Availability
I'm fortunate to be working from home for my job, so my attention is readily available to your pet and being able to stay close them. And without any other responsibilities except for myself and my dog, Mochi, your pet will be my priority as well.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand the anxiousness, concern, and overall stress leaving your loving pet with anyone. I do with my own dog, so I want to do whatever I can to help reassure you that your pet is my top responsibility for its safety, health and wellbeing. I will take them out as needed to get in steps, fresh air, and to do their business. I also have a large dog potty patch on the balcony to ensure any urgent moments they can be let out to do their business as well. They have full access to my home, whether that's the couch, bed, other dog beds, toys, etc. And my dog is crate trained, while there are multiple rooms that I am able to separate them if necessary. Note that my dog is extremely passive, he is not able to go to dog parks due to others dog bullying him, while he does not prefer to bark or even play with toys (though there are tons of toys available since he doesn't touch all the toys he's gotten over the years). This is to reassure you how passive my dog is. If you need anything, please call or text me any time for updates or inquires. And I will ensure timely updates are provided including photos and videos as you like. Please let me know if your pet has any allergies, temperament concerns, medication needs, or any concerns that I should know about. Also note that if I am house sitting for you and your pet, I would like to ask that my dog Mochi is able to come and stay as well, he is insured with Lemonade and we can establish boundaries and rules for him.

Information Colin D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any allergies, temperament concerns, medication needs, or any concerns that I should know about. Especially feeding times, feeding instructions, medication instructions, etc. are all critical as I want to ensure they get as much consistency with me as they do at their own home.
A typical day
I have tons of toys and dog puzzles that I love to ensure they are able to stay stimulated anytime. I will take them on walks in my neighborhood with paved hiking trails, paved backroads, and parks. if they like to fetch, there are plenty of grassy places I can throw the ball with them. At night, we'll snuggle up anywhere they prefer as we wind down the day. and by bedtime they are more than welcome to join me in my bed or other dog beds throughout my room.

Reviews

Appreciative to have Colin care for my dog, Benji! Colin made sure Benji went on several walks each day and had his designated meals. He also provided extra attention to Benji by caring for his itchy paws each day. He shared photos of any products and special treats with me prior to giving them, which was very thoughtful and generous. Colin communicated daily and sent photos and videos. He was super easy to talk to and really nice too! I'd definitely recommend him!!!

Colin is the best! Fluffy loves going over there to hangout with Colin and Mochi and I have no fear that my dog is in great hands. I appreciate all of his updates and attention to detail. His place is Disneyland for dogs!
Colin did a fantastic job my my dog, going above and beyond what was expected. Would definitely recommend!

Collin took great care of our dog. He was super communicative and sent lots of pics and videos throughout the weekend. Would love to have him watch our dog again!
