Pets can expect over an acre of enclosed backyard, so plenty of room to run around and play as needed. Bathroom breaks will be given at least once every 1.5 hours - 2 hours and will be supervised the entire time as is standard with our own pups. We also have a cat and two small dogs in the house, but they will be upstairs and away from your pets during the visit.

Reliable, Caring Dog Walker/Sitter

Pet care experience

I have grown up with both dogs and cats ever since I was very little and I have always loved taking care of them. I live at home with my parents and I have lots of experience watching our two dogs and cat for weeks at a time while they are traveling. (Note: neither my parents, or pets will be anywhere near your pets, as they are going to be in a separate part of the house. The house also has a huge backyard, sitting on over an acre with tall fences. I also keep plenty of toys on hand so you can be sure your pets are getting the love and care they deserve.

Ryan has cared for Emma multiple times now, and we wouldn’t trust her with just anyone. Emma is incredibly selective - she makes it very clear who she likes and who she doesn’t - and she chooses Ryan every time. That says everything to us! He is trustworthy, responsible, and communicates consistently throughout every stay. We always know Emma is in great hands, and she loves being with him. If you’re looking for someone who truly gets dogs, Ryan is your person.

Ryan has been our pet sitter for almost three years. We are so lucky to have him and he is the best pet sitter we have ever had. Our two dogs are a handful - quirky, naughty and demanding. Ryan handles them with compassion, humor and warmth. He is detail-oriented and attentive. He is meticulous and capable of handling all kinds of situations - like when the power goes out unexpectedly. He follows our directions to the letter regarding feeding and treats, and sends pictures that always show two totally relaxed and lounging dogs who don't seem to miss us much at all. For days after he leaves, the dogs run to his room and scratch on the door to see if he is in there. I think that means they like him! We have said on numerous occasions that we don't know what we would do without him!

Ryan is a very nice & caring young man who takes amazing care of our aging and special needs dogs that require multiple daily medications. He also trims my cat’s nails and sends me picture updates while we are gone. I really appreciate that he is able to stay here the majority of the time and doesn’t leave for extended hours. He communicates well, takes great care of our home, and helps leave it clean when the job is done. We appreciate him so much!
