Pet care experience
My wife and I currently have one resident senior dog that we adopted in 2012, as well as a sweet dog that we're fostering through Two by Two Animal Rescue. We've found fostering to be a very rewarding experience. Dogs have been a huge part of my life and I'm excited for the opportunity to enrich the lives of many more. I have experience training with my personal pets. Several of them I had since they were puppies. I have animal training experience from working with sea lions in college. In high school, I worked as a kennel attendant at a local veterinary clinic. I also am trusted by friends and family for dog training and walking advice. I haven't received formal dog training experience, but have been extensively watching training videos on YouTube, and have attended a few classes at PetSmart.
Reviews
I know I never need to worry about my fur babies when they are in Ryan's care. He's extremely conscientious about their care as if they were his own. I look forward to their report cards every time!
Ryan was awesome with our two fur babies. It was a pleasure getting his pictures/updates and seeing my babies be happy. It took a lot of stress from me knowing Ryan was going to be there to take care of them and give them lots of love. He was very conscientious about their care. We will definitely book Ryan again!
It is very apparent that Ryan loves animals. He treats our dog like his own. He is very patient and conscientious with him. I would recommend Ryan to anyone needing someone to care for their dog. Jeanette T.
Ryan is very knowledgeable on most things related to dogs. He is quick to answer or help me with any dog related questions/concerns. Ryan is very good at teaching dogs skills. He is very patient with animals. I highly recommend Ryan for all your dog needs!

During my time with your furbaby, I will treat him/her like one of my own. I'll be sure to follow any instructions you provide for feeding schedule, walks, medications, etc. As a homeowner myself, I understand the need for peace of mind with someone new coming into your home. Rest assured that I will treat your home with respect.
Information Ryan T. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me about your dog's temperament and likes/dislikes so I can plan fun activities to do on our walks. What level of leash walking skills do they have? Are they experts at fetch or just starting to play? Do they play with frisbees? Do they love hiking, or would they prefer to just go to the park and sit in the grass watching the world around them?
A typical day
We have an amazing pet friendly nature preserve that I would love to let your dog explore. I have experience tiring out high energy dogs through mental and physical exercise.
