Pet care experience

Dog’s best friend

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, my dad always had 3-4 dogs around and I love to play, feed and walk them. I raised a pup until the age of 13. I have taken care of dogs of all ages including 2 senior dogs 10+, I’m very well equipped to manage puppies and senior dogs and everyone in between. I will take very good care of your dog and will make sure it feels safe and loved.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 08, 2026

Ryan looked after our very energetic 1 year old chocolate lab for the day while we ran errands. Very responsive and provided a good mid-day update. Would recommend 10/10.

Ryan was an amazing pet sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the care he gave Leo. From the beginning, he was friendly, reliable, and genuinely caring. Leo can be energetic and a bit challenging on walks, but Ryan handled him with patience, confidence, and kindness. I truly appreciate Ryan's professionalism and dedication. I would absolutely trust him to care for Leo again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you, Ryan, for taking such wonderful care of Leo!

Ryan was fantastic with our two big rescue dogs while we were on vacation for two weeks. They are usually very nervous around men and it normally takes them quite a few visits to warm up to someone new. They will usually bark at strangers, but Ryan won them over right away. They were happy and relaxed the whole time and very well taken care of. He was quick to respond whenever we wanted check-ins or updates, but he never overdid the messaging, which was perfect. They have even seen him once more since the initial boarding and the dogs were beyond excited to see him again. Total tail wags, pawing for attention, and going in for kisses. You could just see it on their faces. I guess he just has that special touch. He definitely leaves a lasting impression! One of the best sitters we have ever had. Highly recommend and would book him again in a heartbeat. 10/10!

Ryan was great. We had flight issues both going and returning and he was very flexable. Piper came back happy and healthy. Highly recommended.

Cuddling: Give your pet some quality one-on-one cuddle time. Treats: Offer special treats and rewards for good behaviour. Outdoor Adventures: Plan nature hikes or visits to dog-friendly trails. Rest Time: Ensure pets have a quiet, comfortable space for rest.
