Pet care experience
I've cared for all breeds and sizes of cats and dogs and various other creatures in my life since I was a child. I am force free/fear free. I don’t use any aversives with any animal. I follow the most up to date animal science and firmly believe that through positive reinforcement and giving animals agency to opt in or out of most situations is the best way to be in relationship with them. My first love was a husky mix named Dutchess. I was a rough and tumble three-year-old and she looked like a furry loaf of bread with rolled up newspapers for legs, who never let me out of her sight until the day she crossed over the rainbow bridge. And thus began my love affair with pretty much all animals. Each pet has their own unique personality and style. I adapt to your pet's needs and wants. If they want cuddles, if they want space, if they want to run around in the back yard and play catch or tug-o-war then that is what we are going to do! My aim is to make them and you, happy with the stellar care they are being given. Animals have always been an integral part of my life. I'm so excited to meet your furry little babes and of course to meet you too! :)
Reviews
So lucky to have found Ryan! Murphy was well-rested, happy and treated like a member of the family. I so appreciated all of the pictures and updates, I knew I could feel comfortable that he was well taken care of!
Ryan is amazing with both our big dogs. They just adore her! The real kicker was Bean (our mean old cat) took an immediate shine to her. 10 out of 10 stars dogs, cats, and humans agree! We will for sure be using Ryan again.
We were so thrilled to find Ryan to take care of our pup while we were away for the weekend! Communication was great, and the house was better than we left it!
The ABSOLUTE best!! We feel so very lucky!!

A typical day
I base this completely on the dog’s unique needs. Some doggos are very sensitive to new places, so it’s better for them to take walks around familiar sites, sounds and smells. Some even may not be able to take walks at this time so we’ll focus on enrichment activities at home. Others may be excited for a car trip to a woodsy trail or different neighborhood for a walk. We will discuss this during our initial conversation to determine the best plan for your pup.
