Pet care experience
My greatest pet joy and accomplishment has been being a father to Tulipa, a three-year-old rescue collie mix. My wife rescued her in Porto Alegre, Brazil when she was a puppy. When my wife moved to the USA last year, Tulipa came too! She has been a beam of joy throughout the pandemic, and has taught me so much about life and happiness! I grew up outside of Philadelphia with a beautiful, yellow lab named Hershey who passed away after I left for college in Pittsburgh. As long as I can remember, I have been watching neighbor's or friend's cats, dogs, and children! Over the past several years, I've regularly looked after several different dogs of varying shapes and sizes: my "niece" Ella, a mini pincher, and my "nephew" Charlie, a Cockapoo, both house-sitting and dog-walking as needed. The same goes for Cheeky, a good friend's Jack Russell. I'm finishing up my PhD remotely from the University of Texas in Austin in Iberian and Latin American Cultures, where I also teach language classes to undergrads. I'll teach your dog Spanish or Portuguese!!
Reviews
Ryan is a dedicated, responsible, and professional dog walker. He watched my dog for a week. During that time, my dog recieved lots of love and attention. He also gave him very long walks which I appreciated. Ryan will not let you down and can be counted on for honest dog walking or pet sitting.
Ryan has been our dog sitter for 6+ years. Starting out with our 35 lb "mutt" senior dog Rodger (18 years!) and more recently with the addition of our newest rescue Cheeky (a 2 year jack Russell mix). A low energy dog, and a super high energy dog is a challenge to say the least, and Ryan handles them with great care and love. Our dogs LOVE Ryan, and he has taken care of them through the standard times as well as a trip or 2 to the emergency room (Cheeky likes to eat stuff she shouldn't) Ryan always puts our dogs first when they are in his care, For example one emergency room visit was in the dead of night causing Ryan to cancel his scheduled work the following day. He even paid for the services out of pocket until we were able to reimburse him upon our return. Ryan is kind, consistent and reliable. We are so sad he is leaving our area and the dogs are too! He will be missed and you will be lucky to have him care for your dogs.
