Able to connect & match dogs energy
I work from home and am able to give your loved Pet the attention they deserve. I enjoy connecting with an animal and invite the opportunity to enjoy each other’s companies. I have strong awareness of a dog’s state and can adjust accordingly to keep them healthy and relaxed.

Desi lou almost didn't want to come home. She had a great vacation too! Colin did a wonderful job caring for her and making sure we got updates daily. Would definitely rebook!
We were in town for a night and needed someone to take our dog into their home so we didnt leave him at the campsite for the evening! Colin was great! Friendly, welcoming and made sure Finn was well taken care of!
Stella was perfectly cared for during her stay! We received lots of photos of her!
Colin was an absolute dream! Extremely personable and accommodating of all of our dog’s needs. He was very committed and engaged to providing great care for Pickles with daily activities. Thanks Colin!!!
Colin did an amazing job with Duke and Daisy! They were so happy and comfortable with him that they were sad to leave. We got daily updates and photos. Colin took excellent care of a cut on one of their paws and even cooked a fresh meal for them daily. I highly recommend him to anyone!
Colin was fantastic with Pearl. He was very attentive and flexible to everything that was needed to support Pearl during her stay. It was clear he treated her like his own and by the looks of how tuckered out she was when she came home, I’d say she had a great time with Colin. I would most certainly book with him again!

Schedule
I Hop out of bed and get the pup around several blocks or if more appropriate some play and belly rubs. Your pup is included in my sanity breaks (~2 hr ish) which are a check in to meet your pups need. After my day maybe we get in the car and off for a wooded or beach walk and then it’s home for evening strokes. Your pup isn’t simply a responsibility it’s my new pal. I look forward to meeting them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Quiet neighborhood but the yard is not fenced. I feed according to their schedule and will wait on them for the washroom but offer every 2 hours unless I am out (may go to 4 Hours). The dog will have a bed that I will invite Them to sleep on and I will judge where everyone is most comfortable (could be in the bedroom) I will take them for a walk, if of walking size and age, of at least 1 walk a day but generally 2 for a duration of 30 minutes at least.
A typical day
Your pup is my companion- for walks, movie watching and rubs. If your pup is wanting to get moving I’m game. Woods? Even better If they want to play wrestle a bit, I’ll be gentle Will throw balls but not being my dog I am apprehensive to have your dog off leash. I don’t know their boundaries If time is provided they might come home with a new trick. I enjoy the bonding and trying to untangle the advanced communication puzzle
