Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring, reliable, and dog-loving!
I've had dogs my entire life, and I also have experience working with them too through PetPals in Woburn where I worked for about 3 years. It was through PetPals that I was able to make many friends with owners, which has led to me having a tremendous amount of dog-walking, sitting, and caring gigs giving me much experience. I have experience with pretty much every kind of dog, meaning breed, but also behavior and personality wise too. I even once dog-sat a labradoodle who is extremely unfriendly with humans, and I was able to win him over as a best pal! I've dog sat and walked as many as 3 dogs at once, but I am always open to 3+ dog households as well.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Colin exceeded our expectations in pet sitting our Tibetan terrier, Buzzy. He was extremely communicative to us as we travelled abroad over Christmas, was so kind to Buzzy (a newly adopted dog) and took exceptional care of him whilst simultaneously respecting our home. I cannot recommend Colin highly enough. 100/100!!!
Colin was wonderful with my dog. He met her before, asked great questions and great communication throughout the visit. Will definitely be in touch again.
Colin was great all around. Friendly meeting the family, a great communicator, and the dogs loved him. We highly recommend him!
Colin was wonderful walking our senior dog. He was very responsive to messages. He asked lots of questions to make sure he was giving our dog the care he needed. We would definitely hire him again.
Colin was an absolute gem! We met with him briefly before he did an overnight and our pup warmed right up to him! He kept us updated and took such great care of our girl, it made our trip so much better knowing we didn’t have to worry one bit! You can tell he’s just a genuine dog lover through and through- we will definitely be having him care for our pup again!
Colin was awesome with my dog! He was super caring, responsible, and made sure my pup was happy the whole time. He sent me updates and photos, which really helped me feel at ease while I was away. My dog clearly loved spending time with him. Definitely booking with Colin again!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently a commuting student at UMass Boston, majoring in accounting. I am only in class 2 hours each day, with no class on weekends, leaving me plenty of time for dog-care.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
My home has a massive, fenced in backyard with a maltese/yorkshire terrier mix to play with (which is totally optional). In terms of your homes and neighborhoods, I am a "go with the flow".
Pets
A typical day
Fun activities that I like to do with the dogs will always depend on the dog. A lot of dogs are energetic and playful, so plenty of ball-throwing, wrestling, and walking/running around will be taking place. A lot of dogs are also very chill, so if that is what they are, that is what we'll be!
