Pet care experience

5-star Airbnb for your furry friend

I’m a student at Aims Community College with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of time to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. While I’m unable to have animals in my apartment full-time, Rover allows me to stay connected with the animals I love. I grew up with a family beagle named Barney and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs. I’ve looked after a wide range of breeds, from Chihuahuas to Malamutes, and I’m often the first person my friends call for dog or house sitting. I’m patient, dependable, and passionate about animals. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended care, I’m committed to treating your pet like one of my own.

Ryan was a true lifesaver!! I could tell Finn was well cared for from the updates and pictures. Ryan even picked up and dropped Finn off which was amazing so I didn’t need to load kids and a dog. We had a great experience and will definitely be booking again in the future!

Ryan watched our mini bernedoodle puppy and was great! He made sure she was always comfortable and took her on plenty of walks. When we got home she didn’t even seem to have missed us! You can tell Ryan is a dog lover and dogs love him!

Schedule

I'm more than happy to meet and care for your pets any time of day! I’ve worked in construction on and off, so I’m no stranger to hard work. But once the boots come off, the walking shoes go on. I love staying active and spending quality time with animals.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life. I grew up with my Beagle, Barney, and have since spent plenty of time with my friend Gabby’s energetic Corgi and her lovable German Shepherd/Pitbull mix. Whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or keep away, I never get tired of playing, exercising, and bonding with dogs of all sizes and personalities.

A typical day

I love exploring the many parks Northern Colorado has to offer. When walking your pup, I always prioritize safe and comfortable routes. Not just for their well being, but mine too. Their safety and happiness come first every step of the way.

While I don’t have a dog of my own right now, I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter for roommates, friends, and family. Lately, I’ve been house and dog sitting for my brother and his wife’s Mini Bernedoodle, Betty. It’s also a real treat whenever I get to watch my friend Gabby’s Corgi and her German Shepherd/Pitbull mix. I truly enjoy building bonds with each pup I care for.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
