In the summer most of my days are wide open. I like to stay busy. I have a passion for being outside, fitness, and caring for pets. Why not blend them all! During the school year I do work from 7-3:30 during the week. I am free all day on the weekends.

Information Ryan C. would like to know about your pet

Name and age, personality, breed, and any dietary restrictions. It is helpful to know their daily routines with eating, sleeping, and walking. It is good to know what games they like to play and if there is anything that makes them nervous.

A typical day

When watching pets, fun activities depend on the type of pet, their energy level, and their personality. We could go for a walk, play tug of war, play with toys, or just hang out. And definitely throw in some belly rubs :)

Pet care experience

I don’t just “watch” pets—I spend quality time with them. I have the ability to match their energy. I am up for a casual walk, a nice jog, belly rubs, or a friendly game of catch. I have been a math 🧮teacher at Ridley High school for the past 18 years. I am responsible, dependable, caring, and reliable. When boarding at my house I will walk your pet in the morning, late afternoon, and evening. I have a nice loop around the neighborhood. Your pet will get extra care because my daughter loves pets and will give them all the attention and love ❤️.

Ryan was exceptional! Cooper got multiple walks a day and we got tons of updates and pictures. We will not hesitate to use Ryan again!

Ryan is the real deal - he’s got a great setup and took awesome care of our girl for a long weekend. She got in a nice balance of walks, fetch, tug, and snuggles, with regular photo and video updates. If you’re looking for a someone to trust with your pup, look no further!

Ryan was very attentive to Augie’s needs, which is especially important for a senior dog. Augie received excellent care (and had a great time) and he will be back.

From a Husky Owner: Finding the right dog sitter is crucial for a Husky owner. Huskies are known for their high energy, need for consistent training, and strong prey drive. Therefore, Ryan was highly appreciated! He understood that a Leo needed more than a just short walk by automatically volunteering an extended walk tailoring to include vigorous exercise allowing my dog to burn his energy. The ability to manage leash manners and maintain attention, even with distractions, was impressive, as Huskies can be very independent on walks. Ryan asked about Leo’s training leash techniques and reviewed modeling the leash behavior. In addition to physical activity, Ryan showed commitment to mental stimulation for Leo. Puzzle toys and an intense play session kept Leo’s mind occupied, which helped prevent any destructive behaviors that can arise from boredom in Huskies. Training commands were also reinforced consistently, which is important for this breed. There was also excellent communication from Ryan during my time away! Knowing that Leo was well-cared for, happy, and engaged made my trip more relaxing and worry free! I’d highly recommend Ryan as your next dog sitter!
