Not just Cats and Dogs!

Pet care experience

My whole life I have been around animals. I was in 4-H at the age of 5 showing chickens, goats, and horses. I have also raised and shown pigs, and lambs. Not only that, but there hasn’t been a time in my life where I haven’t been around either cats, dogs, or both. I am more than capable of caring for your animals, whatever shape or size. I understand that it’s a difficult thing to trust someone else with your animals, but I guarantee that they won’t need for a single thing when they’re in my care. I love animals with all of my heart and all I want is the absolute best for them. So whether it be a couple dogs and cats, or a couple cats, dogs, and horses, I am your guy.

Colton did a great job with our dogs. He really knows how to connect with the animals and make them feel comfortable. Our dogs have had some difficulty assimilating to other people because they didn't see hardly anyone but us during the pandemic. Colton came over a couple times before we left to play with them and build a relationship. They had a great time with him while we were away. He took them on walks and played ball. He sent pictures so we knew they were happy. I highly recommend Colton.

Colton has taken care of our two dogs and cat a few times. The dogs are excited when he comes over and he seems to truly enjoy playing with them. They are always well cared for in our absence and we come home to happy animals and a clean house. I highly recommend using Colton to take care of your dogs!!!

Safety, trust & environment

As I don't have the ability to bring pets to my house, my ability to care for pets is based on the situation at hand. That being said, having grown up on a farm there isn't much I haven't seen when it comes to animals. So there won't be many situations that might arise in which I would feel like things are out of my hands.

Information Colton W. would like to know about your pet

What kind of tendencies your pets have. Like whether they're timid, aggressive, playful, or whatever may be. Any allergies they may have, or any odd behaviors they may have that might throw someone off initially.

A typical day

I personally hate being cooped up all day, so I definitely don't want your dogs to feel that way. I love playing fetch, going on smell walks (walks where you let the dog just sniff to their hearts desire), going on short hikes, and going to dog parks (if approved).

When taking care of someone's pets they take the priority for the time being. I don't work very long shifts, at most they are 6-7 hours, so I am available more throughout the day to check in on them. I also have a very flexible job in terms of having someone cover for me a short while if I need to go and check on them in the middle of my shift.
