Safety, trust & environment

Being a former college athlete (track) I would be more than happy to care for your pets and take them for a walk. I always walk dogs on a leash and bring proper bags to care for waste. I promise to never leave your let unattended while under my care

Information Ryan H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs I can accommodate to. I currently have a special needs dog who needed help getting in and out vehicles as he cannot jump. Please let me know if your pet should stay away from other animals on a walk.

A typical day

I love taking dog on hikes on trials around Manistee. The State park has a nice 2 mile loop that I am very familiar with, not to mention Lake Michigan!

Time spent with pets: never wasted

Pet care experience

I have lived with animals since I was 14 and I couldn’t imagine having a house without them. I have lived with and taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and most recently chickens! My wife and I currently have 1 Lab mix who recently became somewhat handicap, needing a bit of extra assistance in mobility. We also have fish and 2 chickens here in the city of Manistee. I lived with a cat during my time in college and have often been relied upon to care for friends and families pets - mostly cats and dogs of all shapes and sizes. Being a former college athlete I love to stay active, so let me take your dog for a walk!

Great communicator. Managed my injured dog and gave medication. Played fetch with the puppy :) Happy dogs = happy me!

Ryan was super great and accommodating to me asking last minute for him to stay longer with my dog. Great on a pretty short notice too, thanks Ryan! Will be booking again for sure 😁
