Retirees who will love your pet!

Pet care experience

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.

Colleen and Robb are incredible! They went above and beyond in every way. They truly made our vacation better: we knew our dog was being well cared for and loved (the pics were amazing), our house was immaculate, they were flexible with our travel delays, they were conscientious and considerate with every detail, and the communication level was phenomenal. We were a bit nervous about leaving our quirky Frenchie, Walter, but it’s clear in our return that he was in the best hands. We won’t hesitate to reach out to Colleen and Robb in the future or to share their profile with our friends and family. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a stress free vacation and pampering for your furry friend/s.

Colleen and her husband watched our 2 frenchies for 2 weeks in February. We love them and so do the dogs. The boys were so well taken care of and so was our home. We returned to 2 happy healthy dogs and a very clean house. They sent us a text updates, pics and some videos regularly, which my wife and I really appreciated. They also helped our boys with a pulling issue they had on leash and found a way to help reduce that behaviour. We will book with this wonderful couple again.

We very highly recommend Colleen and Rob. They took fantastic care of our young, high energy poodle….and also took excellent care of our house. They are warm, kind people who clearly love dogs, but also know how hard it can be to leave a pet behind so we’re great about sending updates and photos during their stay. We will definitely be booking with them again.
