Pet care experience

I’ll love your animal(s) as though they were my own! 20+ year owner and trusted caretaker of numerous dogs & other animals. I’m an “avid” communicator, and will give you updates along the way - as detailed (or not), as you wish. Experienced administering medications and injections (had a diabetic bichon previously), also basic animal first aid. Experienced with all temperaments, small and large (size and feelings 🙂).

Ryan is a great house sitter. He has a terrific job of keeping us up to date on how the pets are doing and takes very good care of the house. We've used them a couple of times and would recommend him to anyone.

Great at keeping us up to date on our dogs. House was in great condition and I'd use him again.

Ryan has a true love of animals and is especially great at understanding and adjusting to their needs. I have seen firsthand how focused and attentive he is: from our family dog to numerous of his own, he has shown he knows how to handle even the most sticky situations. An example he once acted quickly when our dog ingested a human medication (at no fault of his own), but was poisonous, he acted immediately and called animal poison control and knew exactly how to successfully/correctly dose hydrogen peroxide (which he keeps in his car) to induce vomiting. Needless to say, the dog was completely fine due to his quick action and calm focus given what could be for some, a very scary situation. I fully recommend Ryan to care for your dog or any animal for that matter.

we’ve known ryan for over 10 years and he is one of the most caring and trustworthy people we know. he loves his own animals and has taken care of ours several times when we are out of town . We’ve had anywhere from one dog to two dogs; to one cat to two cats, and we fully trust they are in good care with him. He treats them like his own and has lots of energy to play, or for walks. Highly recommended!!
