Compassionate and Caring

My long life has been blessed and enhanced by the company of many, many animal companions including dogs, cats, birds, pigs, chickens, geese, horses, deer, and even a skunk! I'm a retired nurse and can promise your dog will receive care and love while sharing my home. Besides owning the above animals I personally have been a sitter with Rover for three years, both in Virginia and in Colorado. I have been blessed to have many repeat clients and loved getting to know their dogs on an extended basis. Walks can be provided per request to supplement my large fenced backyard. I live next door to a school and park so walks are easy and convenient. I currently have a wonderful border collie named Cargo. I am retired so your pet(s) will be my highest concern without other scheduling conflicts. I am available 7 days a week including holidays and weekends. I have a fenced backyard and live next to a park so walking your dog there is an option also. I can crate your dog or they can sleep with me also!

Colleen is so good with Vania. She just loves dogs and it’s so nice to not to have to worry about my dog when I am out of town.

Colleen is so great… and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her. She is a true dog lover and my pup took to her immediately!! Definitely will use her again.❤️

I have a border collie so your dog must be compatible with mine. I do like to do a "meet and greet" before committing to board your dog.
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.
