Pet care experience

My name is Colleen. I have over 20 years in pet sitting / dog walking experience. I have also assisted my local animal shelter with foster dogs for the last five years. Your pet will be well taken care of and lots of pictures of their time with me and my family. I have experience ensuring pets have access to fresh food and water according to their dietary needs and schedules. Administering oral or topical medications as instructed by the pet owner. Brushing, bathing, and trimming fur as needed, or providing basic grooming services. Engaging in interactive playtime and providing opportunities for exercise, such as dog walking or playtime with toys. Providing pets with attention, affection, and a safe and comfortable environment. Adhering to specific care instructions provided by pet owners, including dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and behavioral preferences.

Colleen is a pleasure to work with. She replies very quickly and was very focused in providing excellent care for our dog while we visited the nearby national park. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Colleen!!!

Colleen has gone above and beyond. She has cared for our pup twice, providing regular updates and photos. We trust her with our Angel and hope she will continue to provide this immeasurably valuable service.
