Safety, trust & environment

Safety & trust are the biggest concerns when accepting a stranger to watch your animals, but I can assure you there is nothing to worry about when your pet is in my care. As a veteran and animal lover, I intend to make you and your furry friends' experience as professional and safe as possible.

Information Colin O. would like to know about your pet

•What is your dog’s daily schedule like? •What activities are they most used to doing? •How is there personality with other animals and people? How do they behave around small children? •Does your animal take any medications or need extra attention in a certain area? •Can your dog go on walks for an extended period of time? •How does your furry friend do in the car? •What can your animal absolutely not eat or get ahold of? •What do you love most about your four legged friend? Are they a snuggler? Prefer to be left alone? What’s some of your animals silly quirks?

A typical day

Depending on your dogs personality, and how well adapted your animal is to social situations with other animals and people my main goal with pet sitting is to allow your furry friend to feel comfortable and have fun. I will definitely incorporate walks and or hikes to our daily routine while I watch your animal. As well as plenty of time playing and outside. I feel this is the best way to gauge your furry friends personality and attitude. I love to stay busy with your pup and will give them plenty of exercise and loving.

Trustworthy furry friend companion

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is that I've fostered and owned a variety of dogs since I was very young. My experience includes volunteering for local shelters, fostering and pet sitting. I've cared for all types of dogs, from large and small breeds to energetic puppies and cuddly seniors. I can assure you that your dog will be well taken care of! Animals are my passion and joy. I'd love to care for your furry friends!

I have had the pleasure of Colin taking care of my dog, Bailey, and staying in my home while I was away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Colin was incredibly responsible and attentive, making sure Bailey had her medications, was walked, and loved. Bailey is a bit high maintenance and Colin kept her out of trouble! He sent regular updates, which really put my mind at ease. When I returned, Bailey was happy and healthy, and my home was spotless. Colin went above and beyond, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Colin is an absolutely fantastic dog sitter, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly! He has cared for our high-energy dog, Anova, on multiple multi-night occasions, always staying in our home to ensure she feels comfortable and cared for. One of the things we appreciate most about Colin is his attentiveness—he takes the time to understand Anova’s needs and keeps her happy and engaged while we’re away. He even spent the week of Christmas with her, sending us the sweetest photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Beyond his great care for our pup, Colin is incredibly respectful, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. He responds quickly, follows through on every detail, and makes the whole process seamless. Knowing Anova is in such great hands allows us to truly relax when we're away. If you’re looking for a dependable, caring, and professional dog sitter, look no further—Colin is the best!

Colin loves all animals and has been raised with dogs and cats. He is compassionate and trustworthy, Colin is happiest when he can be outdoors playing catch with the dogs or cuddling and loving them.

Colin was great when watching our pup. He interacted with her well and they bonded well during their time together. Colin was also very respectful of our home while he stayed there.
