Pet care experience
Your dog’s (stand in) best friend!
Hi there! I'm Ryan, and for the past 13 years, I've dedicated myself to caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From laser focused hunting dogs to playful Lab puppies and sweet senior beagles, I’ve walked, played with, and nurtured them all. Whether your pup needs a high-energy run, a calm stroll, or some gentle companionship, I tailor each booking to suit their unique needs. I understand that life can be unpredictable, so I offer flexible scheduling and prompt communication to keep things stress-free. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds that need structured outlets, young puppies just learning the ropes, and older dogs who appreciate a slower pace and a caring touch. You can trust that your furry family member will be treated with love, respect, and professionalism every step of the way. Let’s get your pup the exercise and attention they deserve!

Ratings and reviews
Ryan’s great with our Australian Shepherd. She knows how to keep up with her energy and loves taking her to the dog park where she can run and play off-leash. She’s patient, responsible, and always makes sure our girl gets plenty of exercise and social time. We trust her completely and appreciate how much she cares about our dog’s happiness.
She has been fantastic with our playful pug puppy. She knows exactly how to handle his little bursts of energy and keeps him engaged and happy during their walks. She is patient, kind, and very reliable. We always feel confident leaving our pup in her care and appreciate the regular updates. We couldn’t ask for a better dog walker!
Ryan took great care of our lazy cat while we were away. Even though he’s not exactly high-maintenance, she still gave him plenty of attention and made sure everything was just right—litter, food, and even his little routines. She sent updates, which we really appreciated, and it was clear he was comfortable with her. Super reliable and thoughtful—we’d definitely ask her again!
Ryan has been awesome with our two German Shorthairs. They’ve got tons of energy and are a handful, but she handles them like a champ. They're different ages, so she tailors the walk to fit both of their needs—which I really appreciate. They come back happy and worn out every time. She’s dependable, easy to work with, and clearly loves dogs. Couldn’t ask for a better walker.
Ryan has been an absolute blessing for our blind, senior dog. Her patience, gentleness, and understanding of her needs put us completely at ease. She took the time to guide her carefully, always making sure she felt safe and comfortable. It’s rare to find someone so compassionate and attentive—our dog adored her, and so do we!
Ryan was amazing with our energetic Doodle puppy, especially during the winter months! She never missed a walk, no matter the snow or cold, and always made sure our pup got the exercise and attention he needed. Her experience and genuine love for dogs gave us total peace of mind. We’re so grateful for the care and dedication she provided!

I grew up with dogs and cats, so I understand how to create a safe, calm, and loving environment—even for high-energy or rowdy pets. You can trust that they’ll be treated like family!

A typical day
These boots were made for walking! As an avid walker myself, taking your pup for walks around the neighborhood is my speciality. If your dog prefers a little variety, I’m very familiar with all the walking trails in Papillion! If your dog needs less walking and more energizing play, we can take trips to the dog park or spend some one-on-one time playing fetch, tug of war, and more!
