Information Colin F. would like to know about your pet

How comfortable are they around other dogs + new dogs? I often host doggy daycare sessions at my home during the day, and can keep dogs on separate floors if they are not exactly vibing with on another at any given time.

A typical day

I really enjoy figuring out a dog's unique play style by paying attention to their cues and body language. I can keep up with the most energetic pets, and am just as happy to spend quality time with certified couch potatoes.

WFH experienced fosterer

Pet care experience

Experienced fosterer who has cared for and rehabilitated many dogs. Experience with post-surgery care, dogs with behavioral issues, training, mouthy/chompy dogs. I have a soft spot for knuckleheads who are still learning manners. Can administer medication. I love all dogs, and I understand that each pup has their own unique needs.

Colin was great! Super patient and willing to work with our sweet girls quirks. Lady Bug came home well regulated and well tired out from her day and we look forward to booking with Colin again.

Colin is genuinely the most caring and knowledgeable person I've ever met when it comes to dogs. I've watched him foster two dogs since he started as a foster in December and they both became amazing, well adjusted dogs that got adopted out to good homes. He has also helped me with raising and training my young rescue that I adopted in January and has watched her for me when I needed a dogsitter and she adores him. He leads even difficult dogs with confidence, is firm in (positive reinforcement) training/correction, navigates socialization/reactivity issues deftly, and always puts the dogs first and makes sure they have fun. There's no one I could recommend more!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
