Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet, my priority 🐾
I grew up in a home in South Edmonton that has always had a family dog and cat. When I was old enough I loved taking our dog Zoe then Ginger for daily walks. My wife and I have always had a dog and cats as well, first Sophie and now Darla, a French Bulldog who is almost 6 years old. Unfortunately Darla required emergency back surgery for IVDD, and needed full time care post surgery. Not being able to walk, I learned how to help with the rehabilitation of her back and had to care for her full time until she could walk again. Today she is fully healthy and our long walks are back without any lingering issues! After that I was asked to care for a family members dog doing twice daily walks with a soft coated Wheaton Terrier, and later added large male Standard Poodle who is quite excitable to the daily walks for several months.

Safety, trust & environment
I am fully certified in Pet First Aid and Pet Sitting, and enrolled in or soon to be completing 6 courses on professional leash training, behavioural methodology and related courses with the goal of being the a dog care professional. I walk rain, snow, sleet or shine and try my best to fit your busy schedule and will discuss what conditions you are comfortable your family dog is comfortable in walking. Of course in extreme cold walks can be dangerous for furry feet so I do not walk when it is below - 25C. I will be happy to dress your dog in paw socks, sweaters and body harness leashes provided before our walks. I own my house with a fully fenced yard and a large non-slip deck in the backyard. Our entire basement is being professionally finished to be a large cozy doggy play and sleep area and of course my dog Darla will love to play with all her new friends! Each walk I do will be approximately 1 hour from the time of arrival to the time of departure.
Ratings and reviews
Ryan has walked my wheaten terrier and standard poodle. He was on time and my dogs really enjoyed walking with him. Ryan walked 2 times a day for me for 3 weeks. My poodle is quite responsive to other big dogs Ryan kept him a safe distance from any big dogs.
Ryan has been providing dog care for us for a long time, including dog sitting and walking, as I cannot walk the dog with my bad knee when my wife is out of town. He is always on time, rain or shine, and our dog loves walking with him. He is very courteous and cares for our dog as if it were his own. I would highly recommend Ryan for any walking or sitting services.

Schedule
I enjoyed the full time dog care and walking immensely and decided since I suffered a back injury at work that I would make personal pet care a career. We are currently finishing our basement with the intent of adding full time pet sitting services in our home. Now I am a Full Time Doggy Dad and have always had a huge heart for animals and would treat your furry family member like my own.
