Availability

Part-time hours during my weekdays currently often leaves me quite flexible, especially afternoons, for walks, check-ins or play-time! I am mainly involved in contract gig-work, which does fill some of my weekends, so I’m not always available Mon, or Th-Su, but happy to fit it in when available! Please check my calendar or ask about availability! I regularly enjoy going for walks (long, or short) around Victoria, so I'm regularly available for, and interested in, bringing a four-legged friend along for the adventure!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a firm believer in getting down to an animal’s level when interacting with them, especially with new introductions and being in an animal's home space, and would do everything possible to make an animal feel comfortable with new human interactions. I take animals' trust seriously and do my utmost to keep eyes open and respond to their needs to maintain those relationships. Making animals as comfortable as possible is my goal, and I'll do my best to keep you up-to-date on your furred friend's experiences while I'm looking after them on your behalf. I'm also happy to maintain, to the best of my ability, your pet's routines and expectations, and will touch base with you to learn as much as I can about your pet to set myself up for success! Let's chat and work together to meet you and your pet's needs!

Information Cole B. would like to know about your pet

I will ask for Meet & Greets for all new clients. Please let me know any detailed specifics about your furred family member at / before these M&Gs. Allergies, medications, and the insider scoop on their temperament around the house, outdoors and around other people and animals are essentials so I can provide your pal the best care possible

A typical day

We’ll go for walkies on the beach and nearby paths, toss in some playtime at the park, and follow it up with a snack at home where we’ll bark at the mailman, and then probably fall asleep on the couch!

Pet care experience

I’ve been looking after and interacting with animals of all types, furred & otherwise, since I was able to stand up say hi! Well versed in sitting, walking (or jogging), playing, and providing care in general for dogs, cats & rabbits (well maybe not walking the latter two as much) for both friends and family, I'm sure I can provide the care and attention you desire for your animals as well. My most current long-term care experience is with a rescue rabbit I share a home with. I've learned a lot about animal care, respect, and boundaries by carefully observing body language and learning his needs. I enjoy learning more about his quirks and teaching him new tricks. In addition to the bunny, I currently reside with a few creepy-crawlies!

Cole was a great dog/home sitter for our bigger boy dog who is a rescue and can be reactive on walks!! He was diligent in updating us on his walks and activities while including photos. He seemed to take our dog on a few different nice walks around our neighbourhood. He has a calm presence and seemed to get along very well with our dog- we will book Cole again!

Cole saved my bacon. My previous sitter cancelled last minute and he was very obliging and accommodating last minute. Even my spicy cat seemed to like him at the end. Would definitely recommend. Good first experience.

Cole is amazing! He is very professional, he went above and beyond to understand exactly what my dog needed, and to accommodate me as well. My dog loves him! I highly recommend Cole for all of your pet care needs!
