Dogs are my favorite people!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs my whole life. As a teen I worked in a kennel and ran a kids obedience class. In my 20s and 30s, I fostered for a bully breed rescue. I've had everything from nine week old puppies to 13 year old dog. So the size of the age of the dog has never really made much of a difference. I'm pretty familiar with most tools for walking and training and if I'm not, I'm confident telling you so ,along with my ability it learn proper technique. I believe patience is key with any animal. I've had deaf dogs, dogs that need to be carried up and downstairs, the crazy dog that runs around and eat your socks. I believe staying calm and patient is the key to dog getting comfortable with you.
Reviews
Colleen is downright amazing!!! 10,000% recommend her, her family and her house as the perfect place for your dog to stay when u are away! It’s like Miss Colleen’s Super Fun Happy Time Day Camp for dogs! You can really tell they treat your dog like a member of their family, which is priceless especially when u have an anxious and/or rescue dog w/separation anxiety. Hands down recommend unquestioningly! :)
Coleen and family were great. Our dogs were well cared for during their stay… and the daily pictures were much appreciated !
Coleen and her family took care of my buddy Winston for 5 days while to took a trip with my daughter. They were amazing! We honestly felt like Winston was being cared for just as if he was a part of their family the entire time. We got daily updates and photos so we really had nothing to worry about the entire time. Anytime I book, it'll be with Coleen. The best part is that I kniw our dog will nit only be safe and sound but, he'll certainly enjoy the time. There really isn't a way to thank Coleen and her family enough.
Coleen was amazing! This is our first time using Rover and we were alittle worried with leaving our high energy pup cooper in another persons home but Coleen was so welcoming and definitely knows her stuff when it comes to dogs. From the meet and greet to drop off and picking him up it couldn’t have gone better. She sent updates and lots of photos throughout coopers 2 night stay. I highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her if needed again! She will be our first go to if she’s available ❤️

In my house, we put a baby gates an extra dog crate . There's always water bowls available. I do have a large fenced in area and plenty of toys available. Out on walks everybody stays on a leash. Give them plenty of space and time to sniff around, but making sure we get some exercise. Always good to carry water for the dogs and snacks. Some dogs need more space away from everybody else when they're walking and that's OK we'll find a different walking route change things up, I feel like you know your pet better than anyone else. You'll tell me what they need and how to love them best. I believe they're all individuals and have individual needs whether be in your house ,mine or walking down the street.

Information Coleen D. would like to know about your pet
What I find important to know is if they have any food allergies, medical issues and social limitations. Such as not great with kids or nervous with men.
A typical day
I have a large variety of toys that are washed regularly. Walks happen once of twice a day depending on the dog and weather. I take them out about every two hours . That being said if they need me to go out we go out. I set up the dog pool when needed. We play with toys in the fenced in area. Down time can be on the sofa, dog bed, or a crate. I feed twice a day unless told otherwise. There is always lots of love and attention.

Availability
I have a super flexible schedule. I'm a stay at home mom of a teenager. I scheduled personal appointments pretty well in advance giving everyone time to make sure things are covered. I currently watch a couple dogs for friends and I've had no problem dropping in on short notice or having their dogs dropped off to me with short notice. My husband and child are really dog savvy so having one randomly need to crash for the night or come over for a few hours, never really phase them. Work is one of those things where in my house everyone just understands you gotta go.
