Availability

Since I don’t have pets of my own, more of my day can be dedicated to yours. Whether dog or cat, my apartment offers space for both to roam and be outside. I also regularly walk on the Lady Bird trail located just steps from my home which allows me to be very active and your pet to do the same. I work in West Lake 3 days a week but am able to come home freely for lunch. The other 5 days of the week I am either working or hanging around my home, plenty of time to be dedicated to caring for your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer not to crate animals while I am away if they don’t need to be. I want your pet to feel comfortable and safe in my home while also feeling like on vacation, with the trail and dog park nearby. I am a huge animal lover so of course they are invited on the furniture and in my bed, however will respect your rules if they differ. Your pet will be treated as if it were mine because all of my love and time will be solely dedicated to it when I am home. You can feel safe knowing your dog or cat won’t have to be forced to get along with another while at home, but also having the ability to play with other dogs/cats on the trail and in the dog park.

Information Ryan B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet needs any special accommodations when it comes to allergies, medicine, or behavior. I want them to feel at home and you to be confident that they will be well taken care of!

A typical day

I love to be active with your pets, both physically and mentally! Anything from going on walks/runs on the trail, to getting pup cups at the local coffee shop, and all the smells and sniffs along the way. If we aren’t inside, I’m constantly playing fetch or doing tricks with your pet to keep them stimulated and happy!

Two legged “Golden Retriever”

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs and cats since birth and have lived with a dog all but 5 years of my life. Although I personally don’t have a furry friend, all of my friends do and often rely on me to provide their dog a fun vacation and safe stay while they are away. Anything from taking care of sick or older dogs to training puppies, I’ve been fortunate to watch a lot of dogs in my life and have earned their trust through care and treating them like family.

Very communicative. Our schnauzer took to him very quickly. Great match.

Ryan was the absolute BEST with Coal! Coal was living his best life! Going on runs and walks and getting pup cups and making new friends! He sent so many updates with photos and vids and I’m so grateful for that! I will def be using him again for Coal!

Ryan is hands down the best dog sitter we've ever had — my dog took to him immediately, which says everything. He's incredibly reliable, always on time, and keeps me updated with photos and check-ins throughout the day. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, and it shows in how calm and happy our dog is when I pick her up.

Ryan has grown up with dogs and cats and bonds with them. He loves them and they gravitate towards him also. Ryan is responsible with pets and treats them like his own.
