Father & Son, Double The Love!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Ryan, and I would be sitting your furry friend(s). I have my 11 year old son, Tyler, that would be helping me out and be there half the time. He has been helping me pet sit for a few years now. We have had many animals from lizards, hamsters, dogs and cats to name a few. I do this full time so I don’t have any other obligations and can spend all my time with your furry friends. I’ve taken care of many animals and I use to run a Doggy Daycare through Rover for years. I also have experience with rescue dogs/cats as I’ve had some of my own so I know how to make them feel safe and secure. I also know how to give insulin to your diabetic furry friends and any other medication (injection or not) they may need. I’ve dealt with many senior animals and ones that are in need of special training or continuing any training needs they may have. I can also take care of your home by doing some extra things like cutting the grass, leaves, shovelling snow and of course cleaning of your home. I make sure it’s cleaner than when I arrived. I try to go above and beyond at every home I’m staying at. You get a house sitter, pet sitter and house cleaner all-in-one. I want to make sure that when you come home you have nothing to worry about. I will NOT accept clients with bugs (bedbugs or cockroaches). Please find another sitter if you have them. Thanks and have a great day! 🐶

Ryan was awesome! He made sure to communicate clearly and quickly when scheduling our overnight sitting. He was calm and gentle with the dogs and sent lots of cute photos so we knew they were behaving well and having fun. Ryan even did some cleaning which was such a nice surprise! We would 100% have Ryan back again!

Ryan was wonderful! We got frequent updates and pictures on our fur baby.:) This was our first time leaving Maggie with someone other then family or a friend and we will not hesitate to use Ryan again! Thank you Ryan for taking such good care of Maggie and our home!

I recommend Ryan all the time to my friends and family. He did a terrific job with our 3 fur babies this past week. His communication was excellent and we received multiple pictures and updates throughout his stay with them. We really enjoyed this as we didn’t get this from our last sitter. He made sure our place was spotless (a big bonus) from the bathrooms to our living room. It was so nice to come home to that. Our fur babies were well taken care of and spoiled having someone so great to take care of them. Thanks again Ryan for the last minute booking. You saved us!

We booked Ryan for a week with our zoo of animals, 4 large dogs and 2 cats, and he was awesome! 2 of our dogs are on special diets and he did a great job at making sure they got their medications. We have had a few other sitters and never expected how much he went above and beyond. Ryan and his son cut our lawns and cleaned up the outside of our house after a bad storm had made a mess all over. Our place was so tidy when we got home. They vacuumed up all the hair from our animals and even washed the bedroom sheets before we got home. We can’t wait to book Ryan and his son again!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and Respect are my top priorities. I make them feel safe and I build trust with them by adapting to your style of parenting skills. I am happy to do specific training with them. You can trust that I'll take care of your pet and your home while you're away and leave the space untouched during pick up and drop off or during sits I make sure the place is cleaner than when I first came.

Information Ryan T. would like to know about your pet

- Any special considerations for walking (speed, etc.)? - Any medical issues or medications I should be aware of? - Any issues with other animals (other dogs, Cats, Squirrels )? - Any specific scenarios that cause anxiety or resistance? - Which commands you may use often?

A typical day

Exercising and cognitive engagement are a huge part of dogs who come under my care. I spend time getting to know the dogs and keeping them occupied with toys or chew sticks so they don't get bored in case of house sitting and on walks I love playing fetch, as well as teaching dogs so that we form a bond of trust and love. I can adjust to whatever training the dog is currently or has had so that they continue to strive.
