Doggy Day Care • Oct 14, 2025

We had our dogs stay for two consecutive days, and everything went smoothly. There were no issues at all, and Ryan took good care of them. On the second morning, they were clearly excited to see him again, which tells me he really connected with them. Thank you for providing a safe and positive experience.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 10, 2025

Ryan was amazing! He agreed to watch both of my senior dogs without a visit (I live out of state so there wasn’t an opportunity to meet before I got to Portland) and was really great to work with throughout the process. Super communicative, offered to carry my arthritic, larger dog up and down the stairs, and graciously dealt with an accident (which I’m so sorry about, Ryan!). Couldn’t have asked for a better experience while I spent the day exploring the Portland area.

House Sitting • Oct 01, 2025

Ryan is kind, easygoing and very responsive. I don’t have a clear sense for how my dog fared with him in that the only feedback I received from Ryan regarding Coolio during his stay was the morning he arrived, and I didn’t find out until after the fact that Coolio hadn’t been eating great and seemed “nervous,” which isn’t feedback I’ve gotten before in years of using Rover sitters. Perhaps just not a great fit! In the end, all is well.

I am glad I trusted Ryan to care for my puppy! Fish was well taken care of, and he was so kind when communicating with me about Fish and his puppy antics! I will be booking with Ryan again!
