Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog walker and trainer
I’ve been taking care of a large dog since I was in elementary school. Since then I’ve expanded to multiple neighborhood pets. I can help in basic training for dogs. My other job at is also pet friendly so I am constantly around animals. Depending how much energy your pet has I can take them for short walks or on larger hikes if you are comfortable.
Cat care experience
Ryan also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
If you want your mind to be completely at ease while you’re away, book with Ryan. He asked good questions before hand made sure to understand all of my dogs needs. I received frequent updates about my dog while I was away. My dog was walked multiple times a day and came back happy and healthy. Not enough good things to say. Great experience, I highly recommend using Ryan.
Ryan is incredible and we will definitely ask him to help Us out again. We needed cat sitting for a week as our outdoor baby is very affectionate and loves being around someone. We also needed someone to help with letting people in and out for daily household maintenance which Ryan was able to do. Timely, clean and kind, we highly recommend Ryan.
Amazing!! He went above and beyond. Definitely rebooking.
Very professional, asked all the appropriate questions to ensure a safe walk. Pictures showed my pup Leo having a fun walk. Glad he’s available to walk again:)
Ryan did an excellent job taking care of our Miniature Pinscher who is a bit of a challenging dog. Ryan took him on a long walk of 30-40 minutes every day and spent lots of quality time with him. Much better than a kennel. When we got home the dog was very relaxed and well cared for. Ryan is very tidy. We would absolutely use him again!!
Ryan walked Carly 3 times during our visit in Santa Cruz. He was wonderful with Carly and we so appreciate all his care. Thank you Ryan!

Schedule
I am a tax preparer with a history of pet sitting. Both of my housemates are also pet sitters. Between the three of us someone is always ready to take care of the pet guests.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can do any feeding and cleaning up after pets. I am very active so if needed I can make sure they get lots of extra energy out playing.
A typical day
I’m extremely active so I like to run around and play with dogs. I can keep up with them for a long time. There is a secluded small dog park right in front of my place. I tend to only bring dogs there when it is empty.

- Working with dogs for so many years has taught me how to handle situations that may arise. How your dog typically reacts to other dogs, bikers, and cars is the most important information to me.
