Pet care experience
Let Me Play With Your Pups!
I am a total animal lover, and have owned and cared for various different species over the years. Turtles, hamsters, dogs, cats, ferrets, birds… you name it! I treat every animal as if it were my own, and love being able to provide care specific to each of your pet’s needs. I have so much fun bringing new furry friends on long walks around their neighborhood where they can sniff to their hearts desire, or even on outings like to the farmers market or hiking if they enjoy tagging along! Whether they prefer to chill and nap, or play fetch and run around like crazy, I’m game! I love to find ways to tire high-energy dogs out & always have fun inventing new games to help stimulate their brains! Enrichment is something that I make sure to provide on a daily basis. For my reactive pet parents on here, I completely understand the struggle! I currently have a 2 year old leash-reactive poodle mix that I rescued about 6 months ago. With extensive professional training (for me and him!!) and lots of patience, we have made complete strides in his reactivity! That being said, I have quite a bit of up to date knowledge on dog reactivity, body language, and training methods, and would love to give you a break from the stress of walking a reactive dog, while also giving you peace of mind that I have experience navigating dog reactivity.

Safety, trust & environment
During my house sits, staying respectful to your home is a top priority of mine. I am sure to follow any directions for the house and pet that you leave with me, and I will always strive to leave your home cleaner and your pet happier than I found them! I also guarantee report cards and photos for your pups 2x a day & am always happy to send extra photos and updates if requested!
Ratings and reviews
Colleen took such good care of my pup Ember again. She gave me morning and evening updates every day complete with lots of pictures. Ember just loves when Colleen stays with her! She also treated my house with respect and care and left everything very clean.
Always so attentive and caring for my pup!
Colleen took such good care of my pup! She sent regular update with lots of pictures and handled her quirks well. And she was very respectful of my house and space. I'll certainly book with Colleen again for a future trip!
Colleen always takes the best care of Dougie and we love her pics and updates she sends daily!!
Colleen is always providing great updates and really understands the quirks of our dogs and it gives us the confidende they’re always well taken care of while we’re gone!
Colleen did an amazing job watching my dog, Cozy, while I was away. She went above and beyond—sending daily updates, photos, and making sure he was happy and well cared for. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Cozy was in such great hands. She also took excellent care of my home, keeping everything clean and in perfect order when I returned. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—reliable, kind, and truly attentive. Highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for someone they can trust with both their pet and their home!
