Safety, trust & environment

I have a long apartment with a fenced-in side yard. There are no other animals in the house, but there is another dog-loving roommate and we both have a lot of energy.

Information Ryan O. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what degree of separation anxiety they experience. The greatest manifestation of this, in my experience, is food aversion. So if you have any advice on getting a shy dog to eat. Any medical issues that the dog is experiencing, whether chronically or recent. If there are multiple dogs, I definitely want to know how they interact and they are ever prone to scuffles beyond the typical playing.

A typical day

Before I started Rover, I was very sedentary at home. I live near City Park, so the dogs I watch get a nice forest to jog around in daily.

I've got the time & love 4 your dog

Pet care experience

You might be thinking: "I'm not going to be able to find someone who loves my dog as much as I do." You probably haven't met me. Being able to nurture animals is a dream come true. It truly connects me to a sense of joy and personal fulfillment. I've grown up with dogs and cats & and am the go to person for family when they need someone trust-worthy to pet sit. I've also done volunteering and fostering for animal shelters. And after a long time spend with dogs, I've begun to learn practical techniques for training and conditioning.

Ryan was awesome with our retrievers. He house sat while we were away: fed them, stayed with them and even took the youngest to doggy daycare. He sent lots of photos to let us know everything was okay-which gave us peace of mind. If we needed to leave again, we’d fully trust Ryan to watch our pups in our house.

Ryan had big Clyde for four days of walks while we were out of town. As always on time and great handling Clyde! Thanks Ryan!

Ryan is conscientious, attentive to deal, kind, dog-loving -- he's the whole package!He was a support and trusted advisor to me on our recent trip when our older dog was not doing well. I cannot recommend him any more highly.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
