Man's best friend's best friend!

Pet care experience

I love getting to know the individual personalities of people's pets! Animals have many different needs, so don't be shy about giving specific directions or requests. I want to care for your buddy just as you would. Mostly, I will offer what dogs love most - time and undivided attention (and some great energy if needed)! I am a dog lover, but I cannot have one of my own where I currently live. I know helping you with your buddy is the next best thing! My work is flexible, especially before 3pm and after 7pm. I am willing to stay over night at your place, or visit early, mid-day and late night as needed, for any house sitting needs. If you need someone who can be around more often or for longer stretches of time, I can bring my computer and do some of my work while hanging with your buddy. I do not have kids or pets of my own to get home to, so my nights are flexible and your pup is my main priority. My pictures are probably not what you would expect: the cover photo shows my love of...nature. :) The gallery photos show: I am animal friendly...kid friendly...hung out with animals since I was a wee lass...and love animals so much I have been known to dress up like one from time to time. :)

Colleen was the best sitter we've ever had! She watched Jack and Lorelei for two weeks over Christmas and did an incredible job. She sent me pictures/videos and updates every day, and the house was immaculate when I got home! The dogs absolutely adore her, and we couldn't recommend her more highly!!

Colleen was great, and our dog Marci was well-cared for while we were gone! Marci would love to have Colleen stay with her again.

Information Colleen C. would like to know about your pet

I am not picky when it comes to breeds or sizes of dogs. All are welcome! It would be great to know of any allergies or health issues your buddy might have that could affect them while we are outdoors, or that would impede any movement, climbing, jumping, etc. I would also love to know how your buddy gets along with other animals and people (especially any little people we might encounter on a walk, etc.). Knowing a few commands that you use while walking, playing or during feeding time that are helpful would be great.

A typical day

I don't mind having your buddy in my car, if there is a specific place they like to go for walks or play that's more than a few miles away. If your dog is active, that's great! If your dog prefers to lounge around in the shade in the backyard, I can do that, too. I also have a bike I could bring along, if I can't keep up!
