I'm just here for the animals

Pet care experience

I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I can't imagine living a life without fur babies, and I probably spoil mine a bit too much, but I can't help it when they give me those eyes. I have owned a total of 3 dogs in the last 8 years, a hound Mastiff mix who unfortunately passed away a few months ago, my German Shepherd, Reyha, and my Husky, Odin. They are two of the best dogs I've ever met. I take pride in how I've raised and trained them. They listen to commands, and for the most part (Odin can be hard headed) always come when called. I also own a cat and 2 birds, and the entire household of animals gets along so well, and I like to think it has to do with the care and consideration I put into introducing them to each other and training them to be kind to each other. I love all types of animals, big or small, and I have yet to meet a dog that didn't love me back!

Ryan was fantastic with our cat Finn! We couldn't have asked for a kinder and more informative sitter. 10/10, we'll definitely be using Ryan again!

Ryan was responsive, reliable, and took great care of our dog Coyi, she clearly loved him. I would book Ryan again without hesitation!

I'm so happy I reached out to Ryan to take care of my precious babies! He was really easy to communicate with and even got my fat kitty to play! He sent ample pictures and he got my scared-of-everyone cat to come out and be friendly. I'll for sure be reusing Ryan and I would highly recommend him if you care about your pets and want someone there who cares about them too. I was nervous to use this service but I'm really glad I hired Ryan!

Ryan communicated well, and was great with my cat. My cat warmed up to him quickly, which he normally doesn't do with people, so I was quite pleased!

Information Ryan V. would like to know about your pet

I welcome any and all dogs. I would definitely love to do a meet and greet before hand so I can try to get the dog accustomed to me, and comfortable with me. That way, when the time comes for us to go for walks, they trust me to take care of them.

A typical day

I like to go to the Crystal Lake area near my house, but obviously I will find a good area for wherever you are located that can be fun and adventurous while also maintaining a safe play environment for the animals.
