Hello,

I'm Ryan. I've been living in Dublin for 3 years. My wife and I moved here from South Africa with our two dogs (our kids!) — Harvey (a chocolate Yorkie) and Archie (a Mini Schnauzer).

We’ve been using Pawshake for just a while, but on the other end as clients. We've been lucky to find amazing sitters we can trust and rely on, so I thought I'd sign up to do the same for others.

I work for a US company and have a lot more flexibility and free time during weekdays to help out — whether it’s taking dogs for walks or doing home visits to spend time with pets that need some love and attention while their parents are at work.

I was brought up with Labradors, so I’m used to handling larger dogs, and I’ve become very accustomed to smaller breeds too, thanks to my own two.
