"Theory misses Ryan so much that he's hanging his head over the edge of the bed, sighing heavily. We're waiting for him to either run away to find Ryan, or compose poetry. Most people love Abstract best, and it's rare for Theory to find a person, but Ryan is clearly his person. At every single step of this -- and it's our first sit so we were nervy and forgetful and over the top -- Ryan was calm, easy, and I hope will become a friend."

"His calm character, willingness and capabilities were a godsend to me, making me feel at constant ease at an extremely difficult time. Further issues arose at my property during his time there but Ryan always took charge & just rolled with it, often saying to me 'that’s what I’m here for'. I am so thankful for this."

From a family dog while I was growing up to pet sitting in a number of different cities/countries, I’ve been responsible for plenty of cats and dogs over the years, and I’m excited to continue doing just that. I’ve been lucky enough to share spaces with animals both young and old, as well as large and small. Along with that, I’ve handled providing medications, IVs, special diets, and other unique requirements (such as taking care of elderly, blind animals) during a number of sits.

Also, I’m comfortable with being out of my element, whether that involves language, culture, or something else. I’ve lived on my own and travelled to numerous different countries for extended periods of time, which has helped me develop the ability to solve problems independently.

Over the years, I’ve also developed the skills to live in a variety of settings, including both city and rural locations. From plotting a route with public transit to starting a fire, I’m capable of using Google Maps just as much as I am an axe.
