Dogs loved their walks, Colleen was timely and communicated well. Dogs loved her.

Colleen loves animals, especially dogs, & they love her. My anxious, shy rescued Australian Shepherd has always felt comfortable with her from the beginning - they have a real love affair. She doesn’t warm to most people quickly so that’s a big deal. Colleen is also extremely responsible, thoughtful, detail-oriented, organized & loves the outdoors, so she’s sure to take your dog for lots of exercise if that’s what you want. She’s really caring & would do great with older dogs & puppies as well. You & your dog would be lucky to have her as a buddy & dog -walker!

Colleen has taken exceptional care of our dog, Piper. She is attentive, reliable, and genuinely loving. We always have complete peace of mind knowing Piper is safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands.

I am very particular about who comes into my home & watchful how my dog responds to a sitter and/or stranger. My dog is apprehensive around strangers but, right off the bat, it was apparent that Colleen and my dog were going to be best friends. My dog becomes skittish with sounds that she’s not familiar with. She will shy away & disappear under the bed. That has not happened with Colleen. She is intuitive and attentive to my dog’s needs and gives her plenty of cuddles. My dog feels that it is a requirement. I am happy to give Colleen a rave review and grateful to have found a dependable person that my dog trusts and is comfortable with.

Colleen started walking my dog a year ago when I had ankle surgery. My Sophie is a shy, anxious, but very energetic Sheltie. Sophie has fear issues, can be challenging to walk, and does not easily warm up to people. Colleen took the time to really connect with my dog before that first walk, sowing the seeds of trust. I could tell when they returned that Sophie enjoyed her time with Colleen. Colleen runs with her, plays with her, and gives her moments of ‘choice’ – trail or road? Sophie is ALWAYS excited to see Colleen and tired when she leaves. I didn't plan to keep using Colleen after recovering from surgery, but Sophie is so bonded with Colleen and needs her run time, so we’re still going strong. I highly recommend Colleen as a dog walker/runner. She really loves the pups, she loves being active and outside. She connects well with animals and understands their needs.

Our dogs love Colleen! She is very kind and patient with them. She work well with our hyperactive dog and can calm him quickly. She is very responsive and communicates well. I highly trust her with my dogs and know that they will be well taken care of with her.
