Highlights
Pet care experience
Here to take away your dog worries!
I grew up with a Bernese Mountain Dog and have watched/walked countless dogs throughout my 24yrs of life. From energetic to mellow, introverted to extroverted, and aggressive to gentle. I have always been able to breakthrough and bring out the sweethearts they are! I have experience working with mistreated Pit Bulls during my time in college. On top of that, I spent a summer volunteering in a dog van bathing service. Plain and simple, I have spent a lot of time with dogs! I truly love them and think they are all wonderful with the proper care and affection!

Ratings and reviews
Excellent communication!
Colin did a great job watching my dog! He sent lots of updates and was super communicative.
Colin was very patient, caring, and you can tell that he genuinely loves animals. He treats every animal like they're his own and they loved him. He is also diligent and punctual. I would feel very comfortable hiring him again to care for a pet.
Colin took care of my dog Stanley last week and did a great job! I’ve never seen my dog so happy, I will be using him every time in the future.
Colin was the first person I would call when I needed somebody to take care of my Bernese mountain dogs, he cares for every animal immensely and I wouldn't want anybody else looking after my pup!
Colin is the best! Super flexible and communicative and so great with our puppy. I’m never worried leaving her in Colin’s hands when we’re away :)

Schedule
Pet care is my primary focus as of now. Willing and able to work whenever possible! I recently graduated from Colorado State and will be attending Northwestern for my masters in the fall. Until then, I will be dog walking/sitting. I look forward to working with you all!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious three floor apartment with one roommate, who is also a huge dog lover and well experienced with dogs. We have an outdoor fenced in patio that is suitable for all dogs. We also have no other animals in the house. We are smoke free and all house plants are animal friendly. In terms of care, I first assure the dog feels safe and comfortable. Time is needed in order to let them become so. Secondly, I make sure simple needs are met: water, food, bathroom. It is all about being aware and open to a dog’s subtle gestures. The right environment is crucial to set the tone and mood of the dog! In my care, I hope to make every dog feel safe and loved!
A typical day
I live close to many parks so I enjoy running around with them there or throwing around a ball! For very high energy dogs, I can walk far distances or even go on runs if the owner would like!
