Safety, trust & environment

Since I just bought my house, I am currently not offering boarding in my own home; however, I would be glad to stay over at your place (when available) and care for your pets! If you don’t have a yard, no problem! I will gladly take them for walks around the neighborhood and make sure their needs are met. If your pet needs a drop-in visit for love during the day, we can spend time playing, cuddling, eating some treats (if applicable), and take a bathroom break or two!

Information Ryan F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has medical needs or any special requests before booking. I would love to send you pictures of your lovely friend during my visits/walks. I love to know the breed and the size of the pet I will be caring for. If you have helpful tips or any common walking paths for your friend, let me know!

A typical day

I love to go on walks (short or long) and explore the neighborhood. We will play with some toys while I'm there as well as get some fresh new water to drink and or food if needed.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover who has a family dog on the other side of the state! I have over 7 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, ranging from 3-month-old puppies to sweet senior dogs who want more love than play time. For the past 4 years, I’ve been trusted to walk, drop in, and house-sit for multiple families/friends, providing attentive, loving care while keeping their homes safe and clean. Whether it’s a nice day/evening walk, an overnight stay, or a drop-in visit for a couple of hours during the day, I make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, safe, and entertained. I love going for walks, playing fetch, playing with toys, and giving them all the attention they deserve and need! If your dog loves to lounge and cuddle while watching TV, they'll become a fan of reality TV pretty quickly. In addition to pet care while house-sitting, I will gladly water your plants, bring in and sort mail, and ensure your home stays clean and cared for while you’re away. Your pets will be treated like my own as I watch them, and your home will be cared for like it is my own.

Ryan is literally the best and quickly became apart of the family. I truly enjoy knowing he’s coming over to take care of my sweet girl. Couldn’t have asked for better.

Ryan is absolutely perfect! He does such a great job of keeping me updated during his scheduled days and is always quick and responsive. Meeting with Ryan, I was instantly comfortable. I’m so happy to have found a dog walker I feel I can truly trust and rely on to take care of my girl! Couldn’t have asked for better.

Ryan is so attentive and kind and he’s my dog’s chosen friend and that quite rare for a dachshund! It’s remarkable to see my dog so excited to see anyone, really! Thank you Ryan for taking care of us this whole week!
