About Ryan
I absolutely love pet-sitting and walking and don't really consider it a job. I have decades of experience looking after dogs as big as Tibetan Mastiffs and red nosed Pitbulls down to pugs. I also have experience looking after cats, birds, turtles, sheep, snakes, monitor lizards, chickens and even bees. I used to volunteer rescuing Pitbulls in New Zealand and have experience dealing with rescues that struggle to trust new people
I offer dog walking services as well as pet (any critter) sitting in both the owners or my home. I live with my partner and we can have up to 2 pets at a time and can handle administering medications. We have a secure fenced off yard that a great Dane couldn't manage to escape out of. Our work schedules can make sure they are not on their own for more than 3 hours. Pets have the option to sleep inside or outside pending the owners preference.
I am a big gentIe giant and am very suitable for walking large dogs that the average person might struggle to contain and I haven't met a critter that hasn't like me yet. Walks can be 30 or 60 minutes and can be either early morning or late afternoon or both.
My main motivation to be a pet sitter is the fact that I am genuinely at peace when I'm with animals and having a paying side gig is just an added bonus.
