Information Rylan J. would like to know about your pet

I will not watch a dog that is territorial and aggressive. I would love to know your dogs personality and behaviors, commands and routine. I love having their information and instructions written down!

A typical day

I love to walk them, and have them get plenty of exercise and sniffs in. I love playing outside with them, or just basking in the sun with them, whatever they enjoy! I will give them plenty of treats and pets as well.

Pet care experience

I have been traveling and pet sitting on Rover full-time for 3 years, in 5 different states and 3 different islands! I’m now in my hometown Fort Dodge. I have always loved dogs and all animals, and have cared for them since I was a child. I truly love getting to know you and your pets, spending time with them, exercising, playing, feeding, even animal massages 🐾 I will love your pets, and your home as my own😊

Rylan is the absolute best. We have used her a few times and our animals love her. She takes care of our super anxious labs and elderly cat and is so kind about all of our animals needs. We will continue booking her in the future!

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.
