Highlights
Pet care experience
Texas-sized Love!
*My profile doesn’t show it, but I have five “regulars” I walk during the weekdays and around ten dogs I housesit throughout the year. This doesn’t mean that I’m unavailable, just that my profile is active and I do this regularly* In 2019 I relocated from Austin, TX to Maryland. I am familiar with little dogs and big dogs up to and including 100 lbs (more to love). Senior cats and dogs are my some of my favorites. On a different note I have trained one dog how to sit, wait, and increased his comfort zone (he was very shy). Depending on the dog, I do walks a couple of miles long within or outside your neighborhood. If your dog is trained or needs training I'm happy to help and use your commands. I know potty breaks are essential so I'll be prompt for a walk outside. Cats are amazing, the more the better. I can brush both animals and trim the nails of cats. If your cat is playful, I know how to keep them entertained (Lazer pointer anyone?). If not, I'm happy to read or watch tv with a cat on my lap.

Safety, trust & environment
I’ll make sure to discuss with you any specific needs or ideas about caring for your pet. Otherwise, timely feeding, play time and relaxing time are all important.
Ratings and reviews
Ryan is a life saver! He was able to come through and take out my dog at a last minute notice. I look forward to using him again very soon.
Ryan was great with the pups and flexible with our last minute booking. He was also patient with me as I was super nervous with a new dog walker. He also handled all three of them well. I’d definitely recommend his services.
Ryan was great and patient with our senior dog!
Ryan is a wonderful pet sitter! Our pup, Pepper, is always in such good hands.
Ryan was wonderful while pet sitting for us! He kept us informed with regular updates and pictures of our pup, which we greatly appreciate! Highly recommend Ryan!
Ryan is wonderful with my dog, very reliable and clearly loves animals.

Schedule
Currently I have a slate of five dogs I walk throughout the weekdays regularly. My cat Ralph keeps my cat skills sharp at home. I housesit anywhere from one to four times a month, usually on (but not restricted to) weekends. My work schedule outside of pet sitting is flexible so it is likely I can accommodate you.
