Pet care experience

Professionally Certified!

Hi! Working with animals is a passion of mine. I am a former dog trainer, I foster dogs in my free time. I recently received my Professional Animal Care Provider Certification so you can be sure you're leaving your pal with someone qualified! I have plenty of experience with dogs of all types from all kinds of backgrounds. I also have watched many critters throughout my life and can offer care to just about any animal you have in your home! I want to make sure your animals have the best time while you're away so keeping them active and entertained is important to me!

Colleen always shows up on time and I feel very confident that my dog is in good hands when she is around. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Schedule

I currently work 1 day a week so I have lots of time to spend with your furry friends. I live in a house with my husband and sister so someone is always around to give your pals love and attention. They will never be left unattended for more than a few hours at a time.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your pet's regular routine as best as possible. I have several crates to crate your dog if that is what you prefer. But I also am happy to keep them out in our gated off kitchen living room area. We have a fenced in yard for them to run and play most of the day.

Pets

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the dog park, Ellicott creek being my favorite! Walking around the neighborhood is also a great way to get out and let off some energy. I like to run around the yard with the dogs and play fetch. Whatever your dog's interests are I'm happy to engage!

It is important to know about your dog's routines, preferences, and needs. I aim to give your dog the best experience while you are away so the more information you can give me the better!
