Cole was fantastic. On time and communicative. Dealt with some unexpected snow on the driveway without issue. It was great to know my pets were well cared for!

Cole has been a trusted pet sitter for us for the past few years. He has been amazing with all of our dogs, our skittish cats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. He is attentive and has a good sense of scheduling. No matter what craziness we left him with on our makeshift farm, he has risen to the occasion and put the animals first. You will not be disappointed trusting him with your fur babies.

Cole is an honest, hardworking young man. He’s Greta with my two dogs. Takes amazing care of them and is very patient with them. My 2 very high energy dogs are my babies, now that my kids are all older, and admittedly just a little spoiled. They are young and need a lot of exercise- which Cole does with them as needed. I am extremely particular about leaving them alone with anyone, but I don’t hesitate with Cole. He has the right combination of patience and authority they need. He asks questions when he appropriate and is dependable. If he says he will be there- he will. My boys adore him. Highly Recommend!!!

Hello, my name is Diana Anton, 27 Kelly Road, Middlebury, ct. I have been a neighbor and friend to Cole and Coles famiy since they moved here, well over 15 years ago. i have been treated to see Cole grow from a sweet, quiet child to a smart, dedicated adult who is continuing his education and dreams. Smart, earnest, engaged family brother and son, a good and trustworthy neighbor and friend. Cole has fed my myriad of pets for many years while my adventures took me elsewhere. He is very good with animals and interacts with them. His family has 2 springer spaniels who he walks and plays with. Cole is an Eagle Scout. Anyone who hires Cole will be satisfied with his trusted care of of customers pets. You can also trust him emphatically to respect others property. best, diana anton
