Pet care experience

drop-in care, house sitting

I’ve always had dogs and cats, and I recently moved to the Bellingham area after spending a little over a year working on the Animal Care Team and as the Social Media Coordinator for Underdog Animal Rescue & Rehab, a nonprofit organization based out of Moab, UT. I am very used to animal care, regardless of the temperament or medical needs of the animal! I have my own form of transportation, and am happy to care for your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I cannot take pets into my home as I live in a small studio and am not permitted to have animals other than my own in the space. My dog Pip (small white dog with big ears in my photos) is a very sweet girl who gets along well with other animals, although she can be a bit sassy at first (she’s little, so she makes a point to let other dogs know not to mess with her)! Pip gets a daily walk, either around the property where we rent, in town, or out in nature on a hike! I would be happy to bring your dog(s) along, as long as they d well with other dogs, and are trained on or off leash. I am a bit fan of crate training, but understand that every dog is different and that crates aren’t always the best way for some! Whatever your preference is, I am happy to follow it as long as it is within my moral boundaries!

Ryn was terrific (also Wyatt and PiP!) George was well cared for, as was our house.

Ryn did a great job taking care of our 15 year old dog. She's very attentive to her needs. Would highly recommend Ryn.

So happy with how well my dogs were taken care of by Ryn! She was really good with taking them out and playing with them. She was also very patient with my little chihuahua who can be quite the struggle. Taking care of 3 dogs a cat and plants is quite the chore and she did it all!

Ryn is doing a good job getting to know and take care of our shy COVID cats, who still don't do well with strangers after never having met anyone during COVID. They are slowly warming up to her, which is very comforting to us while we are away.

Ryn did a great job even though we had a miss communication... it all worked out okay. She's very attentive to our little dog who needs special treatment because she is 14 yrs old and cannot hear.

Ryn was great. She kept us informed as to the kids wellbeing. She also house sat at the same time. Everything was neat and clean when we got home.

If your dog has a history of aggression or reactivity let me know! It’s not a problem at all as I have experience with reactive-excited and reactive-aggressive dogs. If your dog is not leash trained, that is also no problem! Just let me know in advance so that I can be prepared :) Just give me as much information as you can before and during our meet and greet and I will be happy to work with you and your dog!
