Lifelong Pet Lover - Now Remote!
Pet care experience
My name is Ryan, and I have been a pet lover as long as I remember. In fact, I loved dogs so much that I worked as a volunteer over the summers at the local doggy daycare where I grew up. I would love to have dogs of our own, but currently my lifestyle won't allow me to. I have taken care of both dogs and cats. I have administered oral medicine and I am happy taking dogs on walks to the local dog park near where I live. I look forward to taking care of your loved one and can't wait to meet them! Why I love dog sitting I pressured my parents for years to let me get a pet. Then, from the 4th grade, I was lucky to get both a dog, Otto, and a cat, Storm. My sister and I were largely tasked with taking care of these pets, including feeding, exercise, and litter box duty. We were lucky to have Otto for 8 years and Storm for 17. Even after I moved away, I was close enough to home that when my parents went on vacation I would come home to pet sit. I loved dogs so much that I volunteered at my local doggy daycare for two successive years. It was a rewarding experience and I got to play with a lot of great dogs. I vividly remember working with one dog who was fighting cancer. He was so happy to have some company since he was separated from the other dogs. My experience administering medication I've given oral medication to both dogs and cats, but I have not given any injections before.
Reviews
Ryan did a fantastic job with our pup! He gave us daily updates, spent plenty of time with Hilo, and took great care of our home as well. Ryan gave us peace of mind along the whole process of booking, dog sitting, and returning home. Our pup was clearly well taken care of and enjoyed the time spent with Ryan. We would highly recommend him for all your pet sitting needs!
After reading so many good reviews, we were disappointed to say the least that our puppy wasn’t well cared for. During our trip the 2 pictures sent to us showed a very depressed puppy. Like he wasn’t getting walks (previously discussed) and love (pets). It was obvious when we returned home that Kiko wasn’t getting pets and rub downs as there was obvious skin reaction to his collar (boils that popped and bled). If he was being petted and rubbed, these wouldn’t have gone unnoticed. Also Ryan complained to us that Kiko wasn’t eating his food. We found it was rotten—it had been left out of the fridge too long. Of course he won’t eat that. We will not be using Ryan again and would like others to hear what happened to us. There’s more of course, but these were the biggest problems for us.
Ryan was amazing with our girl! He took on a last minute emergency booking and gave her so much love and attention. Luna is usually a feisty one but she seems to have immediately loved him. Very communicative, sent lots of updates as well as pictures, and took good care of our home. Thank you!
Always great to have Ryan watch my boy Frank!! Thanks for all the pictures and updates while I was away it puts me at ease's while I’m gone.

I have long been working with various kinds of pets and have quickly become acclimated to their needs and also their own eccentric personalities. I'm usually very quick to find out what a pet needs in the moment and am happy to take care of them the way that they want.
Information Ryan L. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds! I definitely want to know if your dog has some behavioral needs and how I can best respond to them. If you have a special request, please do not hesitate to ask!
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog I live locally in Honolulu in the Makiki area at the moment, and I love to go for walks and play with dogs! In fact, one of the reasons I became a sitter was that I currently can't actively support having pets at home in my apartment! Helping you with your loved one helps me get some time with pets as well! Extra house-sitting services I'm happy to discuss with you other needs you may have in your home!
