Dogfather Inn,

"Ryan and his family treated my dog like their own. He sent me photos multiple times a day and she had a great time! So glad I found them! Would recommend to anyone!"

"My two German shepherds LOVE staying over at Dogfather Inn! They always have the best time, and can’t wait to go back! Trustworthy & responsible humans (Ryan/Jennifer). They also offer homemade treats, grooming, transportation if necessary, and walks! 10/10 operation!"

"We have been sending our beloved but slightly difficult dog to Ryan for over a year now. He is excellent with our dog and our dog loves him. We can always count on pictures and updates while we are away and a happy dog when we return. We feel lucky to have found Ryan!"

"Ryan and his team at the Dogfather Inn are real life angels. I’m a full-time nurse working 12+ hour shifts, so my dog Murphy is home alone a lot. The dog mom guilt is real. After a bad experience using one of the very popular dog walking apps, a friend of mine gave me Ryan’s contact info and he welcomed Murphy with open arms (despite an already packed roster). I really can’t say enough great things about them, but I’ll try to keep it simple and highlight the important bits for everyone reading this review: - Trustworthy - Knowledgeable - Provides excellent socialization & exercise for the dogs - Consistently great communication - Includes many photos during walks/days spent at daycare - Improved leash etiquette - Safety first mindset - Very fair pricing - Flexible scheduling As if all of these points aren’t convincing enough, Ryan and his team are genuine dog lovers. They even took the time to create a beautiful Dogfather Inn yearbook featuring many cute photos of the dogs, funny quotes, and superlatives like Man’s Best Friend. There was even an “In Remembrance” section for the dogs who passed this year (break my heart in half). All this is to say, you really can’t go wrong with these folks. I trust them completely with my dog (and I don’t say that lightly). 100% recommend."

"It's always hard to find someone to watch dogs, but Ryan was an absolute blessing! I sent updates and photos throughout the played with him, and even worked on son commands with him. He was an absolute to have watch my puppy! He is 10 weeks can be a handful at times, but Ryan treate his own! If you need someone to watch y Ryan is your guy!"
