It is my pleasure to recommend Ryan for petsitting, who I experienced provide exceptional care to three dogs since 2005. The first, a husky mix required a lot of attention and activity. Ryan took the pup on excursions to the park, and ensured that the rambunctious pup received the guidance and care she needed. He also supervised safe meetings between this dog, who prefers the company of non-canines, and other dogs. The second dog Ryan watched was an elderly poodle with myriad health problems. She had a wonderful temperament, but has had extreme care-needs. Ryan was wonderfully patient and loving with this dog. But he was also a great help in training as he enforced house rules and followed through on training strategies that owners had learned. He has had to manage more than a few challenging situations, particularly with the old dog, but he has always risen to the occasion. In addition, Ryan is extremely dependable. Since he began assisting us with our dogs, she has never called to say that she had to cancel. I recommend Ryan highly to you as a caregiver for your pets. He has been a great help to owners, allowing us to enjoy our dogs, even with the demands of a busy life!
