Pet care experience
Hi everyone! I’m happy to be accepting new clients. I take walks every day and love to bring pups along for the journey. I'm a runner and gym goer, so I'm able to provide frequent exercise to dogs who need it, or stay inside with dogs who prefer to chill. I'm a former Rhodesian Ridgeback owner and I've previously worked as a walker for Pupwalkr Dog Walking, Wag!, Dog Tails, and at the PAWS animal shelter. I embrace all dogs with love and care. Giant breeds, toy breeds, puppies to adult, with all forms of temperament are welcome, as long as they are bathed with reasonable frequency! I also have experience in behavioral training. I support a variety of personalities and adjust to each pup's needs for attention, or individual space. Would love to hear from you!
Reviews
Excellent dog sitter! Ryan was great, sent plenty of photos and updates and took great care of Fenris.
This was my second time using Ryan and he was absolutely great with my two shih tzu’s. He asks a lot of questions and is very attentive. I love that he sends multiple pictures a day and shares how they are doing. I look forward to booking with him again soon. Thanks again Ryan!
Ryan was wonderfully flexible and sent lots of sweet pics of our pup.
Excellent care and service - Ryan was very adaptable and flexible when our flight was cancelled and moved he immediately agreed to come by for extra visits. We highly recommend him for any care taking needs as he is incredibly reliable and great with our timid cats.

I'm very attentive to what dogs communicate and simply allow them to tell me what they want. I live in a spacious studio with an area rug and hard wood floors.

Information Ryan W. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know temperament, need for exercise, and if your pup is potty-trained. I'd also like to know if your pup is not leash-trained, not good with other dogs, or not friendly to strangers.
A typical day
We’ve got a lot of safe side streets for walks where I live. I also drive so I can take your pup to a nearby dog park. The possibilities are endless, really!

I'm an author by vocation and pet care is my part-time job. I am typically at home when I’m not out running errands, so can be in the house with pets.
