Love taking walks to explore, and lots of snuggle and play time! Willing to walk in all kinds of weather as well. Whatever your pup needs!

Colleen did everything she was asked to do. She kept me informed and sent photos throughout the term. I am a repeat, satisfied customer.

Colleen has a soft spot for animals and will take great care of them. She is dependable and very good at communicating. She has helped with our cats and dog a few times now. Would recommend!

Colleen is very good with our cats. We have 4 elderly cats and she checks that each one is well before she leaves. She checks on our cats twice a day while we are away, and send video and picture updates letting us know how they are doing. As we have elderly cats, a lot of them come with medication. She is precise is giving them their medication and keeps logs to make sure all cats are on track. She is friendly and warm with the cats and they all have come to know her and even our shyest cat will come out for her. I highly recommend Colleen as a pet sitter.

Colleen has been taking care of my pets for the past two years whenever I go on vacation. She not only checks in on my cats, making sure they have food, water, and a clean litter box, but she also sends me regular updates and pictures of my babies to let me know they are doing well while I'm away. She is a true pet lover and my cats have really warmed up to her (even my boy cat who is skeptical of anyone besides me). She even listens and follows any silly pet guidelines or warnings I give without hesitation/judgement (such as Gus gets half his treats first, then Penny gets hers, then Gus gets the other half because he will steals his sister's if not distracted.) She is a great pet sitter- friendly, precise, and helpful.
