Reliable, Honest, Caring Dogsitting
Pet care experience
My name is Ryan and I am 38 years old and married. I have been working in the oilfield but since the economic downturn in this industry I have been waiting tables/bartending in the evenings to make ends meet. My wife is a 1st grade teacher. We currently have 2 dogs (Border Collie and Border Collie Mix), 2 cats and 1 fish living with us as companions. I have had family pets since I was a baby. I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, birds, small animals (like rabbits, hamsters, etc.) and reptiles. I have experienced dogsitting for close family and friends. I can provide both in-home pet sitting or can check up on your dogs up to three times a day. I can feed them, play with them, let them out to use the bathroom, take them on walks, trips to the dog park as well as administer any oral medications. I am very good with skittish, nervous and shy dogs. My past experience with nervous dogs as well as my calm nature makes it easy for me to make your pet feel comfortable and relaxed. I understand how important and beneficial to their health and training it is to keep my dogs on a set schedule therefore I will provide a reliable service and effort to adhere to the same schedule that you already have. As a dog lover I understand the bond that can develop between a person and a dog and I will treat your pet(s) the same way that I treat and care for my own family.
Reviews
Ryan was amazing! He kept me updated the entire time we were away and sent me pictures of my pack too! I am extremely happy with his services and will definitely e using him again in the future! :)
Ryan is a true "good guy". He has a passion for adventure matched only by his love of animals. I've never met a more honest, caring person and would not only trust him unattended in my home, I would trust him with my pets. He is often the go to with animal and garden care questions and if after getting the answer you're still unsure, he'll go out of his way to show you what you need. A few years ago he found a puppy in distress. She had been attacked by a larger animal and was cowering under a truck. After searching for her parents, to no avail, he took her straight to his vet, paid for her care, and nursed her back to health while continuing to search for her family. After two weeks he finally handed her over to us. We had recently lost a beloved pet and he hoped her puppy love and frailty would help us through our grief. He was right. It's actions like those that speak to a man's character. If you must trust your pets to a stranger, he's the one you want.
Ryan is great with dogs. His own animals are very well trained and well taken care of. Any time we go out of town Ryan is the person who takes care of our dog/dogs. We know that they will be cared for and given the attention they need in our absence.
Ryan has a gift when it comes to caring for animals. Ryan has watched my dogs several times now. They know him so well that they get super excited when he is around! He is extremely mindful of them (what they need/water being full/bathroom time/treats etc.) and he treats them as if they were his own! I am very comfortable with leaving town knowing that my dogs are getting all that they need without me. I highly recommend Ryan to care for your furbabies while your away!
