About: I have experience with canines young and old big and small. Growing up I raised a litter of mixbred beagle basset pups although all the male pups along with the mother got what I've considered to be "dog cancer", PARVO. The females pups are currently living a happy life with a family in southern Utah along with their pops. I have also raised two Yorkshire Terrier pups that became close family even after passing. Now I currently have a Siberian Husky mix "Volibear" who is my absolute pride and joy. I found him 9 months ago and it has been non-stop training since. In his previous home the owners spoke Spanish so that is Voli's primary language, so there was a language barrier for a while since he couldn't understand any of my commands. Volibear is now trilingual and can understand commands in English, Spanish, and French. I believe I can use my unique experiences along with my skillset to give each client the best possible service. I'm currently unemployed so my schedule is mostly free. I have other affairs to tend to approximately for two hours every Wednesday. Besides that I am completely available to tend to whatever new canine friend I may encounter. What my pet consumes and their whereabouts are my highest priority when it comes to animal care. There are various natural treats that are quite beneficial for dogs when consumed in small quantities but too much can be lethal. That is why consumption is such a high priority, and whereabouts is a given being a priority. Last thing anyone wants is a lost dog.
About: I grew up on a farm. I have taken care of cows, goats, sheep, pigs, horses, cats, dogs, chickens, turkeys, peacocks, and fish from a very young age. I work full-time currently. Tuesday- Friday except during the summer I am off. I am able to come in the early mornings to check on your animals or in the afternoons when I get off work. Saturday- Monday I am free anytime. I have pets myself. Currently 4 dogs and a cat. Two of my dogs are almost 10 years old. One does take medication so I am very capable of giving yours theirs. As well as my cat was on medication as well at one point.

“Great relief that Ryan was able to get my dog when she got out. She is a challenge! Our black lab also had fun with Ryan. Will have him come back!”
