Pet care experience
I am someone who has always had AT LEAST a dog in the household since I was born. I grew up in a rural area in a family of pet lovers. We’ve had chinchillas, lizards, parakeets, turtles, frogs, horses, Guinea pigs and cats. But most important to my life has been dogs. My family is a dog loving family. We’ve had small dogs like chihuahuas and poms, and big dogs like golden retrievers. I’ve had shelter dogs and purebred dogs alike and have cared for pets across a spectrum of attitudes, sizes, ages and breeds. Currently I live in Columbus and care for my three year old Golden retriever Alice, she’s my best friend. My experience with pets has made me the go-to for friends and family when it came to pet sitting and dog walking. I’m the first they call when someone is going out of town or is in a bind where they need a trustworthy person to care for their dog, cat, goldfish, horse… whatever it might be. Beyond basic dog walking and feeding, I’m well versed in pet healthcare, bathing and pet training. I’ve raised puppies and cared for elder dogs in their twilight years. If it’s dog related, I’ve seen it.
Reviews
Very helpful.Sent pictures and I knew my dog was being will taken care of!
Collin was wonderful with our 3 pups! He was flexible and allowed us to book a drop in last minute. Our pups give him 5 stars!
I contacted Collin last minute and he was able to handle everything very smoothly! Highly recommended (:
I've known Collin for many years and he has always been the most caring person with any pet. I know that he has owned dogs and cats his whole life and has been caring for his dog, a Golden Retriever named Alice, for the last three years. He is very well-versed in pet care and knows how to handle any problem that may arise with ease. I couldn't recommend him more to care for your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by always being mindful of my surroundings whether that be other pets, people or the location we are in. Attentiveness is key to making sure the pet is safe and cared for. As someone who has always had dogs and cats I know that pets need plenty of attention as well as love and treats. I like to make pets feel comfortable and secure, no loud noises or music, no shouting and no surprises.
Information Collin C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog has any tendencies/behaviors beforehand. For example, if your dog likes to get into trash on the sidewalk and is curious about things they shouldn’t be I would need to know that so I can be more cautious. Also any medications, allergies, injuries or medical info would be essential to know. Beyond that I also like to know the dogs age and personality type.
A typical day
I like to take dogs to the parks and on safe sidewalks that are appropriate for the walker and the dog. I love treating dogs to a trip to the park so they can sniff around and explore. I’m also down to play fetch or run if the dog wants to. I bring a lot of energy and hope to get the dog excited and ready for a fun day.
