Can provide medical care if needed!

Pet care experience

I have a Bachelors of Animal Science with a pre-veterinary concentration from the University of Illinois. I have 10 years of experience caring for dogs in my home and other people’s homes! I also have 4 years of experience in a veterinary clinic providing care for dogs. I am certified in small animal first aid and CPR. I am very comfortable working with special needs animals and any dogs that need medical care. I will limit myself to only your pets so that they receive my complete attention. My schedule is very flexible and I can’t wait to work with you and your dogs! If you have any questions for me feel free to ask. If I am caring for a dog in my home your pet must be okay with children.

Colleen and family are very accommodating. Took great care of our Yorkie. Would not hesitate to book with her again.

Colleen and her family were wonderful with our pups. She is committed to making sure our dogs are happy and healthy. We couldn't be more grateful for their care for our dogs! I highly recommend Colleen.

Awesome couple and dog sitters. Great communication and took such great care of Bucky and Bosco. Would love to rebook and would not hesitate to do so. Highly recommended.

Colleen was kind, responsive, and very accommodating when our travel plans changed last-minute and we needed to switch our pickup time. Her home is clean and spacious, with a great yard and a dog-loving family. 10/10 would board with her again!

I have mostly fenced in back yard with lots of room to run and play. Dogs are never left alone outside! I have a large home and allow pets on my furniture and in bed. I have small children but they are very very accustomed to animals as we generally always have a dog staying in our home.

Information Colleen D. would like to know about your pet

I want to make your pets stay as stress free as possible! I like to know all about their schedule so I can stick to that and make their stay in my home comfortable.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the park down the road from my house! I like taking them on adventures to smell all the new smells of the neighborhood and making them as comfortable as they can be with my home and neighborhood.
