Pet care experience

Soulful, Grounded, Reliable

I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and truly see pets as family. Over the years, I’ve raised several dogs from puppies through their senior years, including my beloved cocker-poodle mix, Japhy, who lived an amazing 19 years. When Japhy was young, we spent countless hours playing frisbee, exploring trails, and going on adventures together. As he aged, I lovingly supported him through vision and hearing loss, giving him the patience, comfort, and care he needed in every stage of life. Four years ago, we welcomed our Bernedoodle, Juniper, into our family, along with two kittens who showed up as strays on our front porch. My wife and I worked hard to rescue and care for abandoned kittens, making sure they felt safe, loved, and at home. I’m known for having a calm, grounded energy that animals naturally respond to. Even dogs who are shy or nervous around people often feel comfortable sitting beside me and relaxing in my presence. In addition to pet care, I’m also a Reiki Master, and part of my professional work includes offering energetic healing to both animals and people. I bring that same gentle, intuitive, and attentive care to every pet I meet.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I see animals as part of the family, and I care for them with the same love, attention, and responsibility I would give my own children. We prioritize the best nutrition, hygiene, and overall care for our pets. Although we have a fenced yard, we never just let our dog out alone — we always stay outside with her, play with her, and make sure she’s safe and comfortable. We also walk our dog 2–3 times a day to keep her active, happy, and well cared for. I would provide that same level of care, attention, and safety for any dog or cat entrusted to me.

Ryan was thorough, capable of following my directions, and did the job with pride-- I felt incredibly safe with him working with my cats and their needs! He was able to work with changes in directions, had experience giving liquid medications by mouth, and was punctual and timely in his visits. My cats felt calm when he was around, and he had no problem playing with them with extra time he had. I would definitely recommend Ryan and hope he gets plenty of opportunities to continue petsitting in the future, thank you again!

I’ve known Ryan for almost 20 years. I don’t know anyone that loves animals and nature more than he does. I’ve watched him take care of his own pets and caring for others. His life long best friend lived for 18 years mostly due to Ryan’s love for Japhy! And now he has been loving Juniper for 4 years! Ryan is honest and reliable. Thank you!

Ryan is one of the best dog dads I know! He is very calm and nurturing, but also enjoys enrichment and playtime. He is very responsible and would made a phenomenal dog walker for your fur baby!

Ryan Warner is an intelligent, empathic and reliable individual. I’ve known him more than ten years, and my dog simply loves him. Ryan is energetic and enjoys walking and hiking. He is quite the dog whisperer and has had a great deal of experience with dogs, even medicating and caring for elder and blind d dogs. Ryan brings good energy to all he does, he’s trustworthy and very polite. I recommend him highly.
