Loving Dog Dad

Pet care experience

Ever since I was born, I’ve had dogs in my life. I have experience caring for many different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have cared for the dogs of my relatives, neighbors, and friends. I have trained several puppies in my life. I provide structure and routine that make a dog’s life enriching and stimulating while also ensuring the necessary rest they require.

Ryan communicated in a very timely manner and was very responsive. He sent pictures of our dog while we were on our trip. Our dog seemed happy when we picked her up and had no adverse side effects of us being gone for a few days, which is amazing!
