Your dog is a part of our family!

Pet care experience

I take care to make sure your dog feels welcomed and loved in my presence wether in your home or mine! I am active and go for long walks, love to play games and would love to take your dog out on ALL the adventures! I have a very large 1/3 acre fenced backyard for them to run around and play in when boarding in my home and live a few blocks from a dog park as well. I am an experienced handler and have worked in professional daycare and boarding facilities for years. I am trained to handle large groups of dogs using positive reinforcement, moniter and mediate behavior, and stop problematic situations before they even begin! I am certified in pet CPR as well! I do not support aversive training techniques or tools. Please don't ask me to use shock collars, pronged collars, choke chains, etc on your pets. I am happy to help with training and information on learning about "force free" with your pets and would love to share my knowledge with you on better ways you can communicate with your dog without these kinds of tools. I live with 3 spunky Boston Terriers and they LOVE making new friends and playing with canine companions! Visits in my home can also accommodate dogs that need space and rest away from the others as well. I am home often and work part time nearby so I take a trip home on my lunch breaks for my personal pets, so your pets will get an afternoon potty break as well. I will be available to dedicate all my time and attention to keeping your pet happy and entertained whether they like to relax or they love to play! I come fully prepared for adventure and fun and look forward to meeting your dog! I do require a meet and greet with my dogs before booking a boarding stay in my home to ensure they all get along together.

My dog came home from daycare completely exhausted. She got lots of puppy play time and came home happy and in good health. Ryn has 3 friendly dogs that got along well with my pitbull puppy. My doggo is very energetic and overwhelming and other sitters have kept her in a kennel most of the day or severely limited play, and puppy comes home wired and chases my cats around when I'm trying to sleep. When my puppy comes home from Ryn's house, she climbs up on the bed and passes out on her face in minutes. I got lots of pictures of my dog playing with Ryn's dogs, which I really enjoy. A tired dog is a happy dog so I'm pleased with their daycare services. I recommend booking with this sitter. I'm going to book with her as my primary sitter when I'm in the area for work.

Ryn did a great job looking after our Yorkie over the long July 4th weekend. She paid personal attention to her and made sure she was fed and exercised regularly. I hope we're able to use Ryn's services again soon!

Ryn watched our 30 pound mutt Lilly for a week. Lilly is fairly shy but warmed up very quickly to her and her two Boston terriers. I am happy we chose her to watch Lilly while we were traveling across the country for the holidays, and we will be checking if she is available the next time we need someone to take care of Lilly!

Ryn was so caring to our elderly cat while we were on vacation for a week, it made me feel so good that he had her watching him. She even took extra care to check on him during a bad storm. Will definitely work with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet as if they are my own and am dedicated to their comfort and safety at all times. I am very experienced and professional so any signs of stress will be noticed immediately and I will do everything I can to keep your pet calm and happy during their stay. Being somewhere new can be a scary experience for a dog, so you can put your trust in me that I will be empathetic to them and be accommodating to them and each of their wonderful, differing personalities. I love animals, especially dogs, and I will love and respect your pet for the individual they are.

Information Ryn W. would like to know about your pet

I mainly want to know if your dog is socialized and friendly around other dogs. I live an active life and frequently have other animals around. I prefer a meet and greet prior to your pets stay to see how they get along with my dogs! My dogs also have ALOT of toys and want to play so resource guarders may not get along here. I welcome any and all breeds of dog. But, I also would prefer dogs under 75-ish pounds for safe walking purposes but I will make exceptions for Great Danes and more relaxed larger dogs. I can determine if I can walk your dog effectively when we meet.

A typical day

If your dog boards with me, they will get trips to the park, walks around the lake and ample play time with my Boston Terriers, Bosco McNacho (male 4 years), Benjamin Borker (male 2 years old) and Beefy Miss Mighty (female 5 years old)! All three are playful, well socialized dogs and love having guest dogs over to visit! Tug, fetch and wrestling are their favorite games and they love to include their friends!
