Your Dog’s New Best Friend

Hi there! I’m Cole, a passionate and reliable pet caregiver with years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. I’ve personally cared for 7 dogs and 2 cats and gained hands-on experience at a Doggy Daycare/Hotel. I specialize in providing personalized care, from playtime and feeding routines to extra attention for pets with unique needs. I understand how important it is for your pets to feel comfortable and safe while you're away, and I’m here to ensure they’re cared for like family.

Cole was spectacular with our older basset hounds. He was able to get both of them on walks (not easy with one being a little grumpy with new people). Both dogs while happy to see us, didn’t seem like they had been stressed while we were away- a big improvement for us! Cole also kept our home on great order, dealt with a clogged sink, and even watered my plants (without me asking!). We can’t wait to use him again for future times away- the boys seemed to enjoy his presence.

Drop-In Visits • Nov 23, 2025

We’d like to thank Cole for his amazing help! We were in a difficult situation when our dog sitter disappeared on the very day we left for vacation. I was so nervous my vacation could be ruined. We suddenly had to look for someone new while already away, fully expecting it to be a complete stranger. But thank God, Cole turned out to be an incredible person who immediately stepped in and took great care of our pets. We are beyond grateful! A million thanks!!! Highly recommended - 100%! 🐾

House Sitting • Nov 14, 2019

This was our first time using Rover, and Cole put us right at ease right from the start. He came for a meet and greet before us officially booking, which was great so we could all meet ahead of time to see if it was a good fit. We felt really comfortable with him, so we decided to move forward with house sitting the pups for the weekend. Cole stayed in constant contact throughout the whole process, even sending us pics, which I loved :). He played ball with them, their favorite past time, and fit right into their daily schedule, even letting them hop on the bed with him at night like they do with us. He also kept the house neat, which I felt was an added bonus. Our goal is to form a long-term relationship with someone, and we feel that Cole is just that person. Thanks for taking such good care of our fur babies! :)

Cole did an amazing job looking after Fritz. Fritz is a senior dog and Cole made sure his needs were met. He kept us posted and sent pics during his stay with Fritz. Definitely we will ask him to look after Fritz in the future

Cole did a great job taking care of Leo! From insuring that our pup’s harness seatbelt was securely fastened during transportation, to texting photos throughout the day, Other reviewers mention that Cole loves animals, and that is evident as soon as you meet him. Cole was attentive and very interested in learning preferences and needs. He was also very accommodating and flexible, and came up with a creative pickup plan to help avoid beach traffic. I highly recommend Cole - your pet will be in great hands!

I care for pets of all breeds and sizes. To provide the best care, I ask for details about dietary needs, behavioral traits, medical conditions, feeding schedules, bathroom routines, and bedtimes. If your pet is new to your family, I’d also like to understand their behavior to better prepare for our time together.
