Pet care experience

I provide a dog-friendly home*** in Ravenna with a very clean, poop-free and fenced-in backyard (with doggy door), and close proximity to great parks, including Magnuson dog park. Sam (my golden) and I love small dogs as well as large, and your pooch will have companionship 24 hrs/day at our home, ***Note: --we are unable to take high-energy, anxious, hyper and/or aggressive dogs right now Our primary focus is to provide a safe, affordable, convenient, and stress-free alternative to dog kennels and ranches. Your dog will receive a lot of attention, exercise, and love at our home. About this sitter: Raised in the Midwest, I've been a proud Seattlite for the last ~20 years. Why I love dog sitting Like a lot of folks on Rover, I've had dogs my entire life. Mostly golden retrievers, but I love all dogs (including small ones). About my yard I have a fully fenced, dog-friendly, poop-free back yard with toys and the occasional shoe strewn about (see pic).

Our pup had a wonderful stay with Colin! I have only positive things to say. Excellent communication throughout the whole stay. Colin was attentive to Rocky's needs, gave him plenty of attention and exercise, and overall took excellent care of him. It was clear that Rocky enjoyed his time with Sam; he didn't want to leave! We would absolutely trust Colin to care for Rocky again.

Colin took great care of my Meme. From all pics that Colin sent me, I could tell she was having a wonderful time! Colin knows his dogs. He’s definitely a dog lover and has so much knowledge and experience with them that I would definitely recommend him.

Colin is the best. Gemma had such great adventures in Seattle with Colin. Gemma sends her love from OR. We hope that she will visit him again sometime when we pass through Seattle.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Dog walks to Ravenna Park, and around the neighborhood are typical. Also, I make a visit to Magnuson dog park daily. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in its own 'guest doggie bed', next to the heater in my bedroom. Time I'll spend with your dog I provide 24/7 care--your dog will not be left alone. They will accompany me to the office, dog park, and in the car while out and about. Time I'll spend with your dog Assuming your home is nearby, I would stop by 3 times/day to provide food, attention, and walks and/or dog park visit.
