Fur Friend Lover and Advocate

Pet care experience

Long time dog owner and shelter volunteer. I've picked up all the tricks for handling dogs of all temperaments and dealing with behavioral issues from working with trainers for my own dogs as well as being coached by the animals trainers during the years I worked on the Nickelodeon Jr show Mutt & Stuff. My dogs, Tango and Lobo, will occasionally make appearances on my film & television projects.

Colin did an incredible job looking after our pup, and went above and beyond accepting an extra night stay when we were held up by weather. Thanks Colin!

Colin was amazing! He took excellent care of my pup and sent pictures with updates. Really happy to hear the fun my dog had with his. 10/10 would book again!

Colin was a SuperHost for our dog!! He took it above and beyond by meeting with us at a dog park beforehand to calm our nerves since we have never left her alone outside of family before in the past. Colin listened to all of our needs and was even able to help with some of the things we were concerned about while leaving her with him such as her reactiveness to other dogs, it helped he had two dogs of his own that tired her out with multiple picture updates! We are extremely grateful for Colin and would definitely be looking for him in the future if schedules line up!

Colin was communicative, accommodating, and took super care of our pup, who had a great time with Colin’s dogs- can’t ask for more! Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two very friendly and accepting dogs of my own that openly welcome others into their pack. Lobo is 12 and largely keeps to himself, but my Australian Shepard Tango who is 5 and blind love to play and snuggle other pups (but also is well keyed into their social cues and desired level of interaction). We generally make frequent visits to the local dog park, but can also avoid depending on owners preferences. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my home, but I will always mirror whatever house rules the client maintains for their pets to avoid initiating future unwanted behaviors.
