Pet care experience

Stay at home dog dad of two 🐶🐶

I have 2 active Australian shepherds that I care for. They go to the park twice a day! Both are very hyper so I always make sure to give them multiple walks as well as park time. I feed my dogs on a set schedule around 5-6pm with one large meal as well as a lighter meal in the morning. My dogs are always up to date with checkups and shots! I don’t play favorites and will divvy up play time equally. I owned multiple cats growing up as a kid as well as a Jack Russell Terrier during high school. I also have experience caring for exotic pets, such as rabbits/bunnies and have owned 2 previously.

Ryan is an incredible help. He’s extremely reliable, but what matters most is the genuine care and special attention he gives my dog!

We're so glad Ryan was able to watch our fur baby even with such short notice. He shared multiple updates throughout each day, made sure she got lots of activity, & followed her routine as closely as possible. He was quick to respond to our messages and any questions we had, had a fair rate, and very clearly loves dogs & will treat yours like his own, which is what you want when you're going out of town. Would highly recommend!

Ryan is an animal lover! He is great with all kinds of dogs regardless of energy level. He’s watched my cat who is timid and was patient. She warmed up to him quickly. My cat requires a daily inhaler which he administered while I was gone. He is responsible and communicative!

I have known Ryan for almost 3 years now and can say with confidence that he would be a wonderful sitter for any pup. He has 2 dogs who although friendly are definitely high energy, so rest assure, he knows better than most how to help keep rambunctious furballs entertained and loved. In addition to his patience, Ryan also has really good attention to detail and is meticulous when it comes to most things in his life (ask him to see his restaurant review list its seriously impressive). I have no doubt that even with dogs with complex needs, he is sure to not miss a thing. Lastly Ryan is just a really good guy, warm presence, and easy to talk to. You'll feel great leaving your pup in his care.

Schedule

I work from home full time so I am able to care for multiple pets. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to walk my dogs multiple times per day and usually 2 long walks at the dog park. I wake up around 6am to walk them then work between 9-5pm. In between those hours I take my dogs out for a walk or two as well as entertain them on my breaks. We have plenty of dog toys available for them to entertain themselves. I allow my dogs to free roam the house because they’ve earned that privilege but crate time every now and then is also utilized. I also run a lot with my dogs, so if your dog enjoys runs I am happy to do that as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep my dogs upstairs with me while I work or sometimes leave them downstairs where they nap on the couch and relax. I like to give my dogs dedicated decompression time in their crates after play time or during dinner. I have a fully fenced yard will plenty of space for your pets to roam. I will always treat your pet as if it were my own. Trust is not built in one day, but it can be lost instantly!

Pets

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the park to play fetch, get good sniffs, and swim. I’m very interactive with pets so engaging with them using toys and giving them a lot of pets. If your dog is physically capable to run, I also love running with dogs outside.
