Have had dogs all of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I'm a grad student with plenty of time on my hands - let me spend some of it taking care of your dog. Trust that your dog will have a great time with Colin - we'll just be chillin'. Had a dachshund, yellow lab, and golden retriever going up. They lived in loving homes and lived very long and fulfilling lives. I'm happy to spend time with your dog in whatever capacity you'd like. I love being outside and going for long walks, going to the dog park, meeting other dogs and other people, playing fetch, going swimming, or just horsing around. Happy to stay at home visits and spend quality time with your dog while you're away.
