They are my sole focus! 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals from chickens, ducks, rodents of all kinds, even the wild creatures I found outside I was compelled to love, to cats and dogs. At the moment I no longer own any pets, which allows me to provide the luxury of solitude for your animal if requested! Animal care has come naturally to me at a young age, but I believe a great level of maturity and responsibility is needed when you’re in charge of a life. A level I can guarantee to provide. I pride myself on my reliability and consideration when handling any task. I’ll want to make sure I am handling your pet with the exact care you desire, so I always ask a series of prepared questions prior to their care date. Please don’t hesitate to include any details you feel I need to know though!

Ryan is great! Quick responses, always leaves my place clean, and always sends excellent pictures of the cats.

Ryan did a wonderful job taking care of our cat! We loved getting updates from her and can’t wait to hire her again in the future!

Ryan was a fantastic sitter for our dog Izzy. She’s extremely professional and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. She’s timely with communication and keep us updated throughout the stay with photos/videos/written updates. She gave us back a tired and happy pup! Would love to work with Ryan again in the future!

Ryan sent tons of videos and pictures and always kept me updated. My pup, Milo, came home very happy and tired from being at the park all day. 10/10!

BOARDING PETS FROM DIFFERENT FAMILIES DETAILS BELOW I don’t have a yard, but I live right next to the Lady Bird trail and there is an off leash dog park 10 steps from my building! There are other parks further down the trail as well, so based on their exercise and social needs is where we’ll end up! As mentioned above, I do not own any pets so yours would be the only housemate unless you’re comfortable with other client’s pets. I follow a strict set of rules when boarding animals strangers to one another: -Both owners must agree -The owner who booked first always receives final say -The pets need to be introduced prior to the boarding date I will ask you first what special treatment or consideration your pet requires. I am open to your delegation, but if you feel none is needed then I will use my better judgement and put the safety and comfortability of your fur baby as my utmost priority.

Information Ryan U. would like to know about your pet

If they have any odd habits or require special attention in any areas please let me know. Is there any position that gives them overwhelming anxiety? For example, my family owns a 185lb South African dog breed and he gets tremendous anxiety if a new person hovers over him too close.

A typical day

I love walking the trail and going to Zilker Park and would absolutely bring your dog along with me (with owner permission). I have a lot of options at my disposal for their exercise and will happily take them anywhere you’re comfortable with. I’m also open to any special requests, especially for our water lovers since we’ll have to avoid the river. It’d be a great reason to explore new areas! If they have any puzzle toys they enjoy, please pack those as well! Mental stimulation is just as beneficial as physical!

I currently set my own hours so I am extremely flexible with my schedule. When your animal is in my care, they are my top priority and my day revolves around them. They will receive focused supervision (both outdoors and indoors) and consistent attention as I am home all day. However, the gym is a priority of mine so I do like to fit that in daily. The walking will be an added bonus to my athletic grind so I enjoy staying outside as long as they want (being mindful of the heat).
