Small Group Boarding, Big Fun!
I am a life long dog lover with many years of experience taking care of dogs as well as fostering dogs in need! I believe boarding should feel less like a kennel and more like your dog is staying with family. That's why I keep my boarding groups small, so every dog gets plenty of individual attention, affection, playtime, and space to relax. Your dog becomes part of the household while they're here not just another dog on the schedule. Dogs are welcome to make themselves completely at home. They can curl up on the couch, nap on the bed, play with friends, or find a quiet place to relax when they've had enough excitement. And when they're ready for an adventure, there's plenty of that too! A typical stay can include walks, outdoor play, trips around town, dog park adventures when appropriate, and lots of one on one attention. My goal is simple, when you go on vacation, your dog gets a vacation too!

Ratings and reviews
Ryan was awesome with our dog. We did a preliminary meet so he could assess the fit with other dogs. He kept us up to date with pics and videos of daily activities and down time. He truly loves what he does and opened his place up to make to make our dog fit right in. Communication was easy and Ryan was quick to get back to me with any questions. Thanks for giving Xander a fun doggie getaway while we enjoyed ours.
We left Boone with Ryan for a few hours and boy did our boy came home sooooo exhausted! Ryan took him to the local dog park to run around and then he played with another pup at the house the rest of the night. Ryan’s communication is great, sharing videos and photos all throughout Boone’s stay. We’ll definitely keep Ryan in mind to watch our boy again in the future.
Ryan is a responsible and caring sitter. He really seems to lime and care about his charges, and I felt safe leaving y pup with him.
Ryan was great with our dog, Sprint! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, which we really appreciated while we were away on vacation. Sprint got plenty of exercise and trips to the dog park every day. I also appreciated that Ryan was attentive and always followed up with questions if he needed clarification on anything related to Sprint’s care. We felt like Sprint was in great hands and would definitely use Ryan again!
Sam had a great week with Ryan! Ryan sent lots of pictures and definitely keep Sam busy and active!
Responsive, considerate, and friendly. My dogs loved him and he took good care of them.

Schedule
Dog sitting is my full time focus, which means your dog isn't being squeezed into my schedule they're part of it! Being home and available throughout the day allows me to give each dog plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, walks, and, of course, plenty of time to relax and make themselves at home. When your dog stays with me, caring for them isn't something I do around my day, it's my day! 🐶❤️

Safety, trust & environment
Fewer dogs means more individual attention, easier supervision, more personalized care, and a calmer home environment. It also allows me to get to know each dog's personality and routine instead of treating every stay the same. Whether your dog wants to spend the afternoon playing with friends, following me around the house, exploring outside, or snoozing on the couch, I want them to feel comfortable being themselves.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog's day is a little different because I adjust activities around their personality, energy level, age, and comfort. For an active pup, the morning might start with some outside time followed by a walk and plenty of opportunities to sniff and explore. Then it's back home for water, playtime, belly rubs, and some well-earned relaxation. Dogs are welcome on the furniture, so couch naps are absolutely encouraged! Later, we may head out for another adventure whether that's a walk, a car ride around town, outdoor play, or a trip to a local dog park for dogs who are comfortable and appropriate in that environment. Evenings are usually much quieter. After dinner and one last round of play and potty breaks, everyone gets to settle in wherever they're most comfortable. Some dogs choose a dog bed. Some take over the couch. And some inevitably decide my bed belongs to them. 😂 The goal is for your dog to go home happy, exercised, loved and maybe just a little tired from their vacation.
