Pet care is something I intentionally structure my day around, not something I fit in when I have time. Since I work remotely, I’m home and available throughout the day, which allows for consistent walks, playtime, and attention instead of long gaps alone. I live in a large home with a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe, easy access to the outdoors for breaks and fresh air. I still make sure they get proper walks and activity based on their energy level—it’s not just yard time. I adjust my schedule to match each pet’s routine—whether that’s higher activity and stimulation or a calmer, more predictable pace—and focus on keeping their day consistent and low-stress.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, structured, and low-stress environment. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, and downtime—so the transition feels as natural as possible. Dogs have access to a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor breaks, along with regular walks and playtime based on their energy level. I’m home throughout the day, so they receive consistent supervision and attention rather than being left alone for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, medications if needed—and make sure the pet stays comfortable in their familiar space. I’m respectful of the home, keep things clean, and provide regular updates so owners know how their pet is doing. In both settings, I focus on being attentive, reliable, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs.

Reliable, Active Pet Care with Flex

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for a wide range of pets growing up, including dogs, cats, fish, and small animals like guinea pigs. I have hands-on experience with dogs at every stage of life—from raising my own dog from 8 weeks old to caring for senior dogs with more specialized needs. I live an active lifestyle and enjoy working with high-energy dogs, making sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and attention they need throughout the day. Because I work remotely, I have the flexibility to stay present, maintain routines, and give pets consistent care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. I also prioritize clear communication and provide regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you’re away.

Collin might have a serious face, but when it comes to dogs, he’s a secret softie. He always goes above and beyond to include his dog Raya in his plans so she doesn’t miss out (last summer he drove 14 hours to Colorado instead of flying just so Raya could come with him on a 2 week trip). In his free time, he shows how good of a dog dad he is by bringing his pup with him to soccer, visits to Zilker, and dog friendly restaurants. His dog Raya is a 100% sweetie pie who loves to play but also respects dogs who need more space. His home is spacious and has an attached back yard that any dog would love. He’s an experienced dog owner who will make sure your pup is safe and having a great vacation while you enjoy your own.

I highly recommend Collin as a pet sitter. I’ve seen firsthand how dedicated and patient he is with animals, especially when he raised and trained his own puppy. He’s also been great with my dogs, including my Aussie, who is a very energetic and can be a lot to handle. He stays calm, attentive, and makes sure dogs have everything they need to be happy. He is reliable and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I would trust him with my pets and i’m sure he’ll treat yours with the same level of care and attention!
