Hi there! My name is Colleen. I was born and raised in Albuquerque NM and enjoy pet sitting around the city. My availability is typically flexible in order to accommodate tough schedules. I have experience dog sitting for many different and awesome breeds including Boxers, German Shepherds, Great Danes, Labradors, Terriers, and Pit bulls. Communication is one of my top priorities while on the job and I will be sure to keep you informed and updated on how things are running during the time you are away. I love making dogs happy and keeping them healthy so if there are any other requests besides the guaranteed walks, feeding, fresh water, and attention, please feel free to reach out. Also, if house sitting is necessary, I am happy to water plants, check mail, and set the trash to the curb as well. I know each pet has different set of needs so any specific instructions on how to feed, walk, play, I will be sure to follow

I've had some previous issues and concerns with house sitters, and let me tell you, Colleen completely restored my faith in people. She was very polite and attentive during our initial meeting, and truly showed her passion for pets. During the stay, she kept me posted with timely updates proactively, to ease my mind before I even needed to check-in. Upon my return, I found a spotless house (really, she left it better than I had left it for her), and most importantly, a super happy pup. I won't hesitate to have her over again, and you shouldn't either!

Colleen is the best dog-sitter I have ever had: she sent me pictures everyday and even a couple videos! I was totally at ease the entire time. She also took wonderful care of my house--it looks cleaner in here than when I left. The most important part is I can tell she really likes and cares for my dog--he looked very happy and calm in the pics and videos she sent and he was very relaxed and happy when I got home. Looking forward to having Colleen stay during future trips!

Colleen was wonderful! She took great care of our older dog and spent plenty of time giving him love and sending us photos - we will definitely be asking Colleen to help us in the future!

Colleen was wonderful!!! She made sure my dogs were loved and well cared for while I was gone. She was great with their complicated meals and diet restrictions, as well as their spoiled personalities. When I got home my dogs were happy, my house was clean and smelled great! Thank you so much Colleen!!!
