Pet care experience

Your Pet is Our Passion

What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.

Colin was very communicative and will reply. He and the family treated my pet dog Alex as part of his own. Highly recommended and will keep Colin as a future caretaker for Alex.

Colin was so helpful, and was able to help out last minute! Scout was very happy and would absolutely love to send him back here when I need a good place for him for the day.

Schedule

I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Colin can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Before care begins, I like to gather key details to provide the best experience possible: • Feeding schedule and dietary restrictions • Energy level and exercise needs • Behavior around other animals or people • Any medical needs or medications • Triggers, fears, or anxieties • House rules (furniture, crate use, etc.) The more I know upfront, the better I can create a safe, consistent, and positive experience for your pet.
