Safety, trust & environment

Some people say that I'm a "dog magnet." It's not unusual for dogs, even unfamiliar ones, to instinctively be drawn to me. I also make sure to read any messages or printouts about care and routines so I can get a good idea of the How, What, and Where.

Information Ryan S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog is taking medication or has other special needs. I also find it helpful (especially in the beginning) to know about your dog's routine; Where you typically go on a walk together, favorite toys and treats, and any recent changes I should be aware of.

A typical day

When I arrive, I greet your dog and read any notes left for me. If everything is business as usual, I start the normal care routine. And I like to add some play time so your pets can have fun and get mental stimulation.

Your dog won't have a ruff time!

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a part of my life since I was young. We had a dog growing up, and I've taken care of other people's dogs too. Many dogs seem to instinctively get a good reading of me and warm up to me quickly.

Ryan has taken care of my dog, Lucky, multiple times. He is truly the best! He is responsible and makes sure to ask for details about Lucky’s routines. He keeps in contact, sending updates, pictures, and videos. Lucky loves it when Ryan comes to take care of him! I would recommend Ryan for sure!!
