Availability
I am currently working as a substitute teacher on a long-term assignment. Since I teach TK (Transitional Kindergarten), I have more time to hang out with your pups. I am free after 3:00 PM on weekdays, and have open availability on weekends. I also have open availability ability During school breaks, like spring break, or recognized holidays, as we have those days off. During the summer, my availability will be even more open.

Safety, trust & environment
I can board at my apartment, but I prefer to provide care at clients' homes because I live in an apartment complex. The complex is gated and has nice areas to take dogs out to go potty or for a walk. I have a very friendly cat who loves dogs and has tall cat trees where she can retreat if she gets scared. I provide daily updates and pictures of your fur babies, and carefully follow all instructions. Depending upon your home environment, I provide walks and or play in the backyard.

Pet care experience
I am an experienced dog walker with 7 years in the pet industry, 10 years in animal rescues, and a lifetime of pet parenting! I have worked with rescues to help foster and train dogs and cats. I worked for 2 years as a dog walker with a local company in Sacramento and left to pursue finishing my bachelor's degree, but I really miss walking and caring for dogs. I have dog training experience and take your pets' safety very seriously! I will treat your pet like a family member and might even be able to help with pulling and leash aggression! I truly love pets and couldn't wait to see my regular clients and say hi to their wagging tails every day. I don't mind doggy kisses! In fact, I encourage them :) I recently had to put down my 18 year old soul dog, Xander. He had kidney disease and lived longer than the vets expected. So I have experience with senior pets, administering medication, as well as subcutaneous fluids. I also have experience with puppies and kittens. My work fostering for rescues has given me years of experience with pets of all ages, and medical conditions. I have successfully trained puppies and helped them find forever homes. I have also fostered, and trained kittens and cats from bottle babies to senior kitties. I am an animal lover through and through.

Reviews
Colleen is great with my dog and all animals! She is always attentive to the special needs, quirks, and personalities of pets. I highly recommend her!
I am a dog agility trainer of 12 years in Bay Area. I trust Colleen with my dogs as well as my students' dogs. Highly recommend Colleen!
She’s an amazing dog walker/watcher/teacher! I trust her all the time with my 2 doggies! She makes them feel comfortable when we leave and continues to train/treat them as her own. I have known her for over 5 years and I would always recommend her to other animal owners. Colleen is the best around!! -Kirsten L
