Availability
Pet care fits well into my routine. I'm currently completing a chemical engineering internship Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, so I'm available before work, in the evenings, and on most weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. During the fall and spring semesters, I'm a full-time college student, so my schedule varies each semester. However, I'm good at planning ahead and keeping my availability up to date so I can provide reliable care and clear communication.

Safety, trust & environment
Every pet and home is different, so I always take the time to learn each owner's preferences and follow their routines and house rules closely. In my own home, I generally don't allow dogs on furniture, but I'm happy to maintain whatever rules and training standards a pet is used to in their owner's home. Safety is my top priority. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, receive plenty of attention and exercise, and are always supervised appropriately. I also pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, especially when caring for pets in a new environment. I treat every home with respect and strive to provide dependable, trustworthy care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
Information Ryan W. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their personality, daily routine, and any special needs. It's especially helpful to know how they interact with people and other animals, any medical conditions or medications, dietary restrictions, favorite toys or activities, and any fears or triggers. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I like to tailor my care to their personality and energy level. A typical day includes walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and plenty of attention and affection. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just relaxing with company, I'm happy to keep them engaged and comfortable. I'll also make sure they stick to their normal routine and provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

Keeping Pets Happy, Active & Safe
Pet care experience
I've been caring for dogs for about 8 years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Every dog I've owned has been a rescue, so I've learned the importance of patience, building trust, and helping dogs feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I cared for my Border Collie/Husky mix from through his senior years, giving me experience with the changing needs of aging dogs. I also currently have a 75-pound Pit Bull mix back home, so I'm comfortable handling larger, high-energy breeds as well. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel secure, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
