Information Ryan R. would like to know about your pet

Personality, routines. An item that will get their attention if you need help with control. Such as a toy or treat. Places pup likes to go. Best way to get them to come inside if they are not responding to.your call.

A typical day

Socialization with other dogs if approved is good fun. Going down by a park, lake, or a place where the owner likes to take their pup can be great as well!

Pet care experience

Dogs are my life. I am a home based dog groomer by day! Your pet would be home with me at all times so they are never alone. I do not cage any pet unless it is for its own safety. The environment they are in is much more intimate as I only take a few dogs at a time. I have a large open yard and my house is completely set up for dog sitting and daycare. Regular walks are very important and happen often! Dogs receive regular walks as needed. I am available for short or long term stays. I have a lot of experience with all breeds as well as different dog personalities. Medications are no problem. I have very flexible pickup and drop-off times. I hope I may be of service to you. You can see references from my 15 years of service on my Rover profile.

IT WAS ALL GOOD UNTIL I GOT A CALL FROM A STRANGER THAT HAD MY DOG! MY DOG HAD GOTTEN OUT OF RYAN'S CARE, I WASN'T INFORMED FROM HIM THAT MY DOG WAS MISSING AND WHEN I CALLED HIM, NO ANSWER AND HE TEXTED ME BACK ABOUT 40 MINS LATER THAT HE HAD HER AND SHE WAS "SAFE". THE PERSON THAT FOUND MY DOG TEXTED ME 2 DAYS AFTER O PICKED MY DOG UP AND SAID THAT RYAN LOSES DOGS ALL THE TIME AND WHEN SHE BROUGHT MY DOG BACK TO THE HOUSE, A LADY, NOT HIM, DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY DOG WAS GONE. THEY HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD ABOUT DOGS MISSING FROM THEM AND IT'S A CONSTANT ISSUE AND THEY NEED TO BE REPORTED AND SHUT DOWN! I WILL BE REPORTING THIS INCIDENT AND WILL NEVER USE THIS SITTER AGAIN! MY BABY IS TRAUMATIZED!

Leo seemed to have had a great time this past weekend in Ryan’s care. Ryan was quick to respond when I asked him how Leo was doing, which I greatly appreciated!

Thank you for taking such good care of Theo! He came home happy after being able to play with other dogs for a few days. We will definitely book again!

Was flexible with pickup and drop off time. However, personally didnt like that I had to reach out after 24 hours for an update and never did receive any photos over the pet sitting duration. The pups also had a pretty strong smell and needed a bath immediately upon getting home.
