Pet care experience

Hi! I have years of hands-on experience taking care of many different animals but especially dogs. My father was a professional guide in which I grew up with seven K9 brothers & sisters. While these were mostly walkers with the occasional blue tick, we also had our fair share of inside dogs ranging from my chihuahua "Biscuit", cocker spaniel "Hoppie", to my American Bulldog "Spike" or golden retriever "Jake". I have assisted with two litters from birth to adulthood & have valuable problem-solving experience with K9's. Currently, I have two 1.5 yr old black mouth curs (Firefly & Griz) that enjoy training, a fenced in backyard & exploring nature.

Colt is wonderful. Peca was at home from the first second she arrived at his place. Well recommended.

Colt was awesome with the pups and took great care of them! He sent pictures the whole time and even provided a report card for the dogs at the end. Thank you Colt!!

Colt is amazing with animals. He has cared for my dogs for the last seven years and they adore him. He is kind and loving, as well as responsible. Even though Colt knows their routine very well he always makes sure to ask if there are any changes to their diet or schedule. You, or rather your pet, would be in extremely great hands if Colt is giving them care.

Colt was amazing! He took my last-minute booking request, and my dog Adora loved him and the fenced in back yard. Dependable and caring. Highly recommend!

Experience handling dogs with special needs and will love to know more how I can better accommodate those needs. I will always be upfront and honest with the items that I am able to accommodate and will speak up if an item may not fall under my expertise.

A typical day

At the end of your dog's visit, they would have enjoyed playing in the large fenced in back yard, explored trails and have been empowered thru training. To make sure the dirt and smells they picked up during their visit do not make the way to your car or house we do offer bath services. Bath includes hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioner, nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, external gland cleaning for a flat rate of $25.
