Hi, I’m Colin! I’m a DC-based animal lover with rescue volunteer experience offering dog walks. I first started volunteering with Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and Humane Rescue Alliance in 2018, shortly after moving to DC. I was looking for a way to get involved in the community, and spending time with dogs was one of the first things that came to mind. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to help transport dogs to and from adoption events, handle dogs while they meet potential adopters, and take rescue pups out for walks, day outings, and little neighborhood adventures. I really enjoy walking dogs because it gives me a chance to step away from the busyness of the day and get outside for a bit. I’m happy to match the walk to your dog’s personality, whether they like to keep a steady pace, take their time sniffing every tree, get some energy out, or just have a calm potty break and some attention. I know every dog is different, so I’ll pay attention to what makes your dog comfortable and follow your instructions closely. I keep my radius small and my schedule realistic so I can be reliable, deliberate, and fully present with each pet. On walks, I’ll avoid situations that feel crowded or stressful, and make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and comfortable. I’ll treat your dog and your home with warmth and care, and I’m happy to send updates in whatever way is most helpful for you. Excited to meet you and your pet family!
