Can't wait to meet your best friend

Pet care experience

I've always grown up with dogs in the household, and have pet-sat for 10 pound Bichons through 100 pound Greater Swiss Mountain dogs. I'm comfortable with low energy Golden Retrievers who love to lounge around all day, but am also used to an energetic Pit Bull who needs closer supervision around other dogs. Tell me more about your best friend, and how I can make them the most comfortable!

I can’t recommend Colin enough. I’ve boarded my dog with him several times over the last two years — he’s one of the few people I trust to take care of my pup, whether it’s for a night or a whole week. Colin has been very quick to respond & answer questions, he followed detailed care instructions and sent a ton of pictures, which really eased my anxiety when I was away. My dog also loves spending time with Colin! She knows she’s in for lots of exercise, care, attention (and treats of course!)

Colin did a great job watching Pete. He was tired and relaxed when I picked him up. I would have Colin watch Pete again.

Colin is a caring,responsible, loving pet sitter. He has donated his time at the Boston SPCA spending his valuable time learning about the different dogs and their personalities. He grew up with dogs and is very comfortable with animals. He has been instrumental in teaching dogs new tricks and how to walk properly on leash. I recommend him highly as a loving dog caregiver.
