Pet care experience

Treats, walks, and belly rubs!

I cared for my family's special-needs senior dog for years, administering daily medication and eye drops until he passed at 12 years old. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how rewarding it is to care for animals who need a little extra help. I also love spending time with friends' and family's pets — both dogs and cats! As an energetic person, I enjoy heading to the park for fresh air and playtime with your furry friend.

Safety, trust & environment

In my own home, pets have a calm, comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime, and a consistent routine. In a client's home, I follow their existing routine closely — sticking to feeding schedules, medication needs, and house rules — so pets feel safe and settled in their familiar environment.

I can’t recommend Ryan enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. He’s incredibly patient, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. Whether it’s an energetic dog that pulls on walks or a senior pet with extra medical needs, he handles every situation with confidence and care. He has experience caring for dogs that require medications, including eye drops, ear drops, and oral medications, so I always feel comfortable knowing pets are in capable hands. He’s also great at managing dogs with challenging leash manners and gives them the exercise and attention they need while keeping them safe. And it’s not just dogs—cats absolutely seem to adore him too! He’s calm, attentive, and takes the time to make even shy cats feel comfortable. Any pet would be lucky to spend time with him, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with my own animals.

I highly recommend Ryan for any pet care needs. He is absolutely wonderful with animals and has a natural, caring way with them. Ryan is incredibly attentive and always makes sure the pets he is looking after are happy and comfortable.  He has a special place in his heart for weiner dogs, which are his favorite, but he truly loves all animals. I was especially touched by how much he loves my cats; they took to him immediately, which is rare for them. It is clear that he genuinely enjoys spending time with pets, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my animals are in his care. You can always trust Ryan to treat your furry family members as if they were his own.
