I highly recommend Colin, he is absolutely brilliant. I needed a dog walker at short notice and Colin couldn’t have been more helpful, agreeing to solo walks for my dog Charlie who is quite nervous. He turned up on time every day and Charlie absolutely loved Colin from the first walk, getting so excited every time he arrived! Even better, Charlie came back happy and tired. And Colin shared photos of every walk - it was so great to see Charlie out having fun. Thanks so much Colin, you’ve obviously got a natural affinity with our dogs.

Just moved to Colin canines recently due to my previous walker failing to collect my dog. I was ofcourse hesitant to who I’d trust with my boy. Colin came out to my house to meet my dog and straight away my dog loved him. Dogs know best. Colin assured me he will look after my boy and work around my work schedule which isn’t an easy ask. Colin is extremely friendly, professional and you can tell he loves what he does. Communication is fantastic with Colin and I have all my trust in him. I personally love when pictures are posted of the walks so I can see him having a great time and Colin does this! Can’t wait to see many more adventures🩵

Colin is very professional and took our dog Isla out for a walk at very short notice. We would definitely recommend Colin and will be using him in the future.
