RIDGES & PAWS LLC

Our Mission

We know leaving part of your family behind is very stressful.  Our goal is to remove some of the anxiety involved, so you can enjoy your time away and be as productive as possible. Your pets become part of our pack for a short time, are well cared for and loved on, and are calm and ready when you return. Their social and mental needs are met along with their physical needs; socializing with other dogs, play, walks...keep your pet happy and healthy in your absence. We regularly provide service for military/fire/medical/personnel, workers, patients attending treatments, clients with emergencies/illness/deaths, business travelers, as well as recreational travelers. This is not our hobby or pastime, it is our service. We take this reliability very seriously, and in over a decade, operating 24/7/365, we have always provided reliable and consistent care for our clients.

We keep our new client numbers low and accommodate returning clients, as needed. In this way, our dynamic pack can change daily, but is made up of established guests who know us, our routines & procedures.

We have been caring for animals of all kinds for as long as we can remember, and professionally since 2009. We began RIDGES & PAWS as a service to provide for the times when you could not care for your pets. Having our own lifelong pets, we understand how difficult it is to find someone who will care for your family members as well as you would like. Your pets become an immediate part of our family! We have Rhodesian Ridgebacks, African Lion Hounds, whom we use to welcome, to evaluate and to socialize other dogs, and 3 cats, the latest in a series of what we lovingly call "failed rescues" - they never left. We have given up on gardening for the time being ;). We would love to get to know your family, and to welcome your pets into ours.


We have experience caring for all forms of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, geckos, lizards, goats, horses, cows, hamsters, guinea pigs, pigs, etc.
