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!

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.
