Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, Responsible Petsitter
I love all animals and am a passionate animal welfare advocate and human to two rescue doggies, Andy and Cooper. I have been a volunteer/foster for various animal shelters and rescues both in the US and abroad. I have experience administering oral and injectable medications and am comfortable taking care of senior and special needs dogs and cats. In 2016, I started an animal rescue group "Zoo Dogs of Bahrain", focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, fostering and adopting out dogs and cats previously kept as neglected and abused zoo animals at a zoo in Bahrain, through which I learned about caring for many dogs and cats at once and managing different behaviors arising from neglect and abuse. Since the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, I’ve rescued, coordinated vetting for, rehabilitated, fostered, and adopted out over 30 rescued former-stray cats and kittens in need in South Florida, TNRed over 50 community cats in South Florida, and helped hundreds of South Florida rescue cats and kittens find their forever families in New England. Through these experiences, I have learned how to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, cats, rabbits, and many other animals. I will do my very best to ensure that your pets are comfortable and happy under my care!

Ratings and reviews
Colleen continues to be a lifesaver for our family! She is dependable, kind, and gentle with our kitties! She takes my cat's blood sugar, feeds him, gives him insulin and brushes and loves him! And even though my other cat is super anxious and runs, Colleen always makes sure she is safe and fed! Colleen is a rockstar!
Warm and dependable…highly recommend her she helped us out in a pinch
Colleen is the best! Thank you for taking such good care of my fur babies! 🐱🐱
Thank you for your exceptional care of our two Labradors, especially upon short notice. We appreciate you!!
Colleen is an excellent pet sitter!! I really appreciate that she doesn’t charge a ton extra for more cats compared to other sitters. She is also wonderful - took pictures of all our kitties every day, was able to give our special guy his pill, and took excellent care of them! We’ve used her twice and will not hesitate to book again!
I can't say enough positives about Colleen--we won't book with anyone else!
