Pet care experience
Pet care has always been important to who I am, from fostering kittens with my mom, to house-sitting anxious pets who need extra compassion. I believe it is a privilege to coexist with animals, and therefore a responsibility to ensure that they are as happy and healthy as they can be.
Reviews
Colin was wonderful caring for my elderly Shih Tzu, Lexi. She quickly bonded with him and he with her. Colin has a very calming personality which helped I’m sure. Lexi quickly became his “buddy” following him everywhere- not always the case when she meets strangers. I will not hesitate to use Colin again in the future, in fact am already planning my next boarding with him. 5 stars to Colin!
We appreciate Colin so much! Professional and caring.
If there is one thing I learned immediately with Colin, it’s his ability to rapidly connect with animals. His compassionate and respectful nature allow pets to feel comfortable, not to mention the energy he has to keep up with their play styles.

Safety, trust & environment
I take pride in being a clean and responsible person. I like leaving places better than when I found them and can handle any type of mess that pets may unleash.
Information Colin W. would like to know about your pet
Before taking on new customers, I always accept invitations for meet and greets to better understand the pets and their needs. Important information to me includes feeding schedule, sleeping schedule, medications, temperament, favorite toys, behavior on walks, and anything that can help me bond more with the animals. For house sitting, I will also water plants and keep the house clean upon request.
A typical day
As an active person, I enjoy taking dogs on walks or simply playing with them in the yard. I think it’s important to incorporate both times of stimulation and times of relaxation in a pets daily schedule.

Availability
I currently work full-time from my office at home, so taking care of animals throughout the day is never a problem. House sitting is especially easy to accommodate given that I only need to bring my laptop. My typical availability is 6-9am, 11:30-1pm, and after 5pm.
