Dog lover

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover since I was a very small child. I have a special love for dogs and never met a dog I didn't like. I lost my dog Noah, just about a year prior to signing up on Rover. Noah was two months shy of turning 17 years old and he was with me since he was 6 months old. While I'm not ready to get another dog just yet, I miss him and would love to spend time loving and caring for your furbabies. I would love to walk them, to play with them, give them treats (if they are allowed), and make them feel welcome and loved while you're away. If possible, I will take the time to meet with you and find out the specific needs for your dog before booking a stay.

Colleen and Scott have been watching my Molly for at least 3 years now. We don’t leave her with anyone else at this point! She loves going to their house and we get all the updates from Colleen and Scott and she always looks so happy. ❤️

Colleen and Scott took such great care of our dogs! Having never boarded our dogs before we were nervous to leave them, but they clearly felt comfortable in their home from our first meeting, easily jumping on the couch to snuggle. They treated our dogs the same way we treat them, letting them lay and sleep where they normally would at home. They gave us regular updates and sent pictures and videos. Their care put us at ease and we were able to enjoy our time away without a worry that our dogs were safe and happy.

Colleen and Scott are the absolute best!! They are the only sitters we trust to watch our dog Molly when we go out of town. I am one anxious dog mom//traveler and having them watch her puts my mind at ease. The best part is they keep us laughing with tons of pictures of Molly just living her best life at their house. I can tell they love Molly and treat her like their very own fur baby.

My dog had a great stay with Colleen! She sent frequent updates and I could rest easy knowing my dog was well taken care of!

Information Colleen C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what your dog's normal routine includes. Does your dog have any medical issues? Does your dog like long or short walks? Is your dog allowed to have dog treats? Does your dog sleep in the "people bed", the couch, a dog bed or a crate? Does your dog chew on furniture, blankets, or anything else? Is your dog housebroken? How often and at what time does your dog eat?

A typical day

Currently, I work first shift and my husband works third shift. Therefore, dogs are not normally left alone for very long unless we go somewhere together. My husband will nap for 4-5 hours when he gets home from work but the dogs are more than welcome to nap with him on the couch or loveseat. If dogs are crate trained, we may crate them when we are away to avoid them scratching or chewing wood furniture or doors and to avoid them getting hurt. Several dogs I have watched have had access to the entire living area (kitchen, dining room, living room, foyer, etc) but this will be decided between myself and the dog owner. Please note puppies under 1 year will only be accepted if owners provide a crate that I can use when I'm away.
