Our home has a lovely backyard with a six-foot privacy fence, a splash pool for hot days, and lots of shade! I have a complete dog room set up in our sunroom. Dogs are allowed to be in our living spaces with us, but I do have my office and bedroom blocked off for my own doggies to take a break if needed.

Information Ryn U. would like to know about your pet

It is crucial to note *any* behavioral or medical needs prior to your stay. I strive to provide a fun and stress-free experience that feels as close to home as possible for your pets and want to ensure I can properly meet their needs. I am experienced in handling anxious, reactive, and aggressive dogs, please be transparent, this information only helps me! I only require you to bring your dogs necessities such as, food, bowls, collar(harness)/leash (preferably with ID tags), and any of their required gear. I encourage owners to bring any items your dog needs to feel comfortable and safe while here, things like blankets, toy, or their own crates are all allowed here! Because this is a multi dog household I do require a current vaccine status.

A typical day

I love getting dogs out and moving! Keeping your pup happy is my top priority. Whether we’re chasing toys in the backyard, splashing around in the doggy pool, going for a good walk, or enjoying an enrichment treat, we keep busy!

Pet care experience

Your dog and their care are my full time career. This isn't a side hustle for me, it’s my passion. As a dog trainer, I pride myself on being able to safely offer dogs opportunities they wouldn't necessarily get elsewhere. I am typically home all day everyday, but occasionally need to leave the house, usually for a max of 3 hours. When dogs are alone in the home they are kept safely crated in a monitored room. I can safely house reactive and aggressive dogs in the home and have experience handling such. For owners who are comfortable I also take dogs with me on local hiking trails often! Reach out and let’s talk dogs!

Ryn is amazing with my dogs. She sends lots of updates, goes beyond making sure their needs are met, and even gave them baths before they came home! We couldn’t be happier with the care our pups received, we will definitely book again and again!

We couldn’t have been happier with Ryn as our dog sitter over the holidays! Finding someone who truly understands and can handle dogs with behavioral challenges is no easy task, but Ryn completely exceeded our expectations. Two of our dogs have big feelings—one is fear reactive, and the other struggles with anxiety—and Ryn managed their unique needs with so much patience, care, and skill. She even made real progress with one of our more challenging pups, which was such a huge milestone for us. Ryn’s extensive experience as a dog trainer really stands out. She took the time to learn about each of our dogs before their stay, asking thoughtful questions and ensuring she was prepared to meet their needs. Her setup is perfect, with a big, secure fenced yard and an environment designed for both enrichment and safety. It’s clear she puts so much thought into creating a space where dogs can thrive. One of the things we appreciated most was how Ryn included her own dogs in a way that felt safe and comfortable for everyone. She has an incredible ability to read dog behavior and ensure all interactions are positive. Whether it was playtime, downtime, or moments when our dogs just needed a little extra reassurance, Ryn handled everything with ease and professionalism. Throughout the stay, Ryn kept us updated with regular, thoughtful communication. Her updates included how our dogs were feeling emotionally, what they were eating, and even little stories about their day. The photos she sent showed just how happy and relaxed our pups were, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. What truly sets Ryn apart is her genuine love for dogs and her ability to connect with them on an individual level. She doesn’t just care for dogs—she truly understands them. Her ability to build trust and confidence, even with dogs who struggle with fear and anxiety, is remarkable. We came home to happy, groomed, relaxed pups who were clearly given so much attention, playtime, and love. It’s everything you could hope for as a dog parent. Ryn went above and beyond to make sure they felt safe and happy the entire time. If you’re looking for someone who is not only amazing with dogs but also truly gets them, Ryn is the absolute best. Whether your dog has special behavioral needs or just deserves the best care possible, we can’t recommend her enough for training or sitting. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Ryn is a dedicated and loving dog person. She is very diligent in her work no matter the task at hand, whether it be dog sitting or training she does it all. Ryn makes sure to keep her doggies in a safe and clean environment that is suitable for any doggo.
