Pet care experience

I’ll love your pup no matter what!

I’ve had the pleasure of loving all types of dogs; huge, tiny, loud, farty, pups who suffer from frequent seizures, pups on lots of meds. I’ve been accompanied by many and have learned there’s no such thing as a “bad dog”. I’ve had dogs growing up since I was about 3yrs old and always lived with friends who had dogs for many years till my lady and I rescued our own. We recently lost our beloved Frenchie at 13 years old and during her later years she was on very strict medication schedules, was having routine seizures, and just needed constant supervision. As tough as that time was I learned a lot about proper care-giving, understanding body language, and how to be proactive for pups with special needs. Your pup will receive all the attention, care, love and playfulness that I dedicated to my own. I have an in house camera set up to keep an eye on the pup in the rare occasion we need to leave them at our house unsupervised. There is a dog friendly park walkable from my place and have no problem putting a wet, sandy dog in my car going to and from the beach!

Ryan and Elena were such kind and thoughtful dog sitters. We left Misty overnight with them for 5 nights and they sent daily updates of how she was doing along with photos. While they do have a yard, access to it is down a steep metal staircase that Ryan needed to carry her down. Misty (55 lbs) didn't like this and got very squirmy so understandably didn't get to experience the yard much. Unfortunately Misty could hear the fireworks from SeaWorld, snapdragon stadium, and Petco Park so had a tough time at their house. Ryan was very transparent about how anxious she was being, so sadly we had to cancel our next booking with them. The environment wasn't a good fit for us but Ryan and Elena were so great! Would highly recommend for any dog parent with a not as anxious dog as ours

Ryan and his wife (I apologize, her name slipped my mind) were amazing sitters for my brother, Toast! They updated us regularly and sent a ton of photos throughout the stay. Highly recommend!

Ellie was so happy when I picked her up! Ryan kept her entertained with plenty of walks and adventures outside and sent updates during the day! Thankful to have a trustworthy sitter near to home. 😊

Amazing care for our 10 year old boy! Colby LOVED his time with Ryan and Elaina. They walked him around town and he made a few friends. Ryan sent pics, updated us regularly, and was very responsive whenever we had inquires. We'll always choose Ryan and Elaina to watch our boy again.

Ryan and his girlfriend took amazing care of Molly. They have a great fenced yard in a wonderful neighborhood. I will definitely use Ryan again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

my partner and I both work from home so it’s very rare your dog will be left alone. We focus on prioritizing the pups routine to make sure they’re as comfortable as possible!

A typical day

There’s a dog friendly park within walking distance of my house, where we’ll-behaved dogs can roam freely, I also have no problem bringing pups to dog beaches, or mild hikes if that’s what they enjoy! I also have a wagon that I used to pull my late pup around town in for any (especially senior) dogs that enjoy being out of the house but can’t travel far.

Do they play well with other pups? Do they like to hang out at coffee and meet new people and other pups? Do they have specific triggers that might make them want to chase or uncontrollably bark? Specific medication schedules? Health issues I should be aware of?
