Pet care experience
Uncle Colin | Calm Care You Trust
Dogs have always been part of my life, and over the past couple of years I’ve cared for dozens of dogs through Rover, from young, energetic pups to seniors with medication schedules, special diets, anxiety, and specific routines. I’ve completed well over 100 bookings and built a solid group of repeat clients, which means a lot to me. Every dog is different, and I’ve learned that good care really comes down to paying attention to the little things: appetite, energy, behavior, comfort, and routine. My goal is always for your dog to feel safe, understood, and at home with me. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, and I stay calm and communicative when something unexpected comes up. Caring for your dog is never a chore for me. I genuinely enjoy it.

Ratings and reviews
Fantastic as always!!
Colin took such great care of my dog, Leo and sent me daily pics and updates. It was clear that Leo got long walks, cuddles and lots of play time! I will definitely be leaving Leo with Colin again!
Colin was incredible with Kaia once again. I have the utmost confidence that Kaia is going to be well taken care of and have fun/be loved when she's with Colin. Couldn't recommend more.
Colin was great with my little goldendoodle Kaia. He was super communicative with sending photos and she had a blast. Came back very happy. Don't want to recommend him too highly so that he gets booked up, but feel very confident with him watching Kaia again.
Colin is awesome with Bailey, trust him completely.
Great as always, thanks for taking care of Rory!

Schedule
I’m an artist! (the clean kind). I work part-time on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1:30–4:30pm and Fridays from 10am–12pm, which leaves me home most of the week and able to give dogs plenty of attention.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment in the Wilshire/Montana area of Santa Monica. My building is quiet and pet-friendly, and I keep things calm and low-key at home. I usually board one dog at a time, which helps keep the environment peaceful and allows for more individual attention.
A typical day
I try to keep your dog’s routine as close to normal as possible, with regular walks around the neighborhood, play and enrichment at home, and plenty of downtime. Some dogs want to be active all day; others are happiest sleeping next to me while I work. I adjust to the dog in front of me rather than forcing every dog into the same routine. I send daily photo updates so you can see how they’re settling in and know they’re doing well.

- The more I know about your dog’s normal routine, the better I can keep things familiar while they’re with me. I’d love to know about feeding, walks, sleep habits, energy level, favorite activities, medications, sensitivities, triggers, and any little quirks that help them feel comfortable. It’s also helpful to know what’s normal for your dog in terms of appetite, bathroom habits, and behavior.
