Love dogs, even a pack! Will run.

Pet care experience

Hello there, Ryan here! I love dogs and everything about them, from their excitement and playfulness, to their loyalty and companionship. I have lived with dogs my entire life, and started working as a sitter/walker since I was 12 years old. I have always prided myself as not just being a sitter or care taker for the dogs I watch, but becoming a close friend and part of the dog's pack. I pay attention to the important nonverbals of dogs, and take care to ensure that their living space and daily routines are as comfortable as possible. I have lived with small dogs, medium dogs and even some of the biggest of man's best friends throughout my life. Life is always better with a dog. I can walk, run, or even longboard with dogs. Available every day of the week for quick dropbys and walks, and available most nights for drop-bys and house sitting. I currently live with a dog of my own right now, with a decently sized yard; however I would not want to cause any undue stress here at home so I will not be offering any 'pet boarding' services out of my home. I look forward to meeting you and yours, and hope to become good friends with any canine that you call family!

I have known Ryan for several years now. He genuinely loves animals of all types but has a special place in his heart for dogs. Over the past few years Ryan has had several roommates, some of whom had dogs that he let live in the house(and ended up treating them like his own dog) . He now owns his own dog Cali who is very well taken care of and never leaves Ryan's side. Ryan also has taken care of a number of my pets on several occasions. He has watched our dogs,along with our cats ,birds and turtles. He seems to genuinly enjoy taking care of animals and would be a great hire. Brandon Fowlkew

Information Ryan J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have had their rabies vaccine, and if they are comfortable around strangers. I look forward to making new friends with dogs, but wouldn't want to cause it any undue stress being a stranger if it is uncomfortable meeting new humans.
