Pet care experience

Lover of creatures big and small

I've had pets all of my life. I've been around cats since I was born, had dogs since I was 9, and went to school for animal science (Cal Poly SLO) and to become a vet tech. I've had a handful of pet care jobs, mostly doggy daycare and professional pet bathing, where I worked with dogs great and small (and every size in between). I've helped take care of dogs while they were boarding at the daycare by cleaning their rooms, making sure they always had water and a cozy bed, and feeding them according to their parent's instructions (as well as play with them and take them on walks). With schooling I became skilled at administering medications, doing bandages, and I am confident with my CPR skills. I am comfortable with all breeds and most temperaments (as long as they're not people aggressive, that's fine!). Whether your senior dog needs some assistance with pottying or your puppy needs an extra run when you're at work, I'm happy to provide my services.

Ryan is amazing and I feel fortunate to have found her. My cat Peaches, is an independent girl, but I can’t leave her alone and not worry. Ryan is thoughtful and communicative. I appreciate her and feel at ease having her take care of my home and Peaches! I highly recommend her (thank you Ryan).

House Sitting • Jan 07, 2026

Ryan was a totally awesome dog/house sitter. She is the only one of my dog/house sitters to completely follow my dog/house instructions including watering the yard and making sure the pool sweeper was programmed and running. Will definitely be re-booking for my next cruise. My kids (brother and sister pitbulls) did great with her.

Ryan was such a great communicator and took excellent care of my three cats! She was attentive, caring, and warm. I felt much better knowing my kitties were taken care of by Ryan while I was gone. I will definitely reach out to her for future visits! 😊

Schedule

I do work full time, but I typically have Wednesdays and Thursdays off. On days that I do work, I can do early morning (6-9:30am) and evening (7-11pm) drop ins. House sitting works great for me too, both for days I'm working and not! If you're okay with your babies belong alone in the day but want them to have a buddy at night, I can definitely do that!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Ryan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I'm comfortable with all breeds and age groups, just please let me know what to expect and how they do with new people! And if this is for taking them on walks, please let me know how they do on leash and if they're dog reactive!
