Pet care experience

All zoomies welcome here! :-)

I've had family dogs for 13 years, but started taking care of some of my neighbors' dogs 5 years ago, whether it be taking them for potty breaks or staying over at their house to give them attentive care. I work part time at a pet boarding place as a kennel tech, so I have lots of experience with many different breeds and temperaments of both cats and dogs. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkie to Saint Bernard, and have lots of experience caring for both puppies and senior pets that might need more rigorous attention.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am experienced at reading pet body language and adapting to how they respond. I am very communicative and will send lots of updates about your pet, including daily pictures of your fur babies! I can supply treats (with your approval) and can take them to parks and other places for walks, as I have a car and license. I'm dedicated to making sure your animal is as happy as can be :-)

Our furbabies can’t stop raving about Ryan, and neither can we! Ryan was extremely communicative and took the absolute best care of our pets. We’ve found our go-to sitter!

Ryan is amazing. Conscientious, attentive, caring, highly communicative. Ryan spent all summer coming to our house 1 sometimes 2x a day to let our 8 week old puppy out. With ever changing rules about puppy freedom activities with our VERY energetic older golden, she always asked what she could and couldn't let them do. I would hire Ryam 100x over she is amazing. 100/10. No notes.

Ryan was wonderful. I can tell she really loves animals and cares about her job. She followed through with everything that I requested her to do. She had no problem at all walking both of my dogs at the same time - which can be challenging! I hope to use her again but from what I understand she goes away to college soon and will return to Maryland for holidays and when her school has breaks.

We were very pleased with Ryan's care of our 3 cats. They had playtime and love, plus Ryan followed our instructions to the letter. We came home to a tidy house, which we appreciated. Thanks, Ryan!

Ryan was so good with our old girl, Henrietta! Photos throughout the day of a relaxed pup doing her favorite things made it easy to relax on our trip. Thank you, Ryan!

Schedule

I will be working part-time this summer, meaning that on the occasional days I work, I am available any time before 8am and then after 1-2pm. I can still stay over with your pet any day, that just means that on workdays, I would feed and walk them (And any other things necessary) before 8am, and then have to leave for work and then come back at 1-2. Whenever I am not actively at work, I can spend all my time caring for your pets!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Ryan can host up to 4 walks per day
Let me know what your dog's personality is like; if they're friendly to newcomers, nervous, etc.. I will accommodate their needs and adjust how I introduce myself to them/interact to make sure they're comfortable!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
