Ryder's Pet Play Care

Pet care experience

We are a mother-son business. We LOVE dogs! Nichole has 35+ years experience as a dog owner. She raised 4 guide dog puppies for the blind and trained dogs in obedience. She's an avid runner who will take dogs accustomed to running along with her. Ryder's dog Chili is his best friend. He is a budding entrepreneur who decided to combine his interests - business and pets. Your dog is welcome to stay in our home. We'll make him or her feel a member of the family while staying with us. At night our dog guests can sleep in their crates, their own beds or in bed with Ryder if they prefer human cuddles all night long. We stick to your schedule for feeding, walks, outside time, and play time so that your dog feels as comfortable as possible while you are away. Ryder goes to school during the day, but Nichole works at home. This means that except for a few hours here or there, when she needs to run an errand or pick up Ryder, dogs have constant companionship. In addition, Chili is a great friend to any dog that comes to stay. We currently just accept one dog at a time. Your dog is guaranteed lots of love and attention! We do everything we can to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, happy and loved while you are away. We will keep you updated on how your dog is doing with text check-ins and photos while you are away. While we love all dogs, we are not able to take puppies, dogs who aren't house trained, dogs that are destructive or dogs that bark excessively. Thank you for your understanding.

Hands down the best family I have ever left this little guy with! I have tried quite a few different ways of adapting to my little guy's comfort while traveling extensively for work. everytime, there's that little feeling of I wonder if he's feeling ok. I could seriously say that these feeling were extremely minimal during this trip. I received consistent updates, pictures, followups, and overall great communication and flexibility.I observed their dog as well and she 's just awesome! They're very, naturally, acclimated to canine behavior and have a lot of patience and empathy for animals from my observations. I'm so happy I found a nice family that will literally treat my dog like their own (he spent the majority of his time cuddling with the little boy,playing with the dog, and lap reading). They were also very mindful of playtime, activities, and climate impacts. Can't say enough_Thank you!!!!

Porter had a great time staying with Nichole. She sent pics everyday with notes about how his day was filled which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Nichole!
