If I could give Ryan more than 5 stars, I definitely would. He’s a phenomenal dog caretaker and really went above and beyond to make sure mine felt happy, comfortable and safe while I was away.

Ryan is the nicest guy, clearly loves animals, and is very honest and trustworthy. I was able to have a carefree weekend away and I hope to use him next time! I normally travel with my dog all over the place and if I am unable to bring him somewhere, I only leave him with family. I had a last minute trip and no one was able to watch him this time so I was at first a little worried about finding a stranger on Rover to leave my baby with. However, my worries quickly subsided when my dog, Tux met Ryan at our meet and greet and he instantly fell in love with him. Ryan spent 4 nights at my apartment with my older mini schnoodle. He updated me with pics each day and checked in along the way. When I came home, I found my place was spotless and maybe even cleaner than I left it for him. He even managed to wash his towels!!!! Tux was actually noticeably sad when Ryan left so I know that he had a good time and will be glad to see him again.

I was in a pinch today and couldn’t get home to my dog midday on Saturday. Ryan was able to squeeze my dog in to his schedule and was so great. He was very communicative and great with my dog. Highly recommend him! Thanks Ryan!

Information Ryan S. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to disclose any information you feel is important for the care of your pet. I am pretty thorough about having that conversation with clients before hand anyway. Meet and greats are always a plus if time and schedules allow.

A typical day

I don't necessarily have a typical day. I tend to cater to each individual pet and their needs. I have some pets that just prefer to lounge around and walk only when needed, while others enjoy playing throughout the day and taking long walks. I adapt to what is necessary.
