Experienced Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Colby! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I have been around dogs my entire life and have had my current two pups my entire adult life. I have a particular fondness for goldens and Great Danes, but all adult dogs who are house trained and enjoy spending time with other dogs are welcome! Since I have two dogs of my own I do not accept more than one dog for boarding at a time. My guys’ names are Russell and Bronco. They are very friendly and chill older pups. Both are certified as therapy dogs. I have a good understanding of the way dogs communicate so I can read their body language well. Please feel free to message me with any questions!

Colby was an excellent dog sitter. Our dog enjoyed spending the weekend with her and her dogs. She sent many pictures and kept in touch throughout the duration of his stay which put us at ease. And her place has great outdoor space with is not typical in the city. We will definitely use Colby again in the future.

Colby was amazing! She made our Georgia girl feel right at home. Her two sweet dogs were great for Georgia to keep her company and put her at ease. We will definitely use Colby again!

Finley had a great time with Colby, Russell, and Bronco! She was very accommodating, communicated throughout the stay and treated Fin like one of her own pups. Highly recommend!

Colby was wonderful, professional and helped me out last minute. My pets didn’t even notice my absence.
