Dedicated Care Provider

I'm a certified "dog guy." My love of pups began at the age of five. I was raised by the best to be a caring and responsible pet owner. As a result, friends and family call me first to care for their pups. My approach to care is to build trust, give respect, and provide attention. A mixture of exercise, structure, and fun makes for the happiest fur friends. When your loved one is in my care, I follow your care routines: walks, feeding schedules, and medication regimens. I send text updates and share photos, so you never feel out of the loop. I look forward to meeting you and providing care. As the saying goes, "There are no strangers here; only dog friends you haven't yet met."

House Sitting • Aug 11, 2026

Ryan was absolutely great! He pinch-hit for a Rover cancellation at the last minute, and was able to come for a meet & greet the day before sitting for our dog. He and Rory hit it off immediately and pics confirmed how much fun they had. Ryan takes his job seriously and asks lots of questions about routine, food, etc. We would not hesitate to use Ryan's services again. Two thumbs way up!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 10, 2026

Ryan was absolutely incredible from start to finish and truly went above and beyond every single day. From our very first consultation, it was clear that he genuinely puts the health, safety, and happiness of the animals in his care first. We immediately felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs with him. While we were traveling internationally, Ryan visited our dogs multiple times a day and provided exceptional care and attention. He sent us detailed, thoughtful updates along with so many wonderful photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious from the photos and updates that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and completely adored him. Ryan was also incredibly reliable, compassionate, attentive, and communicative. He went far beyond simply checking in on our pets; he treated them as if they were his own and made sure every detail was taken care of. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ryan is truly outstanding at what he does, and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets. We will definitely be using Ryan again. As first time Rover users, he has set the bar incredibly high!

I can't recommend Ryan highly enough! No one is going to take better care of your best friend. For more than a decade, Ryan has cared for our dogs, and I truly believe our Golden Retriever loves him even more than she loves us. The excitement on her face every time she sees him says it all. Ryan won't just walk your dog—he will treat your furry friend like a member of the family. Because our Golden Retriever loves meeting people, Ryan often takes her along when he grabs a coffee in town so she can soak up all the attention and affection from everyone she meets. It's a thoughtful touch that reflects how much he thinks about what makes the dogs in his care happy and how he wants them to have fun, too. He often sends pictures of our dog from their adventures together. They brighten our day and give us peace of mind, knowing she's happy, safe, and having the time of her life. Ryan is reliable, caring, and truly has a gift with animals. He has experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and knows how to provide the extra attention and special care that older dogs need. If you're looking for someone to love and care for your dog as if they were his own, there is simply no one better. Our dog is eagerly awaiting her next visit with Ryan!

Ryan is our favorite pet caregiver. He’s so great with our golden retriever and she gets so happy every time she sees Ryan. Ryan is attentive to our specific requests and provides the best care. He’s our go to and we trust him so much. I highly recommend him.

Dog Walking • Apr 30, 2026

Highly recommend Ryan! He took the time to do a meet and greet and really understand my dog’s specific needs. He was very communicative and flexible whenever any changes came up, which I truly appreciated. What stood out most was how he followed my dog’s training routines and even used the exact phrases we’ve been working on. He handled my dog’s reactivity with care and confidence, and it made a huge difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Peace of Mind for My Pup! I cannot recommend Rover and specifically my sitter Ryan enough. As someone who is naturally a bit anxious about leaving my dog behind, this experience was a total game-changer. Why I Loved the Experience: The Perfect Match: The platform made it so easy to filter for exactly what I needed—someone with a fenced yard who was comfortable with large breeds. Constant Updates: I received daily photos and "Rover Cards" that tracked walks and potty breaks. Seeing my dog happy and relaxed in a home environment made my trip so much more enjoyable. Vetting & Trust: Knowing that sitters go through a background check and that the Rover Guarantee is in place gave me that extra layer of security I don’t get with a random neighbor or friend.
