Colin was great to work with from the beginning of the booking process to the pick up. He answered all our questions promptly. We had a last minute change in pick up time which he was able to accommodate. We have an elderly dog, Colin was very mindful about making sure the walks that were too long. Fred looked very happy and content in the daily photos.

Murphy loved his stay with Colin! Colin was responsive and sent updates throughout the stay. I would certainly have Murphy back to Colin’s again knowing he is in great hands! Highly recommend.

Our dog had an amazing stay with Colin. He was communicative and sent us pictures and videos throughout our trip. When we went to pick up our dog, we could tell that he took such great care of her. We would definitely keep using his service for future stays!

Colin took incredible care of our dogs! We were worried to leave our new puppy with a sitter for the first time, but Colin took incredible care of both of our fur babies. We really appreciated how many photos he sent us and how responsive he was during both the booking and boarding process. Our dogs were so comfortable getting to cuddle on the bed and couch together. They also got tons of walks, treats, and play time. When we picked them up, we loved seeing them both run back to give Colin and his puppy extra cuddles and kisses. It's a sign that they were truly comfortable staying there. We will definitely be rebooking and couldn't recommend Colin enough!

Colin was wonderful. My dog seemed really happy in all the pictures and when she got home. I really appreciate the communication throughout the visit.

This is our 3rd time booking with Colin and he makes our senior pup’s stay so comfortable every time. We love the picture and video updates throughout their stay with him. He treats them like his own and we are so grateful to him!

Schedule

I only work in the office 3-4 days a month. Most weeks, I work from home all week. I take my Lab for a morning walk, afternoon walk, and a dog park in the evening. Of course, a discussion can be had if you do or do not want your dog to partake in my evening dog park visits or trail walks!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly Lab mix. I live one block away from a Greenway which makes dog walks an easy thing to be able to do.

Pets

A typical day

We would start off each day with a fresh bowl of water from the night before, breakfast if necessary, and a spin around the neighborhood prior to my daily 9 AM meetings! Lunch break = walk break. Multiple times playing frisbee or fetch in the backyard too.
