🐶 Trusted Pet Sitter in Foothills

Hello! I’m Ryan and I’m originally from Chicago. I bought a home & moved to Tucson a few years back. I work from home with my job so I am very flexible in terms of needs & checkups for your buddy. While in Chicago I hosted quite a bit, but primarily did a lot of dog walking. I enjoyed getting to walk around new areas with the dogs and seeing their excitement. I am very familiar with all types of breeds, big & small, and will make sure your dogs are taken care of just as you would. 🏥 I am independently insured outside of Rover for pet sitting/boarding/etc., so you can be sure that your pet is in great hands incase of an emergency while under my care. 🏠 MY HOME: My home is well situated for dogs and has both a front and back yard that are fenced in. I live in a very quiet neighborhood nestled between La Encantada and the Foothills. It is a great area for dog walks. Dogs are welcomed onto my furniture and bed. *I do have a very dog-friendly cat, however, if your dog is not fond of cats, I can keep my cat separate in my bedroom/guest room. I’m very flexible.*

Ryan was wonderful with our two cats! He followed all of our instructions and gave us peace of mind while we were away! He gave them lots of pets and made sure they were well taken care of with plenty of food, water, and clean litter box. We will be using Ryan in the future!

Ryan is amazing!! We had him do some drop in visits during the week and he was wonderful with our dog, Tucker. We wanted someone to stop in and get some energy out and he did just that. He had Tucker swimming and running around nonstop. Ryan had wonderful communication and we knew our dog was in great hands! We will be using him in the future.

We usually take Indie on all our trips but for this trip she had to stay behind. I could tell right away Ryan was very experienced with dogs as Indie took right to him! It alleviated my anxieties instantly! This was Indie’s first time away from us overnight and Ryan did the best job we could have ever hoped for! He was absolutely amazing with her and she was well taken care of and happy! He was very kind and professional. We would definitely hire him again in the future if we need a caregiver. Could not have gone any better! Thank you so much!

Ryan is a responsible house and dog sitter. We are very grateful that he watched our two dogs and our house for a long weekend. The house was tidy when we returned and the dogs were well cared for. Ryan stayed at the house during the day working from home. it was perfect because our dogs are very accustomed to that. Thank you, Ryan!

Safety, trust & environment

🫶🏻 EXPECTED CARE: I take care of any pets under my care as if they are my own. I make sure they are not only taken care of in terms of potty breaks, food/water, but also in terms of mental stimulation and walks. My home is very dog friendly and I love playing with any of the dogs I get the chance to watch. There are a plethora of toys for your buddy to pick from! 😊 I aim to have your dog wagging their tail excited to come back and play when you go on your next trip!
