Fido friendly!
Pet care experience
Pet (dog & cat) owner for decades, until my 18 year old pup passed right before pandemic. Happy to help look after others' pets now.
Reviews
Colleen has been one of my nearest and dearest friends for over ten years. She treats her friends, family, and animals with the utmost care and attention, and I know she will be equally nurturing to the humans and animals she cares for on Rover! She is a lovely, positive ball of energy, and any pup would be lucky to get a walk from her!
About Colleen F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I've had dogs--as big as a St. Bernard, to as little as a Jack Russell--since I was six years old. I've also been a dog sitter for friends and family for years, helping care for dogs (and cats) with a range of health issues. From perfectly healthy, active pups; to senior dogs who need more specialized care and attention--I'm comfortable taking care of their needs. Generally, I have a good amount of extra treats and toys to keep furry visitors occupied when they stay with me. And midday walks, too, of course! As for being a former jack russell owner myself, my dog Charley and I did everything together: hiking, running, lots of ball play (he loved fetch!), and even studying for the bar exam together. Although I'm not ready to replace my best friend yet, I'm happy to provide the same loving and caring environment to help watch other's dogs.

Information Colleen F. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any pets in my home, so your furry friend will get my individualized attention. Hopefully they like head scratches and walks in the sunshine!
A typical day
There is plenty of room for fetch in my apartment, in addition to the courtyard outside. Plus a good long walk to give our legs a mid-day stretch!

Availability
I work from home three days a week with a flexible meeting schedule and a lovely outdoor pet-friendly courtyard. During my WFH days, I tend to stay in other than my morning workout routine (about 90 minutes). Otherwise, I'm happy to add some puppy walks to my WFH day.
