Safety, trust & environment

I will provide your pet with the same care and consideration that you do. I'll make sure they not only have their food, water, and bathroom breaks, but plenty of playtime, walks, and love on the schedule you wish them to have. Keeping their routine as close to normal is my goal while your pets are in my care.

Information Colleen B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements. While I have experience with special needs cats, my experience with special needs dogs is limited. I'm happy to make accomodations to care for your extra-special fur baby including giving medications as needed.

A typical day

We'll go for walks, play fetch, and explore all the sights and sounds of the neighboorhood. If there's a nearby park, that's always a great adventure for any dog! Of course, plenty of rest breaks, water, food, belly rubs, and treats are a must!

Pet care experience

I'm located in Sycamore, IL and am familiar with the surrounding area. I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages and sizes for most of my life, from puppies to senior sweethearts. Whether it’s playtime, long walks, or just plenty of cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I understand that each dog has their own personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel right at home with me. Your dog will be treated like family—with patience, kindness, and lots of belly rubs. On each visit I can spend 30 minutes or a couple of hours, even overnight - whatever your fur baby needs.

Colleen stopped by and spent a lot of time with the pups. She sent photos and kept them happy during the extended weekend. Thank you for helping us out!
