Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive and patient animal lover
What to expect for boarding/daycare: I guarantee 4 walks a day of at least 40 minutes to an hour (or longer) depending on the needs and energy levels of your dog. Your dogs will be extremely well taken care of, ensuring they have plenty of time devoted to walking, sniffing around, playing, and other forms of enrichment. I have spent my whole life working with and for animals. I work as a conservation biologist and have experience in animal rehabilitation. I also have a degree in biology and animal studies/behavior. Growing up, I lived on a farm and worked with and trained a variety of farm animals daily for 4H. I also have volunteered at my hometown animal shelter to raise and promote their cats and dogs for many years. Additionally, I spent much of my youth taking care of my families’ dogs and cats, and pet sitting for friends, family, and strangers. I am open to any and all kinds of animals at any age range. I have spent many hours nursing sick animals back to health, so I am well-trained in being patient and attentive to the needs of animals in my care.

Ratings and reviews
Kolin was able to take our dog last minute for daycare. He was very communicative, asked all necessary questions prior to our booking. Our dog warmed up to him very quickly and made himself at home at Kolin’s. Will definitely book again!
Kolin was great with my dog! She has high energy and reactivity difficulties and he was great with listening to her needs and working with them. He provided tons of walks and exercise along with love and cuddles. He sent the perfect amount of updates and pictures so I knew she was in good hands. I would definitely book with him again!
Kolin was able to accommodate me super last minute and was a fantastic sitter! Very responsive and attentive. I’d highly recommend Kolin for both short and long term stays!
We loved Kolin!! He was professional, responsive, and kind. I would ask him to watch my dogs again and highly recommend him.
Kolin has cared for my dog, Sadie, many times (both walks and pet sitting), and I couldn’t ask for someone more reliable. He’s incredibly responsible, and Sadie absolutely adores him. She’s a very energetic dog who needs long, active walks, and Kolin always makes sure she gets the time and exercise she needs. I trust Kolin completely, both with my dog and in my home. I can’t recommend him highly enough, whether your pet is full of energy or more low-key and just needs some extra love and attention. I wish I could include a photo here to show just how much Sadie loves him!

Schedule
I currently work from home so I have a lot of time for high-energy dogs that need multiple visits/long walks daily or elderly pets that needs slower TLC at your home or mine.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet building that would be good for watching skittish pets and have a nice park next to our building for walks and play. I am used to having animals so I keep the apartment very clean and never leave food out anywhere that animals may be able to reach.
A typical day
I am very patient when it comes to walking dogs or taking care of animals. I find a lot of joy in learning with the animal how they like to be played with or how the like to walk. For example, at home one of my dogs likes to walk and run as much as possible on our walks, while my other dog would rather walk as slowly as possible and sniff everything in his path (also good enrichment!).
