Highlights
Pet care experience
No dog too big or small!
No dog too big or small, genuinely! I'm confident and comfortable keeping hold of larger dogs who might pull or want to say hello to every dog they see, so if yours needs a firm, calm hand on the lead, that's no problem. At home I share my life with Dolly, my cockapoo, and Percy, my cat, so I understand multi pet households and know how to read a dog's body language. I've got a fenced garden and front gate for safe off lead time, and I send regular photo and message updates throughout the stay so you're never left wondering how things are going. Whatever your dog needs, long walks, a house sit, or just company, feel free to message me and let me know their routine, any quirks, and what would make them most comfortable. Looking forward to meeting you both!

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm looking after a dog in my own home or staying at yours, safety comes first. I have a fenced garden and a secure front gate, so there's plenty of safe space to play and no risk of dogs wandering off. When house sitting, I keep to your normal routine as closely as possible, dogs settle best when things stay familiar, and I'm confident and capable keeping hold of larger or stronger dogs on the lead if we're out and about and need to stay in control around distractions.
Ratings and reviews
Ryan looked after my 6 year old working cocker spaniel named Buddy, while I was away with work. He took him for long walks in the mornings and had plenty of time playing ball. Ryan demonstrated great communication skills as he would send me updates of how Buddy was during walks. I would recommend Ryan to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable and caring dog carer.

Schedule
I'm currently very flexible and can fit pet care around most requests, whether that's daily walks, drop-ins, or a full house sit. I check messages regularly throughout the day, so if your dog needs a set routine (same walk times, feeding schedule, etc.) I'm happy to stick closely to it so there's no disruption while you're away.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgRyan can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Please let me know your dog's routine (walk times, feeding schedule), any behavioural quirks, especially around other dogs or being left alone, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and settled. The more I know beforehand, the better I can look after them exactly how you would.
