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.

My Pomeranian is small but has a big personality, Ryan was super patient with her, he kept continuous communication with me about her and send me pictures, he even spoiled her by letting her sleep on the bed 😊

Ryan took excellent care of our dog and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She had so much fun playing with his dog during her stay. Ryan was great about communicating and sent photos, which really reassured us that she was happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated that he took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand. It gave us confidence that our dogs would get along well and allowed us to see firsthand how kind Ryan is and how much he genuinely loves dogs. He was also great about coordinating drop off and pick up at convenient times. We felt completely comfortable leaving our dog with him and will be repeat customers!
