Information Colleen E. would like to know about your pet

Any medical health issues: pills, bad hips, any arthritic pain. Anything that will require special attention so I am prepared and know what to expect.

A typical day

I love playing fetch and tug-of-war (or whatever toy is their favorite). Typically when I take a dog for a walk, I'll stay in their neighborhood; if there is a park nearby, I can take them around the path a couple of times.

Pet care experience

I've had a dog all my life. I absolutely love them. I have dog sat for friends and family before. I have experience with dog walking, baths,medicines etc. As a pet owner, I understand the worry of leaving the pets, I would love to give people some peace of mind that their pets are well taken care of. Just want to lend a hand taking care of fur babies.

Colleen did an amazing job taking care of my cat while I was away for the weekend. She’s reliable and cared a lot about my cat. I’d definitely book with her again.

Colleen did a wonderful job taking care of both our dog and our house during our weekend away. When we met her the week before our trip it was clear that she loves pets and they love her too. She was a great communicator and left our house and our guest room neat and clean. We felt very comfortable having her stay at our home and taking care of our dog. We will definitely be using her services again.

Colleen was exceptional in caring for our dogs and our home. She sent daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing everything was well looked after. We would absolutely book her services again in the future.

Colleen did a fantastic job watching our furry crew (1 dog 2 cats). We received much-appreciated photos, and updates throughout our trip, and returned home to find our animals loved, and our home so well cared for. It's so hard to find someone to trust your fur babies with, and we will DEFINITELY be using Colleen's services in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
