A Dog Parent Who Understands it all

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m an energetic, extroverted sitter with a true passion for dogs. I love the unconditional love and compassion dogs have for humans. I love the companionship dogs offer — whether it’s joining you for late night run or an early morning jog, they’re always up for the challenge. Dogs innately understand how to communicate with humans in the most fascinating ways, like using eye contact or interpreting your body language. Dogs are goofy bundles of joy that turn any frown upside down! I grew up always having dogs in my family. In most instances I played a very influential role in training, caring, grooming and feeding them. I currently own two of my own dogs, an American Pit Bull Mix and a Pure Bred Belgian Maloins, both of which are medium to large breed dogs. My Pit has various allergies, so I have hands-on experience noticing the onset symptoms of an allergy and handling medical treatment — I have experience administering various types of medications. Over the years I have learned a lot about training dogs. My experience with dogs also includes dog sitting for friends and family when they were on vacation. In addition to dogs, I have owned a variety of reptiles, fish, hamsters and birds over the years. I love all animals. I do my best to respond to all messages and phone calls in a timely fashion. I like to keep doggie parents updated accordingly throughout their fur babies stay. I will be sure to capture priceless moments so that doggie parents can feel like they’re a part of their pup’s memorable stay. Pet parents will always be able to contact me — your pet’s care and safety are my top priorities. I love spending my free time with my own two dogs. I take my dogs on a jog most evenings. I always plan out hikes or adventures to the dog beach/ dog park on Saturdays and Sundays (weather permitting). I am always happy to take company along with me — the more the better!

Ryan is fantastic with dogs, he always takes great care of my two German Shepherds when we go out of town. He always makes sure to keep us updated, sends us pictures and ultimately makes sure they are cared for. The dogs love Ryan, they always have a great time together. I highly recommend Ryan.

Ryan is professional, reliable, and a great person. Me and my dog are thrilled to know him. I know I can count on Ryan when I am running late and my dog needs to go out. He updates me with ETAs, pictures, and a report while always following my directions! It is amazing to have someone you can trust be able to help you with a family member. My dog and I highly recommend Ryan and his services!

Ryan is always on the lookout for his pets. He treats animals like people, making certain that those under his care are short of nothing. He provides nutritious meals and frequent walks. Ryan is a hands on dog sitter making time for play, and rewards treats for good behaviour.

Information Ryan R. would like to know about your pet

I think a meet and greet is a great way for all of us to get to know one another, and I highly encourage them. I encourage parents to prepare a bio about your fur baby, including: likes and dislikes, if there are any triggers that upset the dog in any way, allergies, favorite types of play and activities, any bad habits, and known commands. I do not have any breed preferences, but do have lot of experience with medium to large breed dogs.

A typical day

I’ll spoil your pup with loads of attention and affection. We’ll be sure to take frequent walks and go to the dog park to run freely, play and socialize with other dogs. I encourage games of fetch and tug of war. I treat dogs who stay with me as though they were my own, and update the owners throughout their stay. There are multiple places I enjoy taking dogs on walks, like Santa Monica along the Pacific Ocean. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks at Kenneth Hann State Park where there’s no shortage of nature, and the Culver City area. If we’re feeling low-key, we’ll take a casual walk around the neighborhood.
