About Ryan & Lorien L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We start with a no-cost meet and greet to learn your pet’s routine, triggers, rewards, meds, and walking style. And most important, to see that we're a good fit. We keep it calm, read body language, and let them warm up on their terms—no barging in like Kramer on Seinfeld. For drop-ins and walks, goal is to keep care steady and low-stress: meals, water, potty breaks, litter box duty, meds, playtime, and safe, structured walks matched to your pet's energy. For daycare and boarding, the meet and greet is a visit to our house. We'll introduce ourself and our pets. You and your pet can tour the house and yard. We'll ensure everyone is comfortable and if the fit isn't right, we'll completely understand. Dogs stay with Ryan downstairs with space to settle in. Our husky and two older cats will be upstairs except for supervised interaction and play (if welcome by you and your pet). We feed dogs separately, manage food and toys carefully to prevent friction, and keep the whole setup calm, predictable, and drama-free. Dogs get two walks a day unless you ask otherwise - and that can be with or without our dog.

Information Ryan & Lorien L. would like to know about your pet
We'll ask about routine, energy, meds, feeding, bathroom habits, leash habits, favorite toys, treats, and any wonderfully weird quirks. I'll also ask about any triggers to keep things calm and low-stress: how they handle strangers, other animals, and noise.
A typical day
For dogs, the day is structured. We use a scheduling app for arrival/drop-off, morning walk, rest in proximity with me, meal times, supervised play time with my dog or play with one of us in backyard, then an afternoon walk. For cats, we anchor the day around scheduled meals, with play and lap time if invited—otherwise follow their vibe.

Pet care experience
We’re longtime Rover users, but new Rover sitters. No reviews yet, but here’s why that should not scare you off ... 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 children = no schedule flakiness or overbooking. ... 4) Only one guest pet at a time for a) focused attention and b) flexibility in the event of illness or injury. We can drop everything in an emergency and YOUR PET IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. ... 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. We board dogs and cats for friends and family; now we’d like to do it with Rover. ... As mentioned above, we both work from home. But I, Ryan, will be primary contact since my freelance work gives greater flexibility. I adore animals and shower affection, but I also treat pet care as a job. In my former corporate life I was an IT enterprise software project manager, so pet parents get an avid practitioner of scheduling and task management apps for reliable time-management, routines, care tasks, communication, and status and photo updates. ...

Amazing sitters! Sent updates and photos to make us feel comfortable on our dog’s first visit. So attentive! So excited to find them.
