Highlights
Pet care experience
Let me walk that dog.
My experience: I love all animals and have experience with a variety of pets including dogs, cats, reptiles, and rabbits. There's no dog or cat I don't want to pet and play with! Through a past job I had to interact with a lot of dogs in people's homes and I am good about making them feel calm and earning their trust. I have trained three puppies in my life (Mae, Rosie and Luna). I also do well with cats, even difficult ones. My family adopted a stray cat (Maggie) - She was a bit aggressive and never warmed up to anyone in the house but me. I had a bearded dragon (Lizardie McLizardton) in my twenties. He never seemed to like people much, but he tolerated me and it was fun to make him elaborate large play houses. I understand how small animals have different needs than cats and dogs. I currently have a Bunny (Bernie). I give him a nice comfortable place to live and lots of play time. I've been able to earn his trust over time and he even grooms my head from time to time.

Safety, trust & environment
In your home I can make sure your pet feels comfortable. I am patient and I am conscious of things that may agitate them. I am unable to board a pet at this time.
Ratings and reviews
Colin is wonderful! So dependable and great with Nola — we couldn’t ask for better!
Colin is a true animal lover through and through. His kindness and genuine care for pets shines the moment he’s around them. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, he treats every animal like family. He’s incredibly responsible, always makes sure their needs are met, and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. He doesn’t just "watch" pets—he bonds with them. Whether it’s going on walks, playing fetch, or just sitting and giving belly rubs, he truly enjoys spending quality time with animals. Any pet in his care is in amazing hands, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!
