Retirees who will love your pet!

We are recent retirees who love animals. We have had our own dogs throughout our lives and have experience in caring and nurturing pets. Our last pet was Lola, a very stubborn bulldog who had many special needs in her 11 years. We are the go-to for sitting our kids and friends fur babies. We realize we are very good at it and why not make it a sideline? I love taking photos and will keep you posted on your pet. I'm also an organizer and love cleaning, if that's something your interested in.

Thank you Colleen and Rob for taking such amazing care of my two basset hounds, Rupert and Poppy. I received updates and photo's showing the dogs, happy and relaxed. On the day I left for my vacation Poppy came down with a bladder infection, Colleen took care of her, emailing updates which put peace of mind, with updates from the vets visit to feeding her the pills, which was not easy. I had no worries due to Colleen's past experience with her own dog. It was such a pleasure to come home to two happy dogs and a spotless clean house. Will be using them again, when I have my next vacation. Colleen and Rob are very lovely people who love dogs and are perfect dog and house sitters.

Colleen was a wonderful pet and house sitter while we went away. Our two large dogs loved her and we could tell they were happy and relaxed when we got home. Colleen treated our house like her own and left it looking great. I think our dogs already miss her!

Colleen is an amazing dog sitter who looked after our pup, Clover, so well. We hope she will come back and look after her again. An added bonus was coming home to a house that has never been so clean! Thank you so much. It was great to go away and not worry about Clover at all, and we loved the photo updates!
