Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog and a cat, and I still always get excited when I get to say hi to a pup while out and about. I have helped take care of animals my whole life, and recently I have been walking & house/dogsitting for friends, family, and coworkers as needed. I’m excited to eventually get a golden retriever in the near future. I’d be happy to hang with your pup!

Ryan provided EXCEPTIONAL care for my dog, Sodus. Not only was Ryan flexible to care for Sodus from the early morning to late evening given my long nursing shifts, but when I notified Ryan that my dog was having GI issues the night before he was meant to sit for him, Ryan was so graciously still willing to watch my sick boy. Any dog owner knows how stressful it can be to have a dog who has diarrhea/vomiting - giving bland diet, all the meds, letting out frequently, cleaning up sick… and the fact that Ryan was so dependable that he was willing to help watch my boy during this time speaks volumes to his commitment to his clients and his love for dogs. I will absolutely be using Ryan again for my pet care needs and would recommend him 10 times over. Thanks again Ryan!

I feel so lucky that we found Ryan as a sitter for our dog Boone and I would highly recommend him for anyone that is looking for someone to watch their dog! Ryan is honestly everything you’re hoping for in a sitter - great communication, super attentive to any unique requests, flexible, and overall excited and passionate about getting to spend time with your pet/dog which of course makes you feel so much better about leaving them in someone else’s care. We had such a great experience with Ryan and will definitely be leveraging his services again in the future!
