Availability
❤️ I am self-employed and for the most part am home most of the day, so your dog will have my attention throughout the day. My schedule’s flexible, so I can stick to your dog’s routine. Your dogs needs are my perfect excuse to procrastinate. Neighborhood walks, playing fetch in the yard will give your dog lots of steady, loving attention throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment
🏡 Safety and comfort are everything here. I live in my own home, and your dog will have full run of the space — no crates (unless requested), no off-limits furniture, and plenty of cozy places to relax. I only host one guest dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention and a peaceful, low-stress environment. I do have one friendly resident dog who’s used to sharing and enjoys having new siblings. I always introduce dogs slowly to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your dog will be treated like family — with lots of love, supervision, and space to just be a dog.

Information Colby w. would like to know about your pet
❤️ I like to know what makes your dog feel safe and what throws them off. Are they crate-trained? Food- or toy-protective? Reactive on leash? Do they have quirks, fears, or routines that help them settle in? I also want to know about any medical needs, allergies, or behaviors you'd like me to support (or avoid). The more I know upfront, the smoother the stay — for everyone. 🐾
A typical day
🎾 A typical day includes lots of sniff breaks, belly rubs, and unhurried time just being together. We’ll go on neighborhood “sniffaris,” hang out in the yard, play fetch (or flop in the sun), and have plenty of cuddle time inside. I work from home, so your dog won’t be alone — they’ll have company, consistency, and a calm, cozy vibe all day. If they’re playful, my own dog is happy to be their sidekick. If they’re more of a napper, we’ll all enjoy some good lazy lounging. Every dog’s different, and I adjust the day to fit their needs.🦴

Pet care experience
🐕 I get it — your dog Is your best friend. I work from home, so I’m here all day for belly rubs, long walks, and neighborhood adventures. I only take one Rover dog at a time, so your pup gets my full attention. Dogs are welcome on the couch — and pretty much anywhere they feel comfortable. My own dog is friendly and playful and is an Einstein when it comes to sensing when another dog needs space. My house has a yard and has a laid back Summer Camp vibe.
Reviews
Colby was the perfect sitter for Logan. His energy and knowledge of dogs gave us a lot of comfort to leave him in his care. He kept our dog engaged, happy and most importantly, in great spirits. Colby kept us informed, sent us many pictures and communicated anything worth of concern. Absolutely would recommend his services!
Colby was such a great petsitter for our Tillie! He was very intuitive about her needs and followed her schedule really well. He went above and beyond in helping us introduce her to more socialization, which usually makes her anxious. Colby's own dog was very sweet and made Tillie feel more comfortable. We'd definitely book again!
We had a great experience! Colby watched my dog Luna for a few days while I was on a work trip and took excellent care of her. I really appreciated all the photos and updates he sent; it gave me peace of mind knowing she was doing well. Luna clearly had a wonderful time, especially playing with his pup. I’d definitely book with him again!
Colby is fantastic! He was super responsive: posting multiple pictures of our pup everyday while we were away. We will use him again!
