Pet care experience
Hi everyone! I am a dog walker, pet sitter, actor and fitness instructor in Mt Airy, right next door to Chestnut Hill. I do a LOT of house sitting, among other types of bookings. This is for dogs, cats, or both! I've also taken care of birds, turtles and rabbits who are usually accompanied by a dog or two. For house sitting: I service West Mt Airy, most of East Mt Airy, Wyndmoor, Chestnut Hill, Flourtown, Glenside. These are my primary locations, although there are potential exceptions depending on the nature of the request. For dog walking: I service Mt Airy, Wyndmoor, 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 usually simple and straightforward! Additionally, the reviews and ratings on my page reflect only a portion of the clients I have serviced. So, if you're interested, send me a request! 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) --Two 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

About Ryan L.
Communication
Skills
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.
Information Ryan L. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Lots of attention, play and activity if that is what you would like! I am great at keeping pets satisfied and making clients feel like (our) time was well spent.

Availability
I try to stay flexible with my schedule. A lot of my time goes towards working with other people's pets. 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!
