About Colby M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a dog owner, I understand the importance of safety and trust when leaving your cherished friend with another. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions closely, and I keep the home clean while I’m there. For dog walking and enrichment, I tailor each walk to the dog’s age, energy level, and needs, whether that means a relaxed stroll, structured exercise, or mentally stimulating activities like sniff breaks and basic reinforcement. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure dogs are properly leashed, hydrated, and supervised at all times. I communicate consistently with pet parents through updates and photos so they feel confident their dog is receiving attentive, reliable care.
Information Colby M. would like to know about your pet
Please do let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks! I’ve cared for many different types of dogs ranging in size, disposition, and breed, and any specific information about their personality and lifestyle helps me deliver the quality of care and love I want your pet to have.
A typical day
I like to tailor my dog-sitting to each unique dog by collaborating with the owner to develop a care plan for their pet, which includes personalized play and stimulation. From high-energy play outside with toys to running in the park on a leash to indoor play at home, I can cover it all!

Experienced, Loving Dog Care
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs year-round since my teenage years, regularly dog-sitting for friends and family and gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’ve raised and cared for two dogs of my own in both urban and rural settings in East Tennessee, which taught me how to adapt routines, exercise, and enrichment to different environments. As a current dog owner, I understand how important consistency, patience, and genuine affection are when trusting someone with your pet. Dogs have been a constant part of my life, and I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own-safe, loved, and well-understood.
Reviews
Colby is punctual, dependable, and a good communicator!
Stabler loves his weekly walks with Colby!
Colby was great! Offered a meet and greet which I appreciate. Was punctual, professional, and had good communication sending pictures and the map of the walk.
Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.
