About Colleen H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow all pet owner instructions regarding care for their home and pet while they’re away. I always exercise my best judgement and care for all pets as my own.
Information Colleen H. would like to know about your pet
I am accepting of all pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, small animals, and more!) and would like to be aware of your pet’s likes and dislikes, daily routine, and important medical information (i.e. medical conditions, allergies, etc.) so I can make sure his or her time with me is as comfortable as possible!
A typical day
We can go for walks on local trails, at the beach, or around the neighborhood- whichever your dog prefers! I also love giving tummy rubs, playing fetch, or just relaxing!

Pet care experience
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!
Reviews


Colleen is our favorite pet sitter! She is so great with our anxious, shy boy kitty and his alter ego sitter who craves all the attention! She can give him his meds better than I can and they always seem to be relaxed and well looked after each time we go somewhere. Colleen is fantastic!

Very patient and reliable! Colleen is great!

Thank you so much for taking care of my little old lady. The weekend was so hectic. I didn’t even have a chance to check in with you, but I knew she was in very very good hands.


Colleen took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away! Reliable, kind, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!
