Quite pack leader, pick up/drop off

Pet care experience

I believe the best way to keep happy dogs is engaging them and all their senses regularly. A tired dog is a happy dog. I love to play games, teach scent oriented play, run light agility obstacles (beginner level) and create regular social interactions. Dogs are like family in my home. All dogs whether inside or outside have a personalized comfortable safe and clean place to rest, eat and play. My dogs all recieve regular grooming care as well. Bathing, brushing and daily body checks to ensure the highest level of physical comfort. Our veterinarian will do home visits should the need arise. Gentle loving care is what we do here. Pick up and drop off available. I live in a nice little City where parks and dog walks are close at hand.

Colleen was AMAZING! I could not be more impressed with how well she took care of Copper. We went to meet Colleen at her home, where Copper would be staying and her property was more than fit for boarding many types of pets. She greeted us with cold beverages and then we went on a tour of her property. Her whole property is fenced in, but she also has a HUGE dog run with a HUGE dog house with a queen size bed for pups to have naps in. The Dog run had high fences all around it, and she also goes through extra lengths to make sure it's secure so the pups she is boarding don't jump out. Pups have a kiddie pool that they can cool off in and the inside of her house is fully fit for the pups to sleep in their own room, or wherever they fall asleep, really! Colleen sent many pictures and videos throughout the trip of Copper enjoying himself. This helped a lot because we were out of the country and it was nice to know how copper was doing every day! <3 I would highly recommend booking with Colleen. Her house is about an hour North West of Red Deer, but Colleen does pickups and drop-offs for an extremely reasonable price. At the end of Copper's stay she brought Copper home with his favourite toys (to which he still plays with every day!) Copper missed Colleen and her two pups Kao & Basil SO MUCH when he came home. After being at their beautiful property for 6 days it was a true retreat for Copper and I can't thank her enough! We will definitely be booking with Colleen again. She is a true animal lover and you can tell the secound you meet her how passionate she is about her job and the well-being of animals! Thanks again Colleen!

I have shared multiple "puppy" playdates with two of my dogs and Colleen and her dogs. The experiences have always been incredibly positive and have also provided a learning experience for me to integrate new practices with my own pets. Colleen has exhibted solid awareness around dog behaviors and I would unequvacably entrust the care of my fur babies to her. Her love of dogs, both hers and others is a beautiful interaction to bear witness to.

Hi my name is Shelley . Colleen has not only cared for my dogs many times , she personally helped select a rescue dog to add to my family . She is magic with animals . The live care and attention she gives is unsurpassed by anyone I have ever met . I truly believe she lives for animals . Especially dogs . You won’t find a better care giver anywhere. My dogs come home better trained and happy after being with her and she alwYs gives me great advice and guidance. If I ever have a question outside of care , she is always there for me . Thank you Shelley

I have known Colleen D. for many many years. She is an amazing person in herself, and very knowlegable with all animals. Not just dogs. Is a totally animal lover and can relate with all breeds. She is a very quite person with animals and they really respond to her. Loves them all, and can spoil with such kindness Any one would be very fortunate to have her do day care with there dog, or just even walk them. She is very capable to handle all breeds of dogs. She is also very good at knowing if there is a medical issue with a dog Regards Linda
