Pet care experience

Zookeeper looking to care for pets!

I am a zookeeper so I absolutely love animals! I’ve had pets my whole life. Currently I have a fish. Just recently my cat passed away, and my dog passed away 2.5 years ago. I’m looking to help others out by watching and taking care of their fur children. I am good at walking, basic training, medicating and snuggling with pets. Most of my experience is watching pets of friends and family. Willing to care for dogs, cats, birds, fish and some other critters.

Safety, trust & environment

I am free most evenings. I am willing to house sit/pet sit at my client’s house. I will follow routine and instructions for pet care, feeding and walking schedules, and clean up. I am also willing to do house checks to feed, medicate and let out pets for bathroom breaks.

Ryan has a way with animals. He speaks cat, dog, fish, and I’m sure the language of the zoo animals fluently. I have a giant breed dog that is leash reactive and he is so calming and gentle with him. He knows what my pup needs and helps him get it. He’s also helped me acclimate my kitties. Thanks Ryan!

I highly recommend Ryan to watch your fur babies! As a professional zookeeper and animal care staff, he has extensive experience caring for animals and truly understands their needs and behaviors. He is responsible, compassionate, and genuinely loves every animal he cares for like they are his own. He’s the best and my pets love him!! :)

Ryan is a deeply responsible caregiver. I have and would trust him with any and all of my pets. He is extremely capable and not daunted by special needs. I cannot recommend him enough.

Schedule

I work 8-5 on a rotating schedule, meaning my off days change weekly. I can check in on pets before and after work and also before bed. I am also willing to stay with pets at your home so they feel secure and someone is with them in the evening and morning.
