Availability

I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so the health and well being of my pet and those that I watch are always a priority. My partner goes into the office 4 days/week, but after work we take the dogs on a walk/hike and also on weekends (weather pending).

I have a large fenced yard with turf and a magnet screen set up, so your pup will have free access to the backyard and turf, but let us know if supervision is needed when they are in the backyard. We also sometimes pet sit for our parents as well as friends. We love dogs and treat them as though they are family members. I grew up with several dogs my whole life of different breeds and have experience caring for both small and medium dogs. The dogs that come into our house are given a lot of attention, pets, comfort, and love. We want our new family members to feel comfortable in our home, for that reason, we normally only board one dog at a time. Our max is two dogs, only if we have boarded the dogs before and are familiar with their temperament and socialization. If you prefer to not have another dog boarded during the stay, please let us know and we can accommodate. If you have any questions about us or would like to learn more about our backgrounds, please feel free to reach out! We look forward to hearing from you!

Information Ryan R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any specific dietary needs that your dog has, or if there are any behavioral aspects that you're working on. I'd love to keep your pets routine as consistent as possible to ensure that they have a great time while you're away! We allow small dogs on our bed, so if your dog sleeps with you or has separation anxiety, please let us know!

A typical day

I love taking dogs on longer walks around Lake Chabot, Donlon, or Don Castro, but also on shorter walks around the neighborhood on a more frequent basis. I can also play fetch or frisbee with your dog as well.

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs. I am a dependable, compassionate individual, and love meeting as well as caring for dogs. I'm currently in FinTech and my partner works in government, but we LOVE dog boarding as it gives us the opportunity to care for cute pups and to give our dog, Zoe, a new f(u)riend. Zoe is our 6 year old golden lab mix who is very gentle and has a great temperament. She gets along well with other dogs and is even willing to share her toys and treats!

Ryan and Lena were awesome sitters with our Emma. They gave her affection and care that made her feel very happy, comfortable and right at home. Their dog Zoe is so sweet and friendly which is just the kind of companionship that Emma loves. The pictures and videos they sent of Emma's fun times on her walks with beautiful trails showed how much she enjoyed everyday with them. Ryan's and Lena's excellent care during our vacation was wonderful.

Such an easy and great experience. Was able to accommodate a last minute booking without hesitation and had such a great space for Leif to tire himself out in. Amazing first experience - would definitely book again!

Ryan and Lena were great watching my dog Bailey, and I felt like I could relax on my trip with her there. She seemed happy while she was with them, and I got lots of photos and updates during her stay. Thank you both for being so good to her!
