Pet care experience
I arrived from Australia over a year ago. We had a family dog (and cat) of our own for 12 years and it was heart-wrenching to have to leave her back in Sydney (she was re-homed with a beautiful family). I am a caring and compassionate person and connect very quickly with dogs, and I can't wait to get some 'doggy-time' with your companion dog! I used to run quite a bit with our dog back in Sydney, so if your dog is that way inclined I'd be very happy to take them for a run from time to time, or every time! :) Unfortunately, as much as I'd love to I cannot dog sit in our place in Burlingame as our landlord does not allow pets. :(
Reviews
Colin and his wife Caz watched my two Great Dane mix dogs over memorial day weekend at my place. They sent photos several times a day to let me know what they were up to, and it looks like my dogs had an amazing time hiking and exploring the neighborhood with them. I was incredibly pleased with Colin & Caz's warmth and professionalism! They made me feel at ease leaving my dogs with them. My dogs had recently licked some spots on their body, and I asked Colin to use a medicated spray while I was gone. When I came back, their spots were mostly healed. This tells me that they were comfortable while I was gone, and that Colin was consistent with applying the medicated spray. I greatly appreciate this. While my dogs are incredibly easy to care for, they are very large, and require a confident and even tempered sitter, Colin was exactly that. I highly recommend Colin as a pet sitter and will definitely use him again when I need my dogs watched. Thank you so much Colin and Caz!
Colin has been pet sitting my large Golden Doodle , Charlie, for a number of years. Charlie adores Colin and literally shakes with excitement every time he comes over. Colin is reliable, responsible, honest, kind and most importantly, he loves animals. His responsibilities have included dog sitting and house sitting. I highly recommend Colin as a dog sitter ! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
As a next door neighbour of Colin's for many years, I can only say great things about the care and love he gave to his gorgeous dog,Jarrah. He always had plenty of love and attention for my dog too when she heard him in out in the garden and went over to visit!
I have known Colin for over 10 years and we often walk dogs together and he also have been looking after my dog many times. He is known for his gentle way we animals and love for dogs. I would highly recommend him to look after dogs

Information Colin F. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs no matter the size! The most important thing I would need to know is general health (and age) of the dog and how active they are, to understand any general limits. Of course, older dogs might want to have gentle works instead of brisk walks, or chasing a ball etc. Another important piece of information is how well socialized they are, how good are they (or not) around other dogs and people in general. That will dictate how strict I am in allowing interaction with other dogs/people on my dog walking expeditions.
A typical day
We would go to Marshall Park in Burlingame, or a park local to you, or the Bay Trail, or maybe you have suggestions or preferences around your home. I am all ears!
