Availability
Currently available to do house/pet sitting, dog walking and daily drop ins for morning-mid day visits at any time, however evening dog walking/kitty drop ins may require some minor flexibility. I am well rounded and my only current obligations are work, which is for the 2nd shift (may require evening flexibility on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday - Off Work Wed/Thur). Other than my set work schedule, my only time commitment belongs to my online Masters degree classes. Which should not interfere with my service offerings.

About Ryan L.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I strive to provide the same level of care that I already provide for my cats and dogs, to your beloved pets. I promise to treat them as if they were my own and provide all the love, attention and affection as is obviously appropriate or needed. For Dogs, I provide your everyday routine care (ie: feeding, refreshing water dishes, providing treats, play and daily exercise/stimualtion as needed). I enjoy taking dogs on longer walks (15-20 mins) when doing drop ins and I have the always provide pertinent visit notes and detailed Rover Cards with all the pictures. For Cats, I provide the same routine care as noted above, just without going on walks (unless you got one of them space suit outdoor kitty backpacks). I enjoy playing with cats of all ages. I really like kittens/younger cats due to their infinite amounts of energy, which are not only amusing but tons of fun! However, I get the most joy by providing attention/playing with older cats who may not receive that much daily stimulation if they are set in their routine.

Information Ryan L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your fur baby requires any special attention, has any medical concerns or needs medication administered. Also feel free to advise of any normal behavior or any other special needs or requests to make your pet as comfortable as possible.
A typical day
Anything from playing in the park with your dog, enjoying cat naps in my lap, grooming your fur baby, squishes/cuddles, all the pets their heart desires, play time with nip toys or chew/tug of war toys, etc. I love to get pets excited and give them all the attention they ned and crave.

Pet care experience
I've grown up with pets my entire life, mainly dogs and cats. Over the many years of my child and adulthood, I helped care for my parent's dogs (from puppies to senior pups). I also have 15+ years of experience caring for cats. I'm used to both cats and dogs requiring special care and attention or that have various health concerns (ie: administering medication, any type of special diets, k/cal dietary needs, prescription food and more). I have experience with many dog breeds, of all types of sizes and behavioral demeanors. Let my many years of pet care experience shine and allow me to relieve your qualms about being away from your fur babies. In the meantime, tell your Dog I said hi, and whisper spspsps to your Cat for me.

Reviews
Ryan has watched Phoenix a few times and is always great and attentive with her!
Ryan went above and beyond in so many ways. He is an exceptional sitter. Flexible. Communicative. Offered to drive me to the rent a car station. Tightened my doorknob since it was loose. And most importantly of all, he is a cat whisperer. What a great guy.
Thanks Ryan! We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Ryan! From the very beginning, they were professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. They took the time to understand our cat’s routine, quirks, and preferences, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Each visit came with thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that made us feel connected and reassured. It was clear our cat was not only well cared for, but genuinely enjoyed their company. We came home to a happy, relaxed pet and everything exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets!
Always great with the cats, and was very flexible when my plans changed last minute.
