Highlights
Pet care experience
Practically raised with dogs.
First Aid and CPR Certified 2026. I've always had dogs in the house and with family. Relied upon for dog sitting for extended periods and always happy to make new dog friends. I find it very easy to befriend dogs I've just met and go out of my way to give them attention. Highly experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. Life-long experience with collies, spaniels and crossbreeds, so I'm used to high energy dogs as well as more docile older dogs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a detached home with a walled garden and several park options nearby. My house has a spacious kitchen diner with tiled floors and access to the garden, so there will be plenty of clean, safe space for any and all dogs to utilise. Local walks can be made to vary in length very easily to suit the energy levels of the dog. And in recent years I've cared for 4 high energy, intelligent dogs simultaneously, though one of them is now significantly older she still likes to play in high intensity bursts.
Ratings and reviews
Ryan was great with my cat Chai and took really great care of him. He followed the care instructions and was really good about providing frequent updates.
Ryan is the best person I've ever seen with dogs. I left my dog in his home for just over a week while I was on holiday. My dog jango is usually very wary of men but immediately on first meeting, jango ran straight up to Ryan and his ears went flat that he usually reserves for greeting family, I was immediately relieved! My dog has a bowel disease which means he can't eat a lot of things (dairy, gluten, most meat) and takes daily medicines. Explaining that to Ryan he took it very seriously and I was glad to see his home was spotless when I brought jango - if there's any crumbs of anything he'll sniff them out and be sick for days. I knew he followed my instructions on what food to give him and how often, as usually when I pick jango up from other people he's sick for a few days once he's home so I know he's had something he shouldn't have - but when I picked him up from Ryan he was absolutely fine and full of energy. I will absolutely be using Ryan in future, thank you so taking such good care of jango!
Ryan helped look after our 1 year old dachund! He was fantastic, can't recommend enough. Very flexible in working around our needs and kept us up to date.
Ryan is a natural with dogs they took to him immediately. Looked like he had known them forever with cuddles and kisses straight away, updates were given when asked and would definitely be using him again, nothing was too much trouble.
Ryan is an active, fun and also caring person. I've known Ryan for over 5 years now, and trust him completely to not only care responsibly for our pup with knowledge on his needs, but also provide an energetic and fulfilling experience. Ryan has looked after our Swedish Vallhund for weekends and he has developed a great bond with our pup. I recommend him for any level of caregiving for pets, and especially for high energy and active dogs that want a lot of attention.

Schedule
I'm looking to transition into either part-time dog-sitting and walking or full time dog-sitting and walking as a career depending on how much work there is to offer. In either case I will be offering long term or short term options to care for most if not all dog care needs.
