Pet care experience

I’m an animal lover forever!

I’m a current UCF student perusing a degree in veterinary/zoology biology. My whole life, I’ve loved animals and have put them before myself (which means lots of work😅). I’ve been around cats for as long as I can’t remember, and dogs of all shapes and sizes are familiar to me as well! My girlfriend, Bella, and I, both work hard to ensure the pups and/or cats feel comfortable and happy throughout the stay. My neighborhood has 2 dog parks, so if you are worried about your energetic pup not getting his energy out, that will not be a problem at all! We also have a dog washing station if you want us to wash him/her as well! Any special requests or accommodations can be arranged to the best of my ability as well, just ask!

Absolutely amazing! So attentive, great communication, and the additional attention given to my dog, gave me the biggest piece of mind. My dog gets nervous usually with new people, I was worried that she would not eat when I was away, but with Colin, she felt right at home. Will definitely book again. Made my trip so much better knowing my dog winter was well taken care of.

Colin was amazing, I would highly recommend him! He came and visited Ted to make sure it would be a great fit, communicated well, and kept Ted happy the whole stay (Ted can be a nervous dog)! Ted came back happy as can be!

Safety, trust & environment

As an animal lover, I’m always keeping a close eye on my pets to ensure they’re safe. I also research often to make sure the environment is proper and safe for the animal.

Pets

A typical day

I think it’s very important for animals to get all their energy out, as they often have a ton built up! Therefore, I make sure each pet I care for gets the proper amount of exercise and then relaxation!

I like all sorts of animals, and I’m okay with taking care of special needs or elderly pets as well. Just let me know any special circumstances.
