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
Colby was amazing with both of our dogs and caring for our home while we were out of town. He was attentive & gave us updates often without us having to ask. We have a senior dog who requires special feeding methods and medications and Colby did amazing with him and his restrictions. He also played with them and gave them lots of love starting at the meet and greet which was a major green flag. Would book again!
Colby did an amazing job house/dog sitting our 2 Doodles. He did everything that was asked of him and then some. He was in contact with me the entire time we were gone. He also sent photos frequently of our pups. Our male LOVED Colby but our female had a difficult time though (no fault of Colby’s). He did the best he could with her to care for her while also not causing unnecessary stress. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask him to watch our male Doodle again!!
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!
