Highlights
Pet care experience
Married remote-workers home all day
1) No-cost meet and greet before booking. You can interview us in person, tour our home and yard, poke around, and decide if we’re a fit before committing. ... 2) Ryan is certified in Red Cross Canine and Feline First Aid/CPR, and Fear Free Canine and Feline Daycare, Boarding, and Administering Medication. ... 3) Two adults working from home and no kids = no schedule flakiness or overbooking. ... 4) One guest pet at a time so yours will have priority, for attention or in case of emergency. (Exceptions only for repeat clients whose pet is 100% comfortable with our pets) ... 5) IT enterprise software project managers by trade, so clients get scheduling discipline: routines, care tasks, clear communication, and lots of detailed status/photo updates. ... 6) Three-floor home layout means pet guests can be comfortably separated from our dogs and cats when they need their own quiet time, decompression, or solo space. ... About Us: We each grew up in dog and cat households. Today we’re proud pet parents of our lady husky Fen, and our cats - brother and sister - Loki and Freya. We’ve cared for our own pets from youngster to senior phases, some who needed meds, injections, extra patience, and lots of vet support.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our 13lb, 14 years old Rusty, active but hard of hearing really enjoyed his time at Ryan and Lorine’s house. They made him feel welcome and comfortable, the pictures they sent were great. Their dog Fin was great with Rusty, seemed like best buddies. They really took awesome care of Rusty, and were accommodating to my timing. The communication was top notch. I would highly recommend them for your furry pups.
Ryan and Lorien took exceptional care of our senior dog, Keira! During our 8-day trip, we received wonderful daily writeups and photos - we enjoyed experiencing the details of her day and knowing that everything was going so well. Ryan took great care in organizing her walking routine, food, and medicines so that she was always comfortable and happy in their home. We will definitely use Ryan and Lorien again when we need a petsitter - and know that Keira will be welcomed back!
We cannot thank Ryan and Lorien enough for the incredible care our dog, Gilmour, received. From start to finish, they were thoughtful, respectful, and transparent. We loved how communicative they were, and really enjoyed the creative summaries of how their days went. It is clear that they truly love animals, and the individual attention our dog received was unmatched. We are so deeply grateful for their kindness and will definitely be back for future pet sitting needs.
Ryan and Lorien were the best sitters we’ve found in the nine years we’ve had Dany! We were so grateful for the daily updates and felt Dany was well taken care of. Ryan goes above and beyond to make sure you’re on the same page about care and is detail oriented. We would 10/10 recommend & hope to book again in the future!
Ryan and Lorien are AMAZING! Super thorough updates with lots of pictures of Fleet multiple times a day, and incredibly detailed and helpful with his schedule and routine. House is set up perfect for watching a doggo and giving each animal their own space. Absolutely blown out of the water, I’ve never been so pleased with a sitter. They made a difficult weekend stress-free because I knew my boy was in good hands.
Ryan and Lorien are best sitters we've booked on Rover! Extremely responsible, conscientious and communicative - we received daily updates with pictures and a summary of the day that were a joy to read. We were very assured that we left our pup in safe hands. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Three-floor home with separable spaces as needed. Doggy door to a fenced backyard can stay open or closed, and motion cameras feed to our computers so yard time is always monitored. Cats have a third-floor-only cat door for their own escape zone if guest dogs get too curious. ... New guests stay with Ryan downstairs with space to settle in. Our husky and two older cats will be upstairs when we can't supervise initial interactions and play (if welcome by you and your pet). If everyone gets along great, which is usually the case, we let everyone move about the house freely.
Pets
A typical day
For dogs, the day is structured. We use a scheduling app for arrival/drop-off, walk, rest in proximity to us, meal times, supervised play time with our dog or one of us in backyard. ... Dogs get at least one 30 min walk a day unless you ask otherwise - and that can be with or without our dog. ... We feed dogs separately, manage food and toys carefully to prevent friction, and keep the whole setup calm, predictable, and drama-free. ... We have a doggy door to our fenced in back yard which can be closed or open, depending on whether you'd like your dog to have a particular bathroom schedule. As mentioned, we have motion cams covering entire back yard that display on our computers while we work. So no risk that your pup is getting into trouble in the yard.

- We start with a no-cost meet and greet to learn your pet’s routine, bathroom habits, walking style, triggers, rewards, and meds. We document it ourselves, no need for you to write anything out. And most important, to see that we're a good fit. We keep it calm—no barging in like Kramer on Seinfeld.
