Dog Lovers Unite!

Pet care experience

I have a people-friendly cat and an energetic but lazy at times dog. I have taken my dogs to obedience classes so I know positive reinforcement and proper handling of interactions. All of which help alleviate any stress a dog may feel when meeting a new person and being in an unfamiliar environment. Communication is big with me and I promise to have my phone on me at all times and am open to having owners check-in with their dog via the Rover App’s messaging feature. I believe it's important to have this because you are trusting someone with a loved family member as I would feel with my own dogs. Expect a lot of photos! I also have experience working at a veterinary hospital and dog groomers.

Great service, great attitude, great guy. Will totally rebook if you’ll have my pup again.

Ryan was consistent in providing updates every day. My dog felt really at home at his place and I would definitely book with him again.

Ryan was friendly, communicative, and did a great job checking in on my cat on short notice! I'd highly recommend him for anyone needing a sitter or stop in!

Information Ryan O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how much supervision your pet requires. Since I work from home I am able to keep an eye on them closely but I may have meetings that go as long as 2-4 hours. It would be helpful to know of experiences you and your pet had with other sitter so I know what works and doesn’t work.

A typical day

If I get recurring visits/walks I would take them around stores once I have a good sense of how your dog interacts with people and things. I personally enjoy taking my dogs to Home Depot and Old Orchard Mall.

I work full-time 9-5 but from home. I try to also update my availability regularly for weekends. Booking requests made within 24 hours of preferred booking is unlikely to get accepted depending on plans I’ve already made but please don’t hesitate to ask!
