Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable animal lover
I have had dogs that I trained and took care of through the first 18 years of my life before I moved here to attend UNM. I occasionally watch my neighbors dog and helped train him when they were ill-equipped to do so.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I only provide care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their normal environment and routine. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits your dog has. I make sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. That includes regular walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. While staying in your home, I treat it with respect—keeping things clean, bringing in mail/packages, and making sure everything is secure. I’m reliable with timing and always show up when expected. I also send regular updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well and you don’t have to worry while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you Colby you did amazing job with frog thank you
First impressions are always helpful in making a decision. Colby did not dissapoint during our "Meet and Greet" at our home. He genuinely displayed affection for dogs during his visit. We left him notes on feeding/medication schedules, their habits, and yard time. He was great at sending updates, a few videos, and taking care of our mail, watering our plants and yard. We were also relieved that he was a Ring App user. All we had to do was; add him as a user with his own code which enabled him to activate our alarm when he was away for several hours. Upon our return, everything in our home was just as we left it. Thank you Colby. We would choose him again should the need arise. We rated 4 stars because this was our first experience with Colby.
Colby did an excellent job with our senior dogs. He was communicative, timely and made sure we were super comfortable. Our pups seemed very relaxed around him. Would definitely book again!
Colby was an excellent pet sitter! Enjoyable to meet, thoughtful, attentive, responsible. Very sweet with my animals. Sent regular photos and updates and was available for an extra night when I had a flight issue. I highly recommend Colby!
Colby was on time and had great communication. I would highly recommend him. He was available for a last minute sitting. Colby was awesome with our four high energy fur babies. Colby had a great personality and our four four babies liked him very well.
Colby has grown up with many animals and has learned to care for them including guinea pigs, cats and dogs of all sizes. He's even met an Amazon parrot. At one point we had four dogs, some that we adopted and some that adopted us. Colby was caring for our animals alone when we had to go out of town since he was a young teenager and is trustworthy, reliable and very loving. He has been our neighbor's go-to caretaker for their two dogs when they go out of town, and he was even able to train one of them (Hank) from a puppy when the neighbors were struggling with some behaviors. He's a reliable animal lover!
