Safety, trust & environment

I have never been without a pet in my life, so I truly understand what it takes to care for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a fellow pet owner who also hires sitters on Rover for my own pup, I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to treat your pet like their own.

Information Colleen G. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know of any special needs, requests or any information about your pets even if it is just their favorite place to walk or toy to catch – anything that can further help me take care of your pet in the best way!

A typical day

I'm the kind of dog owner who's always on the move, running around outside with my pup or playing on the floor at home (when she isn't taking 1 out of her 20 naps a day that is). So whether you have a fenced-in yard to zoom around in or live in a walkable neighborhood, I love helping dogs get the exercise and mental stimulation they need so they can enjoy their afternoon naps that much more.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs, cats and bunnies my whole life–whether they were my own, neighbors, family or friends. I have a couch potato of a 5-year-old Golden Retriever who I trained when she was a pup and now I handle all of her grooming and day to day needs. If it were up to me, my house would be a full-on animal sanctuary but since that’s not exactly practical, here I am on Rover doing the next best thing which is taking care of your pets like they’re my own!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
