Your Dog's Home Away From Home

I love all animals. I lost my dog Lucky in the summer of 2024. He was 17 and my cat Luna who was 11 this past fall of 2025. I miss them both so. We rescued all our pets. They are such a big part of me and my son’s life. Your pet would have free roam of the house -furniture and all. I have a big fenced in back yard, a pool for the doggies and a park for walks close by. Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs all my life! I always got in trouble for bringing home strays. I love all animals! About my yard I have a large fenced in backyard. A lot of shade- a lot of space to run and play. I have a doggy pool for dogs in the summer as well. I am currently working from home full time and will go back in the office for a few days a week starting January 2025. However, I am home now and after January I will be home on the weekends and most weekdays so I am available for your pets to have a vacation and fun while you are on vacation! If it shows I am not available just ask me! I have a big fenced yard. I play ball with them if they like to do that, I can walk your pet at the park and just have fun with them.

Colleen was wonderful and took care of my fur babies as if they were her children! We were away for a week and she kept us updated and sent some pics of our furry kids. I have young energetic 1year old and a 13 year old healthy, but sleepy chihuahua and Colleen was loved by them both!

We were very happy with Colleen watching our dog (Mickey) while we went down to the shore for the day. Colleen sent us photos of Mickey several times to let us know he was happy. We were at ease knowing our pet was safe! We look forward to using Colleen again in the future.

If you’re looking for a loving, caring and experienced person to ltake care of your precious dogs you have come to the right place if you are considering Coleen . I happen to be one of those dog owners who is very particular about who cares for my 7 1/2 pound Maltipoo when I travel and Luna (my dog) and I immediately felt comfortable with Coleen the first time I met her. My experience tells me that dogs immediately identify Coleen as a deeply caring person with whom they can feel safe and well cared for in the absence of others that they are more familiar with. Luna stayed with Coleen recently for five days and she did a wonderful job of sending daily photos to let me know of her activities and other dogs at her home that she had befriended during her visit. I wasn’t quite sure if she would even want to return home with me after having such a fun time.. Thank you so much, Coleen for being you!
