About Colleen C.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on consistency, attentiveness, and following each pet’s routine exactly as provided. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so I can respond appropriately and keep them relaxed and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, leash safety, and home care details, and I take my time getting to know each pet so I can notice what is normal for them and quickly spot any changes. My goal is to build trust through calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.

Pet care experience

I bring a mix of playful energy and reliable care, so pets get both attention and consistency while their owners are away. I naturally tune into each pet’s personality and demeanor—whether they’re excited, shy, anxious, or somewhere in between—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable and understood. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs up to 15 years old, and I’m comfortable following clear instructions for feeding, litter care, and medications when needed. I pay close attention to routines and small changes in behavior, especially after I’ve spent a visit or two with a pet, which helps me quickly pick up on what they need. And yes, I fully believe in zoomies, cuddle breaks, and earning a pet’s trust through snacks and patience.

Colleen C. has cared for our fur baby Remy, with so much love, patience, and attention. She treats Remy like family and always makes us feel comfortable knowing she is in such safe and caring hands. Colleen is dependable, compassionate, and truly has a special connection with animals. Her kindness, communication, and excellent customer service make her someone we completely trust and highly recommend to anyone looking for loving pet care. She is genuinely an awesome human being.

I’ve had my 11 year old cat since he was 10 weeks old and over the years I always felt uneasy to leave him by himself, even with a bunch of food and water throughout the apartment, pet cameras just to go on vacations and out of town. I’ve struggled to trust just anyone to waltz in my house and trust them to properly take care of him, until Colleen offered… Over the years there has been quite a few times where Colleen has stayed with Bernie for a day and would come back in the morning or she has come in the mornings, left and would drive all the way back just to make sure he’s still doing ok and feed him his dinner, change his water, clean out his litter box, play with him with the toys in his toy box and sometimes if the weather is nice let him out on the balcony to get some fresh air. She’s extremely reliable, caring, funny, playful and kind. I’ve trusted her for so many years with my fur baby and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him. Whenever I come back he’s in great condition, he’s relaxed, well fed, his litter box is cleaned out and refreshed. She treats him as if he was her own and she’s RELIABLE. It makes me feel better when I have to leave for more than a day, I know he’s always in good hands. She has fur babies of her own for, she has the experience, responsibility and reliability!
