Dog boarding with Good vibes

Been around dogs my entire life and when I was in high school I got one of my own. A beautiful German Shepherd I named Rocky, who stole my heart. His energy was always high and puppy like, but he was well behaved and calm when it was time to be. He has recently passed, but he lives on in my heart. I raised him on my own from a pup through potty training, chewing, and walking on leash. He would respond to basic and advanced commands also able to walk off leash without running off. I have recent experience with senior care just having gone through caring for a sick and elderly dog. He was around 95 pounds and I was able to help him get around, I’m capable to assist any elderly dog however they might need it.

We were truly blessed to have found Ryan to take care of our two dogs. He is very responsive and sent a lot of pictures of my girls! My one dog has health issues and is definitely a special-needs dog and he was right on top of it! Would 100% recommend!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 30, 2026

Ryan is amazing!!! He watched my german shepherd puppy Bear and Bear loved being at Ryan's. You can tell he really cares about the dogs/pets in his care. He sent me the most beautiful pics of my puppy and gave me updates on how and what he was doing. I will not be booking with anyone other than Ryan! I know my dog is safe and in good hands with Ryan. Thank you for everything!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 23, 2026

We had such a wonderful experience with him as our pet sitter! He responded incredibly quickly to our request and was very welcoming from the moment we arrived. When we pulled up, he came out to greet Snickers, immediately made him feel comfortable, and gave him time to settle in and mingle with the other dogs. We also really appreciated the pictures and updates he sent us while Snickers was staying with him. It was clear that Snickers was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He is clearly excellent with dogs, and we felt completely at ease leaving Snickers in his care. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and wonderful dog sitter!

I’m so happy I found Ryan! He was very professional and communicative with us when watching our boy, Ace. We looked forward to receiving photos and videos each day, and Ace looked so happy. I highly recommend Ryan and would not hesitate to reach out to him again.

Schedule

Started my own personal training business, but most people are available after normal business hours. So that leaves me free with large breaks during the day which would be perfect for me to baby sit while their owner is working. My schedule is mostly flexible, allowing for long walks and supervised relaxing, but if any type of emergency were to come up, my partner works from home to administer care and constant love so don't be worried your pet will never be alone.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a house with a fenced in yard. We can walk, play or just hangout. I like to go on a walk first to make sure your dog is comfortable with me, and I will do whatever is possible to make sure your dog is loved how you would love them. If they’re comfortable using a crate I can provide them with one and a soft bed. I have dog bowls for water and will feed them as often as you prefer. Your pet will be physically and mentally simulated making sure they don’t get bored and are always having fun.

Pets

A typical day

I think it’s important dogs get plenty of exercise, not just walks around the block. We can ride into town, go for a hike, and play in yard. As far as indoor activities, I’ve got plenty of toys, chewy, squeaky, and roped that we can play with. Training is important on a regular basis to both stimulate the mind and to lock in desired behaviors.

Please let me know if there is anything that your pet needs to take or anything that you would like me to keep away from your dog. Are there any usual triggers i should avoid or maybe just be aware of so i can be prepared for an abnormal behavior?
