Pet care experience
I have owned 2 German Shepard’s. (One of which is a working line dog, so I know a energetic dog when I see one) I am a strong believer in dogs being exercised regularly and to the best of their abilities. Before coming to law school I have watched/walk 2-3 neighborhood dogs back in Virginia.
Reviews
Colin was a Godsend to us when we needed someone to watch our 3 dogs. We have 2 “very” senior dogs that need close monitoring outside so they don’t fall into our pool. We also have a 2 year old Boykin Spaniel that is full of energy and needs walks and seemingly endless fetch with his favorite ball. Colin went above and beyond to take care of our dogs and keep them safe and happy! We will definitely seek Colin out the next time our fur babies need a sitter and TLC. Thank you Colin!
Colin is very compassionate and tentative with animals He is trustworthy and flexible . He will go the extra mile to make sure your pet it taken care of .

Safety, trust & environment
Before I left for school I had a 2 year old AKC working line GSD. His work drive made him a great learner but also a terror... My family and I quickly learned that consistent exercise, diet, and mental stimulation made him into our perfect dog. I understand that people get dogs and do not know what they got themselves into, I am in no way a dog trainer or claim to be one, but everyone agrees that exercising a dog is key to good relationship. And I would like to help people get their dogs out and moving.
Information Colin M. would like to know about your pet
The energy level, how it behaves around other dogs, if your dog is friendly towards children. Also medical conditions like seizures, anxiety, etc. This will help me know what to expect
A typical day
I can play fetch (or try to teach your dog fetch). If the owner is comfortable I can take the dog to the Fort De Soto dog beach/park. I prefer to be outside with the dog then inside. I've learned that playing inside leads to dogs thinking that playtime is a inside activity which can be annoying to their owners!
Services
Colin can watch in your home
Availability
Besides my school schedule I am fairly open. I prefer to walk/exercise either in the morning or evening. (Mostly because I worry about the dog overheating) but once it cools down I am amenable to doing middle of the day as well.
