Boarding • juil. 06, 2026

We had a great experience with him! He took amazing care of our american bulldog and kept us updated throughout the stay with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of attention. He was reliable, communicative, and treated our dog like one of his own. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter!

Colby is energetic, loving, and truly great with animals. Pets have a wonderful time with him and always feel safe and cared for. Beyond his love for animals, Colby is also highly responsible and dependable. You can count on him to show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and handle any situation with thoughtfulness and care.

Schedule

I'm currently working part time remote which allows plenty of flexibility with pet care. I have a dog and cat of my own, both of which are friendly. I can do boarding as long as they're friendly with other dogs - I can keep the cat in another room if needed. Have my own transportation.

Pets

A typical day

If boarding, Ideally would be friendly with dogs and cats but I can keep my cat in a separate room if needed. Would like to know their energy level, how they do with driving to possibly bring them to fun spots.
