I have a fenced backyard and an extremely friendly Siberian husky who I take care of. The husky is 1 and a half. He is neutered and completely vaccinated and gets along well with other animals. Additionally, I do not have to bring him with me when I take care of your pets as my mom works from home and takes care of them as needed.

Information Ryan M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs before taking them out. Additionally, knowing about any food allergies will be super helpful. I am very patient and will help in any way I can!

A typical day

I love to take the dogs on long walks and or runs depending on the dog. I enjoy dog parks and hikes and overall love hanging out with the animals.

This is our first time using Rover to find someone to come into our home and take care of our pets. I like the reviews of Ryan and scheduled a meet and greet with him to make sure he would comfortable with staying at the house. My main concern was keeping the dog and cat separated since they don't get along. Ryan sent me updates of how things were going, which was reassuring. Joplin (dog) really liked Ryan and she doesn't like everyone. We came home from our trip and Joplin was very happy to see us. Joplin actually looked the next morning to see if Ryan was still in the spare room :-). I would definitely use Ryan again in the future.

Ryan was responsible and flexible for some changes we made to our plan. Molly was happy with her exercise and meals, as far as we can tell.

Ryan was fantastic and stayed an hour and a half longer than originally planned given I had a meeting that ran over! I was so appreciative of his flexibility and his willingness to help! Thank you Ryan!
