Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced + passionate caregiver!
AVAILABLE FOR September + October + November bookings! Hi everyone! I am a dog walker, pet sitter, actor and fitness instructor in West Germantown, right next to W Mt Airy and Chestnut Hill. My goal is to give you and your pets peace of mind, and an extra perk is if I am able to establish a little bit of a bond with them as well. I do a LOT of house sitting bookings through Rover. While house sitting, I've also taken care of birds, turtles, hamsters and rabbits who are usually accompanied by a pet or two. Looking for dogs to consistently walk and drop ins for pets that need assistance. *I will always double check the accuracy of booking requests when it comes to the dates requested and total cost*. House Sitting Locations: West + East Mt Airy, Wyndmoor, Chestnut Hill, Flourtown, Glenside, (some) of the East Falls area, and parts of Germantown. Some of Fort Washington//Plymouth Meeting for house sitting but NOT dog walks. I do NOT service Roxborough/Manayunk. Dog Walking: Mt Airy, Wyndmoor, Flourtown and Chestnut Hill. Dog walking is more "local", house sitting is more flexible. There are rare exceptions based on availability, but these are my main locations for both services. If your request is declined, it is most likely outside of my area, or I am too busy to fit it into my calendar. The Rover calendar reflects general availability. If you are a new client, I cannot accept bookings that are sent within 24 hours of the start date. Meet and greets are required for every NEW client. These are simple and straightforward with a 25 minute limit! This gives us both a chance to develop trust and set clear expectations. Additionally, the reviews on my page reflect *a portion* of the clients I have serviced. If you're interested, send me a request! I do not under any circumstances go to dog parks with Rover clients. Experience: --Worked with dogs + cats for half of my life / have lived with pets my entire life --Experience with intense levels of play/activity, notetaking and behavioral observation --Can walk with the slowest of pups or jog with the fastest --Worked for two boarding/daycamp facilities professionally (3 years total) --Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds (even in the same room) --Three years of paid dog walking/pet sitting for a local business prior to Rover While I have worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments, I will not do visits for aggressive, territorial and overly-possessive pets. Safety is important! I have been doing this a long time and can gauge if I am right for a client, or if a client is right for me. **If your pet requires a harness to be clipped underneath of their belly, this is something I need to be notified of in advance

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I take safety very seriously, and will make sure the home is properly taken care of, and locked up whenever leaving. Any instructions that are provided for your home will be read carefully. Treating the environment as if you were still there with your pets is key.
Ratings and reviews
Ryan is wonderful!
Always great!

Ryan did a great job with Mabel (who adores him) and our place was left exactly as he found it after 6 days. Lots of photo updates and kept on top of her meds and feeding routine. Ryan's a great choice for short or long dog-sitting engagements.

This is our third or fourth time using Ryan, and we will continue doing so!

Ryan is incredible trustworthy and reliable. He takes amazing care and respect with my dog and is always our go to walker.

Great having you watch our cats as always

Schedule
I try to stay flexible with my schedule. A lot of my time goes towards working with other people's pets. My teaching job doesn't require me to be away from someone's home for long periods of time. The main thing to know is that bookings are on a first come, first serve basis. Send me a message and I'll let you know if I can make it work!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsRyan can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Just need to know a history of the dog's/cat's interactions with people or other animals; in the house and out on walks. This includes all "negative" behaviors. I am very good with reading a pet's body language and adjusting to their personalities.
