Pet care experience

Life long dog owner and ethusiant

Hi! I’m Colin. The term ‘dog enthusiast’ doesn't quite cover it— I have always been surrounded by dogs. Growing up, as a hobby, my parents bred golden retrievers. Through the years, we raised and found great homes for dozens of goldens. At one point, we found ourselves surrounded by 22 golden retrievers, with two litters coinciding. Here, the values instilled in me by my parents took root. Kindness and respect towards animals became second nature, forming the foundation of my lifelong commitment to providing the best for our four-legged friends. With over 5 years of professional dog care experience, I have developed a wealth of knowledge and experience in how dogs interact with one another. I've yet to meet a dog I haven't loved. Together with my Golden Retriever, Lloyd, we would love to help with your furry friends.

Koi always has a fantastic time staying with Colin! He gets to enjoy plenty of playtime in the yard and receives loads of attention. Colin is incredibly responsive, regularly providing updates and photos. When Koi comes back home, he's always worn out from all the activity, which reassures us that he's well cared for during his stay. We couldn't be happier knowing our pup is in such capable hands with Colin.

Collin was amazing with my dog Hazel! She looked happy and was having fun! He kept her busy with his dog and another. In all picture updates she looked happy and at home. Will definitely use Collin again!

Colin is a fantastic dog sitter! Briggs loved his weekend of running around and going on walks. We got tons of pictures and updates which were super cute and very appreciated. We’ll definitely be coming back to Colin next time we need a sitter!

Collin was the best sitter! He did a great job of sending updates, pictures and videos of our dog all throughout the weekend. She seemed to always be having a blast playing with his dog and on walks. Theres nothing better than knowing your dog is treated just as good at someone else's house as your own!

Schedule

Working from home and having control of my schedule provides me with plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. Living in the Ruby Hill area, I have convenient access to all of Denver. I am home 90% of the day. When not home, I have Ring cameras that allow me to monitor all pet activity in my house.

Safety, trust & environment

With over 1000 sq ft of fully fenced-in yard, I have plenty of room for activities! Living by myself, my day is fully dedicated to providing the best pet care possible. My house is always well-kept, clean, and safe. I use natural cleaning products. It is a very pet-friendly house/living area. No children or small toys/objects to worry about. Multiple walks a day in a safe neighborhood, as well as around Huston Park.

Pets

A typical day

Walks, fetch, tug-of-war, as well as a fully time golden retriever to play with. While the large yard does provide plenty of play space, I also take my dog on walks around the block or to the local park.

I've been raised to treat all animals with love and respect. I've lived around dogs my entire life. For 8 weeks I lived with 20 golden retriever puppies (it was awesome). I have cared for dogs from the second they were born and through the span of their natural lives. I understand that dogs need/want attention, and love giving it to them.
