I treat every fur baby like my kids

Pet care experience

I have been passionate about taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I do not remember a time where I didn’t have atleast one animal under my care. After serving 12 years active duty in the Marine Corps I got out and became a certified dog trainer and then became a certified K9 handler screening cargo in Atlanta. I enjoyed every second of it and have taken the leap to branch out on my own. Please read what sets me apart from every one else and if you still have questions afterwards then do not hesitate to reach out to me! 
-Your pet will have 24/7 supervision and company, if an emergency arises on my end I will immediately reach out to you and let you know, I will never leave your dog unattended because I would not want someone to do it my dog, therefore I always treat visitors with the same respect. -My doggo Milo is considered another one of my kids and yours will be to while under my care! Milo is not kenneled and never will be while we are home or away from home and I will treat your fur babies the same as I do my own pet; they will never be kenneled/crated while under my care unless specifically requested by you. 
 -I will keep in contact at all times and update you on their visit w/photos.

Scamp didn’t want to leave! Normally when I return from a trip, he jumps into my arms and clings to me. Not this time! He did a quick greet, then took off to play again. I will definitely call Colby again and am absolutely comfortable leaving Scamp in his care.

Absolutely fantastic! Made me feel so at ease leaving my pup with him and he was so happy and cared for when he picked him up after 4 days. Daily pictures and texts with updates- couldn’t be happier with awesome Colby was with our very energetic pup.

We left our 8 month old pug with Colby for 5 days and things went wonderfully! Our dog was well cared for and loved on as if he was part of their family. I was kept updated on his activities throughout his stay and was very pleased with the entire experience. He even did some training with him. Definitely will use again in the future for boarding.

Colby and his family were great caretakers for our pet and we will be using his services in the future! Would recommend them to friends and family.

Information Colby C. would like to know about your pet

Any behaviors, anxiety triggers, preferences your dog has would be ideal to know upfront that way I can provide the utmost care suitable for your precious fur baby!

A typical day

I have found out that a bored dog is a destructive dog so stimulating them not only physically but mentally as well will do wonders for their growth and behavior! If your dog enjoys being outside I have tons of dog toys, playing fetch, and teaching your dog basic commands that will help pass the time while stimulating them and keeping them engaged. I will also be taking them on daily walks around the neighborhood atleast twice a day. I am very observant of the heat and will make sure that your doggo has plenty of water to drink and a cool place to lay. We also have two kiddie pools out back specifically for the dogs!
