you that King loves to sit on your lap and lick your face. Thank you for checking their water level. The tank twists off but it's hard to refill if there is water in it.”

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and I had helped with the puppy stage for two dogs in the last 5 years. My family got a German Shepherd puppy 5 years ago and then we decided he needed a friend so I helped with a new puppy who’s a Beagle just this past fall. I also have had recent jobs where responsibility was a necessity as I was a para educator with special needs kids over the summer. I’m currently a college student so my weekdays are pretty busy with classes and trying to keep up with school work but I could be free on the weekends depending. At home I help with feeding my dogs, one of my dogs has epilepsy so I’m familiar with giving medications, I also help to walk them and love to play with them to help them get their energy out. I have also helped friends and siblings with watching their pets when needed.

About: I’ve had and cared for my own dogs for the past 6 years and have loved dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around dogs taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available most days, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your routine and make sure your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and stays on schedule while you’re away. Communication is important to me, and I’ll do my best to be available whenever you need dependable pet care. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always come first. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel relaxed and secure. I’ll follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any instructions carefully while giving them attention, patience, and lots of care. I treat every pet like I would my own and aim to create a calm, safe, and positive environment.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I have volunteered countless hours in a shelter and have lived with dogs for the last 10 years. I have experience with both pure breed and rescues. I am an active person so your dog will always have someone to play with! I currently work nights so late night or early morning visits are never an issue! I love to stay active and four legged friends the attention they deserve, so if you want your animal to not only be acted for but loved then please reach out to me. Depending on the services provided and your dogs actively level I would love to take them for a long walk or chase each other in the backyard. I am currently a nursing student so I enjoy having an outlet of pet therapy to distract from the stress of school work.

“Linda was extremely accommodating and took great care of Howie. Would recommend!”

About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.

About: Hello! Animals have always held a special place in my heart since I'm a little girl - yes, I was the "Mom, can we keep him?" girl at 8 yrs old. Lol. Ive been working as a veterinary technician for the last 11 years, and at a hospice rescue for dogs before that. I consider myself blessed to be able to do what I love every day. That being said, I specialize in senior and special needs animals. Therefore, if your baby needs medication, insulin injections, subcutaneous fluids etc, I am able to do so. I am also fear-free certified, and am proud to say that many dogs that were once terrified of the vet, have made great improvement with these techniques over time! I have 2 Chihuahuas, Enzo and Lola. They're my world. My animal loving fiance also helps me run this business and would moat likely be doing mid-day visits as he works from home. Complimentary meet and greet prior to finalizing a schedule- we want you and your pets to feel at ease! We very much look forward to meeting you and your fur-kids!! Staying in your home, your instructions will be followed and your "babies" and home will be treated with the utmost respect and care! My fiancé and business co-owner Bill works from home so has flexibility during the day (within reason) and I work part-time. We work as a team to provide exceptional, compassionate gold-standard care to your fur-babies. They receive a lot of 1 on 1 attention and love! We have a large fenced-in yard for safe and supervised play time. All of our boarding pups get an airtag placed on their collars as well for extra safety precaution. Your pets have free reign of our home and are even welcome to sleep with us!

Pups are off if their routine is off so if you have a specific schedule or way of doing things I can assure you I will stick to the game plan.
