Happy trails and happier tails!
Pet care experience
I have had a variety of pets all my life and am experienced with all shapes and sizes of dogs! My wife and I have 2 loving pitbull mixes and 3 cats, one of which is a Type 1 diabetic so I am familiar with medication injections and understand the importance of time-sensitive ones. I have experience with not just dogs and cats, but have had my own hedgehogs, lizards, rats, and even fostered large families of rats waiting for their forever homes as well!
Reviews
Ryan was great!
Ryan did an awesome job with my three kitties (which involved giving daily meds to one of them)! He was super reliable and sent lots of photo updates. I highly recommend him!
Ryan did a fantastic job walking my scaredy dog while I was out of town. He was patient with her and provided great communication.
Ryan is a reliable, confident pet sitter. I have two large dogs with bad manners and lots of energy - Ryan is patient and does an excellent job reinforcing the behaviors we are working on with them. He is communicative and great about sending updates, too! My dogs love him and we love the peace of mind in having such a consistent pet sitter.
About Ryan J.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We regularly walk our dogs to make sure they get plenty of sniffs in the neighborhood and I do the same for anyone else. They get to roam the house in designated areas that we've blocked off so they can stay safe. Our cats are the real rulers of the house, but whenever they are willing to grace us with their presence we always make sure to give them plenty of love and scratches.
Information Ryan J. would like to know about your pet
Please make sure to let me know if there is anything I should be aware of with your pets. I'll list a few examples below! Potty time sensitive Crate trained Leash pulling Hyper around new people (jumping, bumping etc.) Nervous around new people Escape artist Likes to hide Jumps at squirrels, dogs, cars etc. Neighborhood (Are there places they are scared of, do you know of areas where a neighbors dog free roams or gets loose often)
A typical day
I love letting them get plenty of sniffs on walks, and playing a variety of games and toys to help burn their energy. If snuffle mats or treat games are okay by you then those are some great options to help get their foraging instincts burnt out too!

I set my own schedule with regular clients, so I have plenty of time to take care of both my pups and yours. Happy to even drop in short notice if your schedule gets hectic!
