He was fantastic. Unfortunately, I can't afford a tip.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 10, 2025

This was our first time using Rover and we can only hope future Rover experiences will be as good as this one. Colin was quick to respond when we were booking, after booking and the day of our dog’s stay. Guinness gets a little anxious but Colin seemed to deal well with our pup’s issues. He has a calm demeanor which is perfect for our pup. Highly recommend Colin. Would use him again in a heartbeat! We were lucky to find a Rover caretaker who didn’t have any pets which was what we needed.

We felt very comfortable knowing that Colin was taking care of Rocky. He got Rocky out for lots of exercise and made Rocky feel right at home. Would absolutely recommend him to friends and family!

Colin was great! Showed up on time and was very comfortable with the two kitties. When we got back the kittens were purring away. Will use Colin again!

Schedule

Currently working a 9-5 job but I'm free on weekends! I have a dog park, large yard and trails close to my apartment and I walk twice a day regardless of if I have a dog with me or not!
