Pet care experience

Empathetic pet sitter w/ 20+ yrs xp

Hi, my name is Ryan and I am a PhD student at UMich. I’m looking to support my studies by doing what I know best beyond art history, taking care of pets! I have had pets all my life (dogs, cats, and rabbits) and know no other life than one with furry friends in it. Being the primary caretaker of my own dog, I know the ins and outs of pet care. My furry family members have taught me about compassion, loyalty, and fun and I hope to be able to serve you and your pets with those same traits. My work schedule is very flexible and I am available most days of the weeks at various times. Reach out today, I’d love to work with you and your best friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a big unfenced backyard with a long hook for my own dog to go outside and get plenty of fresh air. I also have a small deck with some astroturf that my own dog loves to sun bathe on. My house has very few stairs and is suitable for smaller and older pets who have mobility issues. I keep all cleaning supplies and potentially hazardous foods stowed away.

Ryan was great. My very reactive dog usually takes a few visits to be comfortable, but Ryan has experience with reactive dogs and didn't seem phased by her initial reaction. He did great with her.

Ryan was great with my dog. He quickly caught on to my dogs quirks and made sure he got some exercise. Appreciate his friendliness and love of animals.
