Information Colin H. would like to know about your pet

Anything that can help me give the dog the best care and affection during my time with them. If there are certain paths, certain techniques, or anything that makes the animal comfortable- I want to know that!

A typical day

I will stimulate your pups by encouraging learning tricks and good behaviors as well as spending time running and exercising. I think it is important for dogs to be consistently challenged in positive ways.

Colin was an absolutely wonderful sitter! He kept us updated on how our pups were doing, and our home was in perfect shape when we got home! We'll absolutely reach out to him again and highly recommend!

Sasha fell in love with Colin immediately, and vice versa. I had never met him, I wasn’t home. he was there when he said he would be, he texted me at the end, clearly a full walk and stayed and even played with her for a little while after he brought her home. I will definitely use him again and hope to meet him soon LOL

I am not sure I have ever known anyone who loves animals as much as Colin does, going all the way back to his childhood. I know he carries the love for all the dogs in his life, past and present, to this day, and mentions them frequently. Colin has successfully fostered cats, and currently is the proud owner of a beautiful one. When we were discussing a picture for an album cover recently, the first picture he sent for consideration was one of a cat that was part of our family years ago, and he has kept that picture all this time. There is no question I would trust any of my pets with Colin.
