Availability
I’m currently a full-time online student, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the day. While I do set aside a few hours for schoolwork and caring for my own pets, I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits and dog walks. This flexibility allows me to be reliable and consistent when it comes to caring for your pets and making sure they get the attention they deserve!

About Rylan B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pets, their comfort and safety always come first. During drop-in visits, I like to start by giving them time to get familiar with me at their own pace, allowing them to approach and feel comfortable before interacting. Once they’re relaxed, I’ll give them plenty of love and attention, check that they have fresh food and water, and clean up any accidents if needed. I’m happy to play with them if they’re interested and will always make sure dogs are let out for a potty break before I leave. For walks, I bring water to keep pups hydrated, clean up after them, and can provide treats with your approval. I always use positive reinforcement and make sure your pet returns home safe, happy, and well cared for before I head out.
Information Rylan B. would like to know about your pet
Before walking your dog, I like to learn as much as possible to make sure they have a safe and enjoyable experience. It’s helpful to know their energy level, temperament, and how they typically behave on a leash, as well as any triggers like other dogs, loud noises, or new environments. Please let me know if they have any medical needs, allergies, or specific routines I should follow. I also appreciate knowing their preferred walking routes, commands they respond to, and whether treats are okay. The more I know, the better I can tailor each walk to keep your pup comfortable, safe, and happy!
A typical day
A typical day of dog walking with me is all about keeping your pup happy, active, and comfortable. I start by greeting them calmly and giving them a moment to get excited and ready for their walk. During the walk, I keep a steady pace based on their energy level, allowing time for sniffing, exploring, and bathroom breaks. I bring water to keep them hydrated and always clean up after them. I use positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout the walk to make it a fun experience. Afterward, I make sure they’re settled back at home, comfortable, and have everything they need before I leave.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up in a family full of pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have experience pet sitting for family and friends, and I’ve also taken three veterinary courses in high school, which helped me learn more about animal health and behavior. I offer dog walking and drop-in visits for small to medium-sized dogs, and I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pup feel just as loved as one of my 3 babies!

It’s clear that pets feel comfortable and safe with her, and she treats them like her own. Whether it’s sticking to routines, giving extra attention, or keeping everything clean and organized, Rylan handles it all with ease. I always have complete peace of mind knowing my pets are in such capable and caring hands. Highly recommend!
