My origin story begins with family pets. We always had dogs and cats around the house, sometimes even horses! I’ve always loved dogs immensely and seemed to understand them better than most people. In my teens & 20’s I volunteered at the SPCA, walking dogs and helping train puppies. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Currently I spoil my sisters chocolate labs as much as possible with trips to the park in winter and swimming in the river in summer!
My flexible schedule allows me time to do what I love most, hanging out with dogs and cats! I’m available 7 days a week, and can visit day or night. Think of me as the cool uncle that swoops in and spoils your kids with a fun adventure and treats! Dogs are furry little aliens that we really don’t deserve but life sure is better when they’re around. Each one has their own unique personality and idiosyncrasies that make them so special and enjoyable to spend time with. I’m at my best and most happy when I’m in the company of our canine friends.
I’ve found that our furry little friends are much more comfortable and happier in their own environment, therefore I do not board dogs at my home. Most of my clients are pop-in visits once or even twice a day, depending on feeding schedule. Each visit includes food, fresh water, walk/play time and of course bathroom breaks. Visit time is about 30-45min.
I also offer live-in care (stay at your house) for clients with separation anxiety issues.
My level of adventure depends on the dog I’m looking after. High energy? We’ll head to the park and play fetch. Low energy? A quick tour of the neighbourhood then home for nap or cuddles. Our time together will depend upon your dogs level of comfort and activity.
Let me know if your pet has any allergies, strange behaviour (ie: separation anxiety) or phobias. The more I know about your pet the better I will be at making our time together comfortable and fun!

Colin watched our 2.5 year old dog and 10 month old puppy for just over a week. The dogs were very relaxed in the many photos he sent us and the house was spotless when we returned. He sent numerous photos each day and was quick to answer any questions we had. Glad we found him!
Colin provided in-house dogsitting for 3 nights for our 9-year-old border collie mix Fiona while we were out of town. We were SO happy with the service Colin provided - he clearly showed how much he truly cared about Fiona's well-being by sending us many updates throughout the weekend of walks and playtime and more. We felt 100% confident that Fiona was taken the best care of - it really helps to know the person there with your animal loves them!! Thank you again so much to Colin! :)
