Animals are family!

Pet care experience

Ive taken care of animals my entire life. Senior dogs/cats, puppies/kittens and dogs with behavioral issues or quirks. Particular experience with large and extra large dog breeds. I am also comfortable with rabbits, chickens and fish. In my personal life, I am a biochemistry PhD student at UT. I take care of my own dogs, cats, rabbit and chickens daily. They are my family and I’d be more than happy to take care of yours as well.

Ryan was available on really short notice, was great to work with, and took fantastic care of our cat! Would definitely recommend!

If you need a pet sitter, Ryan is your guy! Ryan is such a sweet and caring person who loves all animals!! If I needed him to watch my cats and rabbits, he is the first person I would ask! He is a very thoughtful individual that will make sure your animals are taken care of and have the extra attention while you are away! As he has many diverse pets himself (chickens, cats, a rabbit, and two dogs), he knows how to make any animal comfortable and happy :) Hire Ryan to look over your fur babies!!

Ryan is impressive when it comes to animal care. As the son of a vet, I have personally met few individuals that puts as much time and effort into caring for their own animals as I have seen with Ryan. He owns a couple of large dogs, a couple of cats, a bunny, and a number of chickens, so he is no stranger to the hefty requirements of pet ownership and care. Ryan works as a graduate student in a biochemistry research lab, which is an environment that requires maturity, responsibility, and attention-to-detail. All of these characteristics are hallmarks of Ryan's personality. Simply put, the man loves all animals, but especially dogs, and will make an exceptional dog sitter.

Ryan has a gift with animals and is very reliable. He cares for all animals as if they were his own. He has rescued stray animals and given them homes. These include rabbits, cats, dogs and chickens who are living their best lives! I recommend you let Ryan’s big heart help care for your animals.
