Fun exercise and mental stimulation

Pet care experience

I have been caring for household pets since I was a kid. I would watch pets for family and neighbors while they were out of town. Or just stopping by during the day to walk the dog and make sure they are fed and happy. Currently I volunteer at the Michigan Humane Society as a member of the behavior modification group. I have 2 dogs of my own (Ferda and Cruz) they are both large dogs 105 and 65 lbs, so I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperament's. I am also fully able to safely walk multiple dogs at once and make sure they stay under control. I have earned a Canine Specialist certificate through SCI as well as a certificate in animal first aid and CPR through ProPetHero. Along with having fun with your dog I can also bathe and brush your dog if needed, whether your dog is muddy and stinky or just needs a basic shed brushing I can provide a calm relaxing experience for your dog.

Ryan was so great and loving with our dog! He's easy to work with and I know my dog is safe with him. I could tell he's very experienced and will be using him in the future!

I highly recommend Ryan. His passion for dogs and his calm and friendly nature makes walks and playtime engaging and enjoyable for my little 4lb Yorkie, Lola. Ryan is flexible and works around my schedule, and he goes above and beyond to make sure that Lola is well taken care of when I'm working. And he always sends me updates on the highlights of his visits. Ryan has also been a huge help with training for Lola. Ryan really connects with Lola and works with her on sit, stay, lay down, walking on a leash, and other basic commands.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard with 2 friendly dogs who love to play fetch and tug. They also value their rest time. I am able to crate your dog if needed and also have a separate room that is set aside for a cat living area full of toys and climbable cat trees and wall mazes, or for a dog training room as needed.

Information Ryan W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know anything that you think that I need to know in order to make your dog as comfortable as possible. Let me know your dogs name, breed, size and gender also if your dog needs any special attention such as medications or medical devices. Also you can let me know where and how they like to be pet or scratched. Anything that will help your dog be more comfortable

A typical day

Dogs need not only physical exercise but also mental stimulation. With me your dog will adventure through neighborhoods and parks investigating all the new smells.
