Safety, trust & environment

The most critical components of care is trust, respect, and love. I build trust with animals based on respect of their boundaries and show them love when they are receptive to it as well as giving space and respecting boundaries when the animal might not be receptive to it.

I love my dog and animals in genera

Pet care experience

I've trained my Siberian Husky to be a well behaved dog that is good off leash, yields to commands, and is very well behaved unsupervised. Anyone who knows the breed knows this is incredibly hard/rare to do. I've taken care of other breeds including but not limited to Chocolate labs, German retrievers, pitbulls, and chihuahuas. I've also had several cats over my childhood and developed friendships with neighborhood cats. I just like animals.

Colin is an incredibly gentle and kind soul and animals sense that. He is so in tune with his own pets and my cats adore him, even the shyest one. He truly cares about the welfare of animals and will always consider their needs and comfort. I would trust him to care for my pets any day.

My cats are not typically willing to come out when new people are in the house, but they came out and played. The animal whisperer indeed
