Treating Every Pup Like Family!
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.

Ratings and reviews
Ryan was spectacular from the start. Open lines of communication, easy to interact with, and gave consistent updates. My pup came home happy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Ryan was an amazing sitter! He was communicative every step of the way, always keeping me updated and being completely transparent throughout Onyx’s stay. He was incredibly accommodating and flexible whenever needed, which made the whole experience stress-free. Most importantly, he treated Onyx like one of his own, giving her so much care and attention . We felt completely at ease knowing Onyx was in such great hands and it was evident she had a great time. We would absolutely book with Ryan again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
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.

Home characteristics
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 with a limited amount of dogs at a time. Dogs are welcome on all furniture and beds, so they can relax wherever they feel most comfortable. If your dog prefers their crate, you're welcome to bring it along, but they're free to make themselves at home anywhere in the house.
