About Ryan M.

Safety, trust & environment
I always make note of the nearest animal emergency hospital, check in routinely with you, take photos and make sure you know your baby is in good hands. Given my medical background I am always on alert for any changes in behavior or physical ailments and know when something is serious or minor.
Information Ryan M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any anxieties, stressors or fears your pet may have. Any medications they are on, any allergies. If they have any friends in the neighborhood or places we should avoid on our walks.
A typical day
I’m always ready to break out the cat nip, string, chew toy or favorite ball for your pets! There’s so many great walking trails and areas to walk around or a nice walk around the James or York river. Or if you have a senior pet I also am never upset to give some cuddles and relax on the couch together.

Vet Tech who loves all fur babies
Pet care experience
I've been a veterinary technician for 8 years so your pet will always be around someone who has a medical background. I've worked with everything from Horses to birds to livestock to dogs and cats and reptiles. I'm also certified Fear Free which means I know how to handle pets who are scared or anxious. You can never have a bad day when you're around animals. I'm very active and if your pet likes going for hikes or running around the park that sounds like a fun time for me too! I have a large car so taking them for a hike or a swim is never a problem. My background sets me apart from the rest. I can't wait to provide great care to your pets! I always have a slip lead with me. Meaning your pet will always be walked with two leashes for safety while out and about. My training that I’ve learned from being a veterinary technician also means that your pet has the best eyes on them at all times when I’m around.
Reviews
Short answer: Ryan is the BEST petsitter/house sitter, definitely book them!! 5 out of 5 stars!! Long answer: Ryan was so kind and communicative from the start--we set up a meet and greet so they could meet our two kitties. Our cats have some quirks and also need a lot of quality human attention or else they become very strained/agitated. When we got back from our two-week trip, it was clear that Ryan loved/tended to our cats the way they needed to be. Our cats were happy, calm (as possible), and even well-brushed (we have a long-haired cat who becomes VERY easily matted)! Ryan frequently sent updates of our cats well-being, and cute pictures as well! Through Ryan's updates, it was clear that they were really understanding and "tuned-in" to our cats personalities/needs. Once we were already on our trip, we realized that we forgot to do a few important tasks before we left, but Ryan came to the rescue and was happy to help out! The house itself was in perfect condition, Ryan even washed the towels and bedsheets. I honestly couldn't write a better review, I am so grateful for Ryan--their presence gave us peace of mind even though we were an ocean away from our kitties. I would DEFINITELY recommend Ryan to a friend/book them again.
I highly recommend Ryan for any pet care related services. I am usually super nervous about leaving my anxious pittie rescue under the care of a dog walker, but I knew she was in good hands with Ryan. I was able to breathe easy and enjoy myself. Thank you so much, Ryan!!
Ryan was great! Super friendly and professional. Would definitely book again.
Haylie is a great dog walker! Communicates well and is a a genuine pet-lover. I highly recommend!
