Caring & Reliable Dog Lover

I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals, but dogs are my absolute favourite. I have taken care of my own dogs, but friends and neighbours also rely on me to take care of their pets. I always make sure to account for the needs of the pets in my care, whether they need a walk, a bathroom break, or a tummy rub. I also have a supportive family that also loves dogs. The dogs in my care have a totally supportive environment.

Colin and his family was very nice and flexible, we needed to drop Luna off a bit earlier and there were no issues! Colin was sending a lot of updates and photos, we knew she’s in good hands, she’s had fab time!! Thank you again, we will definitely book you again! 😊

Colin was great with Archie, walked and fed him as we asked and shared some lovely pictures of 🐶on the walks! Will definitely visit again as Archie had a great time and a helpful drop off when and where we needed it. Thanks!!

Milo had a wonderful time with Colin and his lovely family. Colin made sure I was getting photo updates throughout Milo’s stay with him which made me feel reassured and I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying about him. I will 100% rebook with Colin. 5* pet sitter!

As always, Colin and family go over and above in caring for our dog Frank. We always go away feeling confident and assured that our dog is very well looked after. Thank you so much..

Nelson was certainly excited to see Colin today. Colin has looked after him well, taking him for plenty of walks and picking g him up and dropping g him off on time. It is good to k now I can go out and know that Nelson is in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Colin, he is very pleasant and has a great way with dogs.
