Experienced w/ large & active dogs!
Pet care experience
Have fostered 4 different dogs over the past few years as a way to help the local shelters as well as have fun with some four legged friends! These experiences make for a great dog caretaker as I have gotten used to different behaviors over the years and am used to dogs that are not in their typical environment. Several of our dogs were over 100 pounds and active, making me a great choice if you have a large or strong dog. For anyone looking to board their dog I have two dog loving roommates as well to constantly give your dog close attention, a perfect situation if your dog has lots of energy or you would like your dog to be exercised. I live in PB not far from the San Diego Airport, ideal for people who travel during the week and would like to drop their dog off on the way. I am also a professional photographer and can provide a high level photo shoot as part of my services for a very reasonable fee.
Reviews
Colin was very kind and professional. Our dogs both seemed to like him almost immediately. His roommates are also dog people and helped him out which is awesome! They took very good care of our puppies for the six days that they were there. His home was definitely prepared for our high energy dogs. They both seemed to enjoy the stay and we would definitely choose Colin again for our dog care needs. Would give six stars if we could.
Colin did a wonderful job with our dog! This was the first time I had someone watch Scout in their home (we always boarded her at a kennel with fencing on the top since she is a jumper). Aside from being a fence jumper, she is also an escape artist who loves being outside to play ball and won't come back in, so I was nervous about leaving her with someone. My hesitations disappeared once I met Colin and saw how his home was set up. His home has two sets of doors, so even if she escaped from the upstairs apartment, she was still blocked down below. More importantly, you could tell Colin loves dogs and was comfortable with her. I told him all of her bad habits (including her overzealous ball playing and drooling on top of fence jumping and escaping) and it didn't deter him. She can be hesitant and may bark at males, but she was totally fine with him and a roommate that came in while we visited beforehand. I could immediately tell Scout liked Colin and would be comfortable with him. She came home happy and healthy! Thank you Colin!
Colin did a wonderful job with my Madison. He provided meaningful updates and paid close attention to her behavior and habits. I could not be happier !
Very easy to work with, took our dog on short notice, seemed to love having dogs around and our dog seemed to like being around him, would definitely recommend.

If you could provide details about your dog such as whether they are typically crated when you are not home, where do they normally sleep and what their favorite activities are that would be very helpful.
A typical day
Very big into running so if that is an activity that you normally enjoy with your dog I have no problem continuing that activity with them!
