Pet care experience

I have taken care of multiple dogs throughout the years. I have always encouraged rescuing over shopping. I have trained and raised a deaf dog, a dalmatian, a collie, and multiple senior dogs. I often also help my friends train their dogs.

We had never used a pet sitter service before so were very nervous. After meeting Ryan (& Thomas) our fears diminished. The overnight stay with our 6 furry babies & fish-tank in our home was more than perfect. All the animals love them, we got regular check-ins w/pics, our packages were brought in for us & we never had to worry even about our special needs baby. We look forward to our next trip for a week knowing our furry babies & home will be cared for so well! I highly recommend using Ryan for your next pet sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment

My dog is very friendly and he loves having other dogs and humans to play with. I often watch my friends dog(s) when they go out and Gavin is very supportive to have companions. We have a dog park and our complex is very dog friendly.

Information Ryan D. would like to know about your pet

I am able to work with and assist in training with almost any kind of dog. My only exception to this would be aggressive dogs that do not get along with other dogs. I may not be able to board those for safety reasons. I have worked with multiple senior, special needs, and other dogs that need special attention. I have different tricks for when medicine needs to be given as well.

A typical day

I love to go on walks with my dog (and other dogs too). Gavin is a bundle of energy so we go out many times during the day and a ton on the weekends. We have a whole host of toys to choose from and he is very good at sharing. Gavin and I practice his various trick training and love to visit the dog park. As well, tons of water is available and multiple dog beds are also available for when it is rest time. We also go for many car rides and enjoy getting out and about. We are not an indoor family if the weather permits.
