Dog loving veterinary assistant

Pet care experience

I have a B.S. in Animal Science with a pre-veterinary concentration from a Cornell University, 4 years experience as a veterinary assistant (currently taking a gap year before applying to veterinary school!), and have spent the last 3 years as a puppy sitter and dog trainer for the Guiding Eyes Training Program at Cornell. I am new to CA and very much missing my own pets back home— looking to find some new furry friends to give my love and attention to in the meantime!

I really appreciated his help, and responsiveness. Colin left our house in a great shape. My dog and cat were well treated and happy with his care. He also let us know how the pets were doing.

Colin was great! He’s very personable and super responsive…he even checked to make sure we got back from our trip okay just in case we needed an extra visit! 😉

My dogs were well treated and well fed. Colin quickly contacted me with any questions or problems. I felt very safe having him in my house while I was gone.

Safety, trust & environment

Sometimes an animal’s curiosity can get the best of them— I believe the best way to create a safe environment is to minimize potential hazards from the get go. I maintain a very clean, organized home and always seek to have plenty of enrichment opportunities available for your pet to keep them stimulated and out of trouble! Whether is playtime, puzzle toys, or simply burning some energy outdoors, I’ll make sure your pet is always entertained and support their natural curiosity in a healthy, safe manner.

Information Colin D. would like to know about your pet

I love all ages, sizes, and breeds. Please let me know if your dog has any activity preferences, physical restrictions, or social triggers I should be aware of.

A typical day

I love to keep your dog entertained! Whether it’s going to the park around the corner from me, walking the neighborhood, or just playing with toys, a busy dog is a happy dog.
