Couple of Dog Lovers - Fenced Yard
Pet care experience
Colin: Growing up I have always had dogs, ranging from an easy going collie-sheep dog mutt named Daisy, to an immensely stubborn Basset hound named Norman. I now have my own dog (Oliver) who is very high energy and loves all things outdoors. I love to take dogs for runs if they're able, and walks if not. High energy dogs are my favorite, as they keep things interesting and demand walks, which keep me active. I can brush, and trim most dogs nails even if they do not prefer their paws touched (The secret is to put peanut butter on a plate). I volunteered at a Greyhound rescue in State College while attending Penn State, where I learned how to handle sensitive and shy dogs. For the past four years I have been commissioned to paint and draw portraits of families beloved pets. Leah: My family only got a dog once I started college so I missed out on growing up with them, but am making up for that by getting my own dog after graduating and spending time watching other dogs. I’m a bit of an obsessive dog mama and worry about leaving my pup, so I want to make sure others feel comfortable leaving their dogs in our care by sending lots of photos/videos and staying in touch. I’ve house/pet sitted for a few years now and love spending time with all the pups. I’ve taken care of several dogs that require medication. Our dog loves to play but is good about matching another dog’s interest levels, so if your dog doesn’t like to play he will leave them alone.
Reviews
From the meet & greet to the pick up, I experienced nothing but great service from Colin. Pictures, videos, text messages and even a phone call assured me that my Bella was being well looked after.
Colin & Leah We're Amazing with my 16yr old shitzu who has recently gone blind from caterax last year. I was freaking out leaving my baby with a stranger. They where both very patient and kind with both Desi & I . They sent pictures of Desi during his stay with them. He looked Happy, my husband & I were able to enjoy the concert stress & worry free. I highly recommend them to care of your pet's like the awesome care he gave Desi... Thanks again guys., Sincerely, Anthony,Jenn & Desi
Colin was fantastic! Made sure our two dogs got along and welcomed Lil into his home. They sent TONS of photos, even for the one night Lil was there. Appreciate their care and attention to detail for my sweet girl!
Colin was awesome! He sent lots of pictures and videos of my pup, gave his meds, walks and lots of play time with his Aussie. Felt like Henry was in great hands while I was gone, will definitely be using him again for sitting.
