At my home, while I have a fenced yard, I do not have a doggie door so I am always aware when animals go outside and able to keep an eye out. I also have a dog park within walking distance to get pups out and exercised. At your home, please let me know of any specific things to be mindful of or watch for and I’m happy to do so!

Pet care experience

Available for emergency or last minute sitting/boarding requests! I love all animals and have a particular soft spot for older animals or animals with special needs due to a traumatic background. My elder dog was sweet but reactive so I’ve learned to have patience and understanding with all types of behaviors to allow animals to gain trust and know what love is.

Colette was excellent. She took great care of my dog and my house. I would definitely use her again!

Colette was fantastic! She sent pictures & cleaned up after our dog! Our home was just as tidy as we left it. I’m so happy we found her!

Colette was awesome! She was always available and worked with our schedules. She sent daily updates and photos of our 2 cats. We had never boarded them before and this was a great experience. We will definitely use Colette again to board our cats.

If I could gate keep Colette and keep her for myself if I could! She’s so wonderful, and did such an amazing job! Out of all of the people we asked to come out to the house to meet, she was BY FAR the most normal breath of fresh air. We have a small dog that is very quirky, and two cats. I pretty much left a whole page on instructions just for the dog. Colette was very understanding, very dependable, and treated our babies like they were her own. She brought in a massive package that was delivered, left our house cleaner than we did, kept in touch with us the whole time, and even picked up poop before she left (which she totally did not have to!) I would totally recommend Colette to anyone!
