"My dog actually looks forward to his services. When I come home from vacation, my dog Vader is so happy. Thank you very much Ryan."
"So grateful to have found someone local I can actually trust with my pets. Highly recommend Spare Human Services!"
"Ryan did a great job taking care of my puppers while I was out of town for a few days. He was always responsive and ready to answer any of my questions. I will be having him take care of my dogs anytime I need some assistance."
"We have had great experience using Spare Human Services. Leia looks forward to her long walks with Ryan. He communicates well, provides pictures, and is on time. Thank you Ryan!"
"Ryan took exceptional care of my diabetic dog, Badger, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Caring for a diabetic dog requires attention to detail, consistency, and compassion, and Ryan exceeded my expectations in every way. He made sure Badger received his meals and insulin on schedule, kept me updated with messages and photos, and treated him like he was part of the family. It gave me complete peace of mind knowing Badger was in such capable and caring hands. I highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate dog sitter—especially if your pet has special medical needs."
