Y'all are amazing, and we are grateful for everyone who has reached out, inquired, and booked over the last three days!

Restarting after moving , is tough but y'all have made the transition so easy.

Thank you for supporting his small business and being a part of the solution for fostering inclusive employment!

As Autism Month comes to a close, I'm excited to introduce our neurodiverse and military family, where support and understanding are our cornerstones.

Our oldest, Colton, has been running his own pet care and house-sitting business for four years, despite facing challenges like the pandemic, lockdowns, restrictions, and moving to a new base.

Overcoming those obstacles, his business has grown, servicing 132 clients, with four regulars' clients relying on his services weekly for drop-ins and walks.
He has cared for dogs, cats, fish, birds, reptiles, and even farm animals!!

Whether you need drop-in visits, daily walks, or your home looked after, Colton is your guy! Let's restart his business here and continue providing top-notch care to pets and homes alike.

Colton is back and ready to work! Fresh new look!

We have been closed for the last 6 months because of our commitments related to being a military family. We're thrilled to announce that we've relocated to Shaw AFB and Sumter in South Carolina! Our move has been exciting and unexpected, mirroring the nature of military life.

As many of you know, Colton is Autistic, and navigating all of the changes we've experienced has been a challenge. But with the unwavering support of our friends and therapists, Colton is ready to 'begin again' and we're happy to support him.

Now, in our new state and with renewed energy, we're thrilled to reopen, connect with, and meet new clients. From pet sitting, dog walking (exercise, hiking, etc.), house sitting, and more, we can't wait to serve our new community with the same dedication and service.

02/21/2023

We are accepting new bookings/clients!

It's that time of year in the military cycle of life, PCS season.

We've said '𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘯' to two of our daily exercise clients last month and this month, and we are saying goodbye to another regular vacation client soon as well.

We'd love to add you to our roster for daily exercise for your dog or whenever you're heading out of town for your pets at home!

Book with us today!!

I love when our clients gush! It makes me feel like we're making a difference and the work matters!!

We just celebrated 2 birthdays this week with our clients.

We LOVE your pets! We do! We see them all the time. We love on, exercise, groom, and play with them when you're not able to.

It is hard not to love them!!

We love our regulars!! Walking, running, and practicing (like a good boy) for hunting on the weekends with Mom and Dad!

He was ready to go and get those birds and squirrels!!

Let's go 2023!!

01/23/2023

We're finishing up FY22 AND Y'ALL!!!
A 237% increase from last year to this year!!

This is because of you and we are so beyond grateful for our clients. We can't wait to see what 2023 will bring for Colton and Colton Cares!!

11/14/2022

Colton has grown up so much this year! Both in academics, socially, and with his business!

One of his decisions this year was to become a sponsor with funds from his business for his Uncle Derrek's racing team 1558 racing.

We are so proud of Colton and Derrek! Colton's Uncle Derrek went on to win Rookie of the year!

We can't wait to support Derrek and 1558 in 2023!

11/11/2022

Colton and our family wish everyone a Happy Veterans Day!

We, the Loader and Oliver families, are full of Veterans and currently serving military members.

Call out to the residents of Wayne County!! ❤️😊

From Colton:
I love all animals! But there are so many I haven't met yet. I really want to meet and take care of a Maine C**n!!

Mrs. Becky has a Maine C**n but we're pretty sure she's mixed with something!

Did you know that Maine C**n is the largest breeds of cats in the world!?

I also want to take care of Great Danes. They are so nice, and I met some a long time ago but I've never been able to take care of some.

When I have my own house, I am going to own a Maine C**n and Great Danes.

Any one need their Maine C**n or Great Dane cared for? Colton is your guy!

08/18/2022

Whewh what a whirlwind and amazing summer! It will be 4 years of service in January! We are proud and happy to say that at this time we've been able to service 98 clients.

Who will be lucky number 100??

In that time Colton has been able to make his business an LLC, obtain insurance, invest in wider range of services, and hire outside pet-sitters.

Colton will be 14 in 2 weeks, entering highschool, learning to drive, and 'how manage his business full-time' and we couldn't be prouder of his success.

This doesn't come from anything but his strength of character, creativity, hardwork, dedication, and positive attitude.

Which we directly attribute to him!
To how his brain works!

If you're able to find something that brings you joy and makes you happy, there will always be someone who is unhappy about it, maybe even jealous.

Don't let it bring you down!
Enjoy your journey! Enjoy your path!
Choose to be happy and joyous anyway!

Enjoy our wonderful clients!!

07/26/2022

One the most popular extras that we provide is our 'tidy and sanitize.'

When you've been away from home for any length of time. The last thing you want to do is jump right back into house work.

And when you own pets that is a necessary daily occurrence to stay on top of drool, fur balls, and hair!

In addition, no one likes germs! So we wipe down any surface that may have been touched by our team.

These in addition to MANY other extras, are always complimentary!

07/16/2022

Colton's business, like any small business THRIVES, GROWS, and SURVIVES on word of mouth and recommendations.

Y'all are amazing! Seriously!

There aren't enough thank yous to say for me to properly express my gratitude.

From the top of this Mommas neurodiverse brain to the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.

This is what inclusion looks like!

07/09/2022

To our clients,

There are a few clients that are grieving the passing of their pets. We take this responsibility on, too, as we come to care for, love, and hold onto your pets, especially our seniors.

It is never easy to say goodbye to our special companions, our 4-legged friends, and the other part of our families and hearts.

But as our companion's age, it is the unfortunate truth that it is sometimes necessary to say, 'see you later' and let them pass over the rainbow bridge.

Our thoughts are always with you as you grieve their passing.

With Love,
Colton & Colton Cares Family

07/04/2022

We LOVE our seniors! They are some of our best pets. We currently have 16 senior pets enrolled with Colton Cares.

But they require extra love and attention. That's where we come in!

Whether it's daytime visits while you work, scheduling exercise visits (park, walk, or play), or making a custom vacation schedule to accommodate their needs, we're here to help!

There isn't any request too big or too small when it comes to your pets. Just ask!

Working hard!!

07/04/2022

Happy 4th of July, from the Colton Cares family to yours!

06/21/2022

Y'all!! This month has been crazy busy! And today was no exception.

We had our regulars. Walkers, pet park visits, and day time check-ins.

And we had our vacation clients!! We were privileged to be able to provide care for a BIG pet family of 12!

06/12/2022

It has been a crazy busy couple of months! We have so many new clients and pets! So much love in our community! 💙
And we are meeting three new clients next week.

Also, our youngest crew member, Devin, Colton's brother has been a diligent member of Colton Cares since its inception! We appreciate all of his help and dedication.

Devin is branching out within Colton Cares and will be offering homemade dog, cat, bird, and squirrel treats/snacks. Look for updates when they become available!

05/16/2022

We are not competitors, we are inspiration to each other!
Colton is a dreamer! He has big dreams! And we love to encourage his dreams.

He dreams of a resort for dogs, swimming and playgrounds.
We are on the hunt right now for a work van that will have rainbows on it for his animals.

Join us right now, as he dreams of the future and watch him grow.

05/15/2022

Summer means family time! Vacations! Camping! Beach! Or in the mountains!

Don't forget to make sure your four-legged family members are taken care of while you are spending time away together making memories.

May - Limited spaces available for Out of town/Vacation; still booking for other services.
June- Fully booked for all services! (𝘗𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯)
July- Still booking for all services.
August- Still booking for all services.

Why a business? Why an LLC?
Why, at only 11 years old (now almost 14)? Aren't we worried about him losing something because he works at such a young age?
Why don't you just let him be a kid?

The most straightforward answer I can give is that Colton is Autistic.

This world is NOT made for people who are different—born weird, thinking differently, or looking different.
The world changers, or the dreamers.

So we have to make the opportunities and chances happen for him! And we intend to!!

When we saw the statistics for Autistic teens and young adults being underemployed or unemployed upon leaving school, it became our goal to ensure he has security for himself.

Even if this isn't the long-term 'path' for Colton and he chooses to do something else, later on, he will at least have a self-sustaining income and be able to provide for himself while he figures out his dreams!
