Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced + passionate caregiver!
AVAILABLE FOR JUNE, AND JULY BOOKINGS!!! Also open to reserving times for August :) 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. You might see me going for runs through town! 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. I am also looking for dogs to consistently walk and drop ins for dogs/cats that need assistance. My preference is to be active, so checking on different pets throughout my week is something I love to do. *I will always double check the accuracy of booking requests when it comes to the dates requested and total cost*. House Sitting: West Mt Airy, East Mt Airy, Wyndmoor, Chestnut Hill, Flourtown, Glenside, (some) of the East Falls area, and parts of Germantown. I do service some of Fort Washington//Plymouth Meeting. 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! 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! **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
Great having you watch our cats as always

Ryan saved us from quite the predicament a few days prior to our wedding and honeymoon when a previous sitter ghosted us. He was able to quickly accommodate a meet and greet which gave us reassurance of his legitimacy and commitment to pet sitting. He watch our dog and cat for our extended trip away. He is extremely professional and thorough, giving regular updates with photos. So so grateful for Ryan!


Ryan is always a fantastic, responsive and reliable sitter for our house and pets. We have hired him several times including multiple last minute stays and we always appreciate his communication, updates, and excellent manner with the animals. Highly recommend!


Ryan is absolutely the best drop in dog sitter I have ever hired. He was fantastic with my two dogs! I would absolutely recommend Ryan for anyone looking for a pet sitter/ dog walker. I will definitely be booking Ryan again when I go away. Ryan made sure to come over before to meet and greet my dogs and learn the lay of the land. My dogs were so happy to meet him and will be happy to see him again!
Ryan has taken great care of our labradoodle on our last three extended vacations between 7-17 days. We will be happy to have him for our next trip of 12 days. If that is not a vote of confidence I don’t know what is! He leaves the house clean and our dog is happy when he is hear. Ryan communicates daily and as needed and is entirely trustworthy. He is a great dog and house sitter. Thank you Ryan!

Amazing dog and home sitter. We love working with Ryan and our fur babies love him too.

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!
