Safety, trust & environment

At the moment, I would need to watch your pet at your house. My current apartment has a strict pet policy and I am only allowed my cats. I am open to sleeping over, just staying for the day, or popping in at scheduled times. When I am staying at a client’s home, I have the utmost respect and make sure to keep the line of communication open.

Information Colleen B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs so I can be prepared to care for them in the best way possible. It would be helpful to know about their sleeping and eating patterns and where their preferences are for walks.

A typical day

I’m an avid hiker so I would love to take your dog on a trail or to a park to get some outside time. Once they are tuckered out, I would get them a special treat that meets their dietary needs. They will also get ample belly scratches all day!

Certified Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I started pet sitting as soon as I was old enough to stay home alone for friends, family, and neighbors. Throughout the years, I acquired lots of different clients through word of mouth. I have experience watching a variety of types of pets and at home I have three loving cats. I also have experience giving pets medication. Most importantly, I have a passion for all animals and I can assure your pet would be in the best possible care with me.

Colleen was communicative and showed up for a last minute request. She was great with my pittie and we’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

Colleen is a wonderful, caring, and attentive sitter for our fur babies. We are grateful to have found her in the community. Our babies look forward to seeing her again this Summer!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
