Experienced k9 caretaker

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Colby. I grew up with dogs and have been involved with them most of my life. For me, dogs have always been my best friends. I have over 25 years of experience working in animal shelters, pet-sitting, behavior training, walking, hiking and exercising dogs. I live in a home with my wife and our 8 year old black lab in a fully-fenced yard. I’ll only take one dog at a time, so your dog will be the center of my attention. Feel free to message me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your dog.

You can’t beat Colby for kind, attentive care for your dog. He’s got lots of experience and goes the distance for your pet and you.

Colby was incredibly flexible and kind with our schedule. He took our pup on a long hike and she couldn't stop smiling when we got her back!

I accept dogs of all breeds. Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues such as aggression towards humans or other animals. This is important in order to provide a safe environment.

A typical day

I frequent Forest Hill Park, Belle Isle, and Reedy Creek for trail walks and splashing around in the river. My dog and I usually do a 45-minute walk in the afternoon, and would be more than happy to bring additional company.
