Lifelong Dog Lover & Foster

Hi, my name is Ryan, and I’ve spent a lot of time fostering abandoned dogs. Through that experience, I’ve worked closely with dogs of all kinds, including those with behavioral challenges, helping them build the confidence and skills they need to thrive in loving forever homes. It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey, filled with meaningful connections and plenty of bittersweet goodbyes along the way. Although I’ve decided to take a step back from fostering, I realized just how much joy dogs bring to my everyday life. I’m excited to continue working with dogs by offering caring, reliable dog daycare and boarding services, while putting the experience and skills I’ve developed to good use.

We were extremely happy with our experience! Ryan was knowledgeable and attentive to our dog. We received many updates and pictures while we were away which we really appreciated. He was even willing to bathe him after a run in with a mud puddle. 😅 We’ll definitely be repeat customers.

Ryan EXCEEDED my expectations! He has an intuitive way with dogs. He is very knowledgable about dogs & dog behavior. Ryan is the real deal-- a true animal lover & kind, decent human being. He communicated well with pics and updates during my dog's visit. During our initial meeting I felt an instant rapport he had with my dog that put me at ease. His home is VERY dog-centric! The visiting dogs are not confined and are free to mingle and find their own place to relax. There are ample dog beds, couches, human beds and floor space for lounging and sleeping. I especially appreciate that Ryan limits the number of dogs he boards at one time to a very small group, & makes sure they vibe well together beforehand. The living space Ryan and his boarders occupy is all on one level, which is great for my dog with arthritis. There is a wooded trail for walks adjoining the yard, and a guest bedroom if a dog needs some quiet alone time. I would HIGHLY recommend Ryan and I plan to use him again!

Ryan went above and beyond was expected. I got update pics and even a call just letting me know my pup was doing great. Maverick received dinner and breakfast exactly as instructed. He even got to visit the dog park (and yes I was ask before of that would be okay to do). Would highly recommend.

As a dedicated shelter volunteer, Ryan has cared for a wide variety of dogs in his quiet, adult-only home. The dogs that Ryan fostered were quickly adopted largely due to the excellent care they received. He truly loves dogs and knows how to make them comfortable in a new environment. Ryan enjoys doing enrichment activities and playing games with dogs. Every day, he goes on long hikes in nearby parks. He does his best to ensure that his dogs are happy.

Ryan has a calm confidence when working with animals. While very respectful and patient, he works to understand the breed and any issues, then works on and achieves whatever the goal might be. Ryan is a gift to our four-legged family members!

Ryan is a very responsible caregiver. He has foster dogs from animal shelters and has trained and loved them until they find their forever home. All dogs have been spoiled and given lots of love. He has a dog of his own who is always happy and lived his best life. There is no else I would want to watch my dog than Ryan.

Safety, trust & environment

My approach emphasizes patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to ensure each dog receives attentive, individualized care in a safe and supportive environment. I also have a 4 foot fence to allow the dogs to go outside and use the bathroom. Just let me know if your dog has any special needs and I will do my best to meet them!

Pets

A typical day

My dog Shadow is a high energy dog and needs a good amount of exercise so each day includes walks in the woods, time at the park for play, and car rides for extra enrichment. Dogs stay active, engaged, and well cared for throughout the day, returning home relaxed and content.

How much energy the dog has, if they like playing with other dogs, if they are crate trained, if they are allowed on the furniture, how much to feed them and when, also let me know if they're capable of jumping my 4 foot tall fenced area so I can take them out on a leash for the bathroom and let me know if your dog has any special needs so I am accommodate them and make then as comfortable as possible.
