Safety, trust & environment

Route Planning: I select safe walking routes, avoiding high-traffic areas and known hazards, to minimize risks. Weather Considerations: I monitor weather conditions, avoiding long walks during extreme temperatures Communication: I provide regular updates to pet owners, including photos and notes on their dog’s activities and well-being. Vigilance: I stay alert to potential hazards such as other animals, traffic, and environmental dangers to ensure the dog’s safety. Cleanliness: I carry waste bags and promptly clean up after the dog to maintain a clean environment.

Information Ryan O. would like to know about your pet

Exercise Needs and Preferences: Knowing their activity level and favorite ways to play or exercise helps me keep them engaged and happy. Bathroom Routines: Understanding their schedule for walks or litter box habits keeps them comfortable and avoids accidents. Comfort Items or Favorite Toys: Familiar items help a pet feel secure and happy. Training Cues and Commands: Understanding commands they’re familiar with helps maintain consistency and supports their training. Medical Conditions or Allergies: Knowing about any conditions, allergies, or specific medications helps prevent emergencies and ensures prompt care if issues arise. Dietary Restrictions: Understanding their diet, including any restrictions or feeding schedules, helps keep them healthy and comfortable. Owner’s Preferred Contact Method: Knowing how to quickly reach the owner for questions or updates is essential for seamless communication.

A typical day

On a typical day caring for dogs and cats, I make sure they receive the right balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship to keep them happy and healthy. While reporting back to the owner frequently.

Cat care experience

As a cat and dog owner, I understand the need for appropriate care for my pets. Caring for my family’s dogs and cats since childhood and taking care of friends pets while they were away on vacation has given me firsthand experience with daily pet care routines. My involvement with cats ranges from kittens to older cats. Through a connection I made during my volunteer work with Rawhide Rescue (where I helped dogs find homes), I further developed skills in helping to socialize cats for adoption from all backgrounds. I’m a part time University Student studying Computer Science. I also work part time managing my own business. I have a lot of free time and I would be happy to care for your pets! Let me know if I can be of any help!

Ryan was wonderful with both my dogs! He took great care of them, which made our family vacation completely stress-free. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
