Pet care experience
I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life. Four years ago, my two dogs passed away due to old age and this is the longest that I have ever been without a dog or cat in my life. I’m not ready to get a new pet of my own yet. But I am looking forward to opportunities to care for your dog(s) or cat(s) while you are away and love them like they were my own. I have a fenced in yard and live in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of walking trails. I have three children, ages 9, 11, and 13 that grew up with dogs and learned how to be loving and respectful to animals. I’m a high school teacher so I’m able to be home during the summer and school holidays.
Reviews
A big Thank You! to Colleen and her family for hosting Eddie and making him comfortable during his stay. Eddie and I are glad to have met you!
Colleen took great care of Paco, was very flexible and responsive. We will look for her again, no doubt.
Colleen took such great care of our pup! We loved the daily check ins and really felt at ease while we were away. We will definitely book her again!
Colleen was so good with Alice. She sent updates and was super responsive. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
On school days, my husband is typically working from home so there is usually someone home without long periods of being left home alone. Pets are cared for as part of the family and receive lots of love and attention.
Home
Information Colleen C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Bring your pets favorite items like their bed, toys, food, bones and treats.
A typical day
Your pet will get lots of exercise (appropriate amounts based on their age/ability) and will play fetch or whatever toys they are into. They can also lounge on the sofa facing our big front window to look out for anything that moves, dogs, people, squirrels, deer! We live near Swift Creek Reservoir so I like to go for walks around the lake.

Availability
My routine includes a morning, afternoon and an evening walk after dinner. The fenced backyard provides opportunities for exercise outside of walks. I follow your pets normal feeding schedule and will only provide the food and treats that you provide to avoid any allergy or food intolerance concerns.
