Trusted Care for Your Furry Friend

With a lifetime of dog ownership and a passion for active enrichment, I offer much more than just a walk. I specialize in engaging your pet’s mind and body, whether it’s teaching puppies the ropes, helping dogs gain confidence in the water, or even practicing soccer drills in the yard. From high-energy play to the gentle, attentive care required for seniors, I use my years of experience to ensure your dog stays happy, active, and loved.

Our dogs—including our geriatric rescue GSP—were happy and well cared for. Colin met with us beforehand, provided pictures and communicated throughout our time away. We were able to relax, knowing our dogs were safe and sound.

Colin was absolutely amazing with Ollie! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He kept me updated with plenty of pictures, took Ollie on lots of walks, played fetch with him, and even gave him baths. It was clear Ollie was happy, well cared for, and getting lots of attention the entire time. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. I’d give Colin five stars without hesitation and would definitely book with him again!

Colin was a great dogsitter! Our dog stayed with him for a week and seemed super comfortable with him upon pickup. Colin sent great updates, took him on plenty of walks and the beach. We’ll definitely reach out to him in the future.

Colin took excellent care of our two dogs, Stevie Nicks and Slash! They got along great with his adorable dog. He took them to the park daily, sent lots of photos, and they were so tired when they got home. We will absolutely be booking with him again and highly recommend!

Colin was an awesome sitter for my dog! Between availability, communication and care for my pup- I would highly recommend him to everyone and will definitely be setting up more visits for my boy!

Colin is an experienced dog owner and dog lover through and through! He has been taking care of dogs for his whole life and has trained many puppys. He is caring and responsible, and there is no one I trust more with my dog. He is experienced with small dogs (chihuahuas/dachshunds/terriers) and big dogs (labs/australian shepards/poodle mixes) and everything in between. Would highly recommend!

I work part time from home. My 4yo mini-Aussie is my only employee. We walk in the morning, mid-morning and afternoon but I’m available pretty much anytime as my daughter drives herself now.
