Pet care experience

Uncle Colin | Calm Care You Trust

Dogs have always been part of my story! I grew up with a giant English Sheep Dog named Winston and two lovable Schnoodles, Mugsy and Oliver. These days, I’m basically the “go-to sitter” for all my friends’ pets, and I love every minute of it. Honestly, I’d do it for free, but I’ve realized people take pet care more seriously when they put some skin in the game. And hey, there’s no better investment than a sitter your pets can’t wait to hang out with!

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 was great with Dax. He walked her a ton and was super great with my dog. Would book again 👍

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious one-bedroom apartment in the beautiful Wilshire/Montana area of Santa Monica. My building is quiet and pet-friendly, providing a calm, comfortable environment for your pet. If needed, I’m happy to crate your pet to match their routine and keep them feeling secure.

A typical day

Spending time with dogs is one of my favorite things. I love getting them moving and keeping their minds engaged, whether that’s through games, sniff-filled walks around my neighborhood, or exploring the big park nearby. I’ll make sure your pup feels cared for, entertained, and right at home with me.

I’d love to know anything that helps me care for your pet the way you would—things like their energy level, favorite activities, any quirks or triggers, and of course, any medical needs or special routines. The more I know, the more I can make sure your pup feels comfortable, safe, and happy while we’re hanging out.
