I recently moved to CA to support my wife’s new job in SF. I have a fully open schedule at the moment and with a love of animals I thought that this would be a better way to learn and love my new community than digging through online job ads.

Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to sit, play, walk, feed and care for your pets as needed. I’m an active (formerly collegiate) runner and can go as fast or slowly as your pet needs. I have reliable transportation and experience in pet first aid as I recently completed my tenure as an Emergency Manager with the American Red Cross.

Information Ryan G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have special treats or diets. I can bring my own snacks, but will respect your pets dietary needs — just message me if it’s not in their profile.

A typical day

If you dog is good to play catch or with a frisbee, or just take a run or long walk, I’m happy to get out in the sunshine and move. And for cats, I’ll keep them running around the house and entertained.

Pet care experience

I have had and cared for pets since childhood, rescuing (literally from the streets) a lovely pitbull named Olive when I lived in Philadelphia. Moved to CA in May 2026 from East Coast.

I have had the extreme pleasure of working with Ryan for the last several years. He is just a fabulous asset; trustworthy, organized, compassionate, and extremely considerate. He takes incredible pride in working with people across the board. I have watched him in action with our pet friends and he is just amazing. Not only does he take incredible care of our pets, he enjoys every moment. Ryan comes to you with my un hesitating recommendation.

Ryan is fantastic at taking care of our pets! Whenever we go away we know we can rely on Ryan to not just feed them but also stay and play and engage with them. Ryan is always our first pick to watch our pets!

Ryan is great with animals. He has two cats of his own with his wife and has been around animals for most of his life. He has also been around our two dogs and cat and does very well with them. Would always trust him with my pets!
