As a dog owner I understand the concern that can arise from entrusting my beloved canine to an unfamiliar person. Will he be kind, attentive, and conscientious with my pet? Will he show my dog the affection she craves and keep her safe from harm and discomfort? In any unforeseen circumstances, will he have the intelligence and initiative to go the extra mile to see that all her needs are met? Having known Colin since he was a little guy I have to say that I've never seen a more ardent dog lover. He is drawn to them like a magnet, and they sense and respond to his warmth. He is compassionate, energetic, and extremely reliable, and through the years it has always been with great confidence that I leave my sweet Corgi in his hands. I know that she is getting the excellent care she deserves, and that Colin enjoys it as much as she does.

Colin loves dogs and dogs love him. After a week at a friend's farm, all 6 dogs followed him around whenever they could - even the dog that didn't seem to like people too much. He's always ready to play fetch or give a belly rub, and every one of those dogs got plenty of attention. My own dog, Louise, is a rescue who doesn't trust men much, but she warmed up to Colin in record time. I'd absolutely trust Colin to look after her.
