Ryan's Home away from Home

If you're looking for genuine, dedicated care, look no further! My name is Ryan, and as a full-time, stay-at-home step-dad, I have the inherent flexibility and unwavering devotion to ensure your pets have a comfortable, fun, and personalized stay. With no children of my own, my commitment is complete: I treat every animal I care for as my own child. I recently made the move from California and am using the financial stability created through different ventures to pursue one of my passions: pet sitting. This isn't a job for me; it's a heartfelt side venture, meaning your pet gets my undivided attention during their stay. My goal is simple: for your animals to have the absolute best, most loving experience possible while you're away.

Ryan was very responsive and kept us updated on how Lyla and blue were doing during their stay. We loved all the pictures to keep us in the loop with what they were doing while away from us.

One of if not the best book we’ve had on Rover! He asked plenty of questions, is knowledgeable about dogs and very understanding of puppies tendencies to be absolutely wild. We were invited inside to see the home to make sure it would be a safe suitable environment for our puppy. To top it all off we got a “report card” taped to the bag about how he was and what they observed during the stay. 5/5 excellent sitter

Ryan took such good care of our dog Piper. She was so happy staying there and he kept us updated every day which I appreciated. We will use Ryan again when we need someone to watch Piper.

As someone who had just moved to the KC area, I was in need of a new pet sitter and Ryan turned out to be the perfect choice! His profile immediately caught my eye as someone who would care for my companion like he was Ryan's own. The fact that he worked from home and already had multiple dogs of his own, put me at ease that Bentley wouldn't suffer from anxiety separation given that I've worked remotely for years at this point. Ryan provided continual updates on how Bentley was getting along under his care and based off pictures, my pup had the best time exploring Ryan's big back yard, lounging in the sun, and making new friends with Ryan's two golden retrievers. I will certainly rebook with Ryan for future pet coverage needs! Highly recommend!

Schedule

Unlike part-time sitters who squeeze visits between other obligations, my schedule is structured around consistent pet care and family time. As a stay at home pet parent, caring for my two Golden Retrievers and cat forms as a constant of my daily routine. This means all walks, feeding times, and play sessions are scheduled with precision and are not subject to outside work conflicts. Whether I am providing in-home boarding or day stays, I am always present and available. I commit to maintaining your pet's exact routine, from specific medication times to late-night potty breaks, ensuring a stable, predictable, and stress-free experience.

Safety, trust & environment

1. Trust and Availability Trust is the foundation of my service. As a full-time, stay-at-home sitter, your pet receives genuine, focused attention that is simply unmatched. My flexible schedule means I am not juggling another job; I am fully dedicated to their care. This constant presence allows me to quickly recognize any change in behavior, diet, or health and respond immediately. Please feel free to observe my home environment and my interactions with my two Golden Retrievers and cat. I provide updates, photos, and communication so you always feel connected and assured that your pet is safe and thriving. 2. In My Home (Boarding/Daycare) For in-home boarding, I provide a safe, secure, and pet-proofed environment. My home is designed to be a comfortable, low-stress retreat. Dogs enjoy a consistent routine of feeding, play, and scheduled outdoor time in a fenced yard (with or without my two dogs- preference based). All medications are administered exactly as prescribed and logged. For the safety of everyone, only pets who are current on vaccinations and demonstrate friendly temperaments are accepted. The environment is always low-density, meaning I take a limited number of guests at any time to guarantee that every animal receives the maximum amount of personal attention, love, and care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day centers on a routine built around stability and comfort while you are away. We start with early morning relief, followed by individualized breakfast time (ensuring special diets are strictly followed). The middle of the day is dedicated to fun, exercise, and activities. For dogs, this means fetch in the yard, running with my two dogs, and focused one-on-one time. For cats or smaller pets, fun might involve rotating new puzzle toys, extended cuddle sessions on the sofa, or laser pointer play. Quiet time is enforced in the late afternoon, followed by dinner and an evening walk or supervised play before a few more relief breaks. This balanced schedule guarantees your pet gets consistent structure, plenty of exercise, and the personalized, loving attention they deserve, ensuring they are happy, tired, and content by bedtime.

Providing exceptional care starts long before the booking begins. To ensure the safest and happiest stay, I prefer a thorough profile of your pet's specific needs ahead of time. This includes, but is not limited to, detailed information on dietary restrictions, medication schedules and dosages, current vaccination records, known allergies, behavioral triggers, and preferred exercise levels. It is also essential for me to know about any anxiety issues (such as separation anxiety or noise sensitivity) so I can tailor the environment to their comfort. By sharing these key details, you allow me to replicate their home life and address any potential issues proactively, ensuring a seamless and stress-free transition for your furry family member.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
