Pet care experience
Hello! Our names are Abby and Ryan. We’re a young couple who just bought our first house and while we love pets we can’t currently afford to have any of our own so we get our fix through pet sitting! We’ve both grown up with pets (cats for Abby and dogs for Ryan) and we have pet-sat for a variety of family friends for the past 4 years. We know it can be tough finding the right people to look after your pets while you’re away, so we’re happy to meet with you and your pets to determine if we’ll be a good match before we confirm a booking. We offer pet sitting in our house, and we take just one client at a time, so your pet(s) will have all our attention! We’re comfortable with dogs of all sizes as well as cats. We also know you may miss your pets while you’re away, so we’re happy to provide regular updates with lots of photos to ensure you have peace of mind that your pet is in great hands!

Reviews
Abby and Ryan were great with our senior lab. They kept us updated and were flexible when our travel plans were unexpectedly delayed. Definitely recommend!
Would highly recommend Abby & Ryan. They were great, providing pictures and updates. Gave my dog loads of exercise.
Abby and Ryan watched our black lab while we were away for 10 days. We are so thankful for them and their love for animals. We were at ease knowing our dog was in good hands. We have nothing but good things to say! Will be reaching out if care is ever needed again. Nicole & Craig
Abby & Ryan are AMAZING. The absolute sweetest family, who clearly love caretaking dogs. I'm pretty sure my dogs would have asked to stay longer if they could. We will definitely being asking Abby & Ryan to watch our pups again. HIGHLY recommend!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When your pets are with us, we treat them like we would our own! We have a very large, spacious backyard, however it is not fenced-in. We do have a long leash which allows dogs to run around the yard (always supervised) and play fetch. We also recognize the importance of continuing training, so we are happy to continue to use commands or continue other training while you’re away. We believe that a tired dog is a happy dog, so we try our best to ensure dogs in our care receive enough physical and mental stimulation throughout the day. We also recognize that this is important for many cats, and we are happy to cuddle, play, or just be in the same room as your cat, depending on their preferences (because they can all be different!).

Information Abby & Ryan E. would like to know about your pet
Let us know what your pet’s typical routine is so we can keep it up while you’re away, as well as whether they’re known for any behaviours we should look out for. Also let us know what commands your dog knows so we can continue to use them.
A typical day
We know it’s important to keep dogs engaged - a tired dog is a happy dog! We love going for walks and runs both around our neighbourhood and on hiking trails. We also love running around with a ball and playing with dogs in the backyard. Chew treats and mental game toys are also great for dogs, and we love to give these to dogs in our care especially if I know we need to leave them alone for a while.
