Availability

I work from home. I can take dogs for walks or dog parks most times during the week, as my meetings can be handled from my phone. If dogs are friendly with our dog, the dog can come play at our house in our fenced in back yard. Weekend mornings are usually free for walks, and depending on kid activities can fit in walks and feedings during the afternoon/evening.

Information Ryan H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet is friendly with children or other dogs and if they can join in on playtime/walks. Also let me know how long walks should be.

A typical day

I take my own pet on 3-5 mile walks most days. We also play chase and tug-of-war with various toys. I can have the same fun with your friend! Will cater play to the speed, duration, and ferocity to your pet’s temperament and desires.

Work from home dad with a fun dog!

Pet care experience

I work from home and have flexible hours. My dog loves to play with other dogs and would love to have a friend on walks or to play in our fenced-in yard! Also available to go on solo walks if needed. Can also have behaved dogs stay over during day or night; they will get plenty of love from our dog and our two daughters. Can take the dog for walks, to dog parks, or just hang out in our back yard.

Ryan was great. He stopped by once a day to check on my cat, feed him, and clean the litterbox. And we received a picture of my cat every day. Ryan jumped in at the last-minute request, and we greatly appreciated his timeliness and availability. Thank you, Ryan!
