Pet care experience
Your Dog's Home Away From Home
I’ve spent my entire life around dogs, and my background in professional animal care means your pet is in hands that truly understand animal behavior and safety. With three years as a professional Pet Care Specialist, I am well versed in daily care, behavioral monitoring, and administering medications for pets with specialized health needs. My additional experience in professional dog grooming also means I have the hands on patience needed for all sorts of pups; whether they be anxious, high energy, or seniors with special needs. I now work from home, and can provide dedicated, attentive pet care and boarding in a safe environment. As an added perk, I’m happy to offer in home bath and nail services, with a professional setup, so your dog comes home fresh!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I was very satisfied with Ryan's care of our dog. He communicated constantly before, during, and after the boarding to alleviate any confusion. He was also considerate in making her feel comfortable in her new environment. I appreciated that Ryan offered to give a a wash and nail trimming at a very affordable rate. This I thought set Ryan apart from other people that we have had watch our dog. We will certainly rebook with Ryan next time we are in the area.
Ryan was great with Mila, with sending pictures and even being able to take her for a bit longer last minute without hassle. She looks forward to hanging with him again!
Ryan and Leah did a great job with our pup. He was a super happy and tired out from all the walks and playing ball :). Thank you for taking such good care of him!
Our pup had a great and safe and fun time.
Ryan and Leah were amazing sitters for our pup Hammy. It wws our first time using Rover, so we weren’t sure what to expect but the experience with Ryan (and Leah) was so great, they took Hammy on walks through the woods, cuddled with him at home, and generally just took amazing care, with photos and updates throughout. I can’t recommend them highly enough!!!!!!!
Wonderfully attentive to my ol’ gal!

Schedule
Because I work primarily from home, I have a clear, flexible schedule with plenty of dedicated time to spend with your dog. I’m available for boarding and other services any day of the week, allowing me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and a structured routine so your pup is never left alone for long stretches.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is fully equipped to be a safe, fun, and adaptable "home away from home" for your dog. Here is what you can expect during their stay: • Play: We have a large, fenced backyard where your dog can safely run and play. We are located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood right next door to a large recreational field/park with a walking trail. For more adventurous pups, we also have excellent wooded trails nearby as well. • Socialization: My family will be more than happy to provide extra human interaction throughout the day if your dog is seeking it. We also have 2 friendly resident dogs (a gentle, senior Shih Tzu who mostly minds her own business, and a social English Pointer who will be happy to make new friends) and a cat who is well accustomed to dogs, but will mostly keep to himself. • Separation: While socialization is great, it's not for everyone. If your dog is anxious, or just feeling overwhelmed, I have my own private, dedicated space where they can get away from all the hubbub of the household, and enjoy some downtime. They are also more than welcome to share my furniture if they're more of a lap dog type! As a professional pet handler, I promise to stay aware of your dog's body language and ensure they're recieving the best care possible. Their safety and peace of mind are my top priority.

A typical day
A typical day is a healthy balance of active engagement, fun workouts, and cozy relaxation. We have a fully fenced in yard, where your dog has will have plenty of space to safely run, play, and burn energy, along with daily neighborhood walks and trips to a nearby field for extra exploration. If your pup enjoys social time, my own friendly dog is always down for a game of chase, and we keep extra toys on hand for interactive fun. When it's time to unwind, pups are welcome to make themselves comfortable on the furniture. Plus, I’ll send regular photo updates throughout the day so you can see all the fun your dog is having!
