A doggone pawfully good sitter!
Pet care experience
I am able to watch any size dog with any temperament and have dog sitted many times before! I have a German Shepherd and can handle pullers on the leash! Able to walk, play with, bathe, brush and clip your pups nails or any other requirements you may have while dog sitting. I can bring them in my car to go to parks or daycares and will do whatever I can to keep them in their normal routine. Why I love dog sitting. I've loved dogs my whole life, they truly are a persons best friend. They manage to make you smile in the worst and best of times and they love you more than you can imagine! I've owned many dogs throughout my life and have been surrounded by them since I was a toddler. I have a medical background and have been through obedience training classes. My experience administering medication I am comfortable in giving any medication as I have given every type from oral to intramuscular injections before. I know the tricks of administering the medication and have been taught by a veterinarian the correct way to do so.
Reviews
Colin was very accommodating and easy to work with. I felt very safe leaving our beagle in his care.
Colin is fantastic! After finding out that I needed to go out of town on short notice, I contacted Colin and he quickly responded to my message saying he could care for my large breed dog. I greatly appreciated how flexible he was in scheduling a time to come pick up the key, meet my pup, and learn her daily routine. During the stay, he was great about staying in contact with me, sending pictures of my dog and updates so I didn't worry about her for one second! My dog tends to get nervous when I leave her, but it was much easier knowing she could stay at my house and follow her daily routine. I found it much easier to leave her in Colin's care instead of dropping her off at a kennel where she is not used to the environment and would certainly not know any of the other dogs. It was a relief when I came home to find a relaxed and happy dog! I don't think I could have left my dog in better hands and look forward to scheduling times for Colin to care for her in the future. I couldn't have been more satisfied with Colin's services and highly recommend him for any kind of pet care!

Information Colin S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dogs normal routine to keep the dog in its normal pattern, about any medications he might take, and what your pup enjoys doing as that can be just as unique as anything else! I usually like to meet the dog before the time where I will be sitting, while the owner is home, to get to know the personality and let the dog get used to me in his or her territory.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as you would like. I have a flexible schedule and I know that dogs definitely need a good amount of attention every day. Extra house-sitting services I am more than able to do additional tasks, please don't hesitate to ask!
