Pet care experience

Dog mom (cat slave) at your service

I have lived with and cared for animals almost my entire life, and I have been told many times that I have a way with animals. All of my dogs have been adopted or rescued, and they all came from situations of abuse, abandonment, or neglect. Every single one of my dogs, with love and training, became amazing, wonderful companions. All any dog wants is simply to know what to do to get love and treats. So I'm a big believer in love and treats. With my dogs, I have used Gentle Leader halter collars to guide them for appropriate behavior during walks and click-treat training to teach them what I want them to do. I don't use harsh words, painful collars, or physical punishment. And with cats, all of my cats have been inside-only cats and utterly spoiled. Of course. Over the years, my cats have trained me well, and I speak fluent feline.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I realize that people have different ways of caring for their pets and structuring their pet's home environment. I try to be mindful of how my client wants things done and, of course, careful about their pet's safety at all times.

Colleen did an amazing job of everything we asked and then some. She provided lots of pictures every day-both of our pets and ensuring she got the job done-as well as updates about how they were doing and how they were getting along with her.

Colleen did a great job watching my kitties! She was through and consistent and has a clear understanding of what cats want from their people!
