Safety, trust & environment

I take my dog for walks everyday, and like to play with her inside with the many toys we have. I also bathe her and cut her nails so I am experienced in interacting closely with dogs

Information Colby B. would like to know about your pet

My dog is very kind and gentle, but does not like being overly close to other dogs. I prefer not to keep dogs that hump a lot as this is a trigger for my dog, who came from a puppy mill

A typical day

There are many winding paths in my neighborhood which makes for a great sniffari. The many sights and smells are great for interactive exploring. I also love to play with dogs in the dog park, especially if they are good at fetch

Colby does an exceptional job at making me feel at ease when I have to leave my fur baby behind during my work travel trips. He provides lots of cute videos and pictures of her playing, sleeping, being silly and makes me feel like I’m still with her. I’ve seen first hand how much he loves animals and I know if there were ever a situation where I need him to take care of her he would! Big and small animals he can do it all!

Colby is absolutely wonderful with animals! He has an adorable dog named Roo, and it's clear he has a special bond with her. I would feel completely comfortable leaving my fur babies with him. Colby is great with all dogs, and he definitely has the strength and experience to handle bigger dogs on walks. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for a caring, responsible dog lover!
