Lifetime animal lover and caretaker
Pet care experience
I first started watching dogs in my neighborhood when I was a child. After college I started my own non profit rescue group. I have experience with a wide variety of animals (dogs, cats, birds, small rodents etc) and have a strict but loving nature towards them all.
Reviews
We love Colleen! She is so kind and sweet to Bear, and always dependable. Bear loves her and we feel so good when she is with her. We are lucky to have found Colleen!
Thanks for always taking good care of Ellie!
Colleen always goes above and beyond. Helped us out in a pinch today on short notice, and we (and Finn) are so grateful for her! She’s the best.
Colleen was so communicative and so lovely with my lads for Christmas! They both got plenty of pets and lots of play time. This was my first time using Rover and it was really nice to feel so comfortable and not be worried at all.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At my house I have a tiny fenced in back yard. I don’t mind taking care of another dog inside my home as long as they are well socialized. If I’m watching the animals at your house I will be respectful of your things.
Home
Information Colleen H. would like to know about your pet
I’m very good at adapting to and learning animal behaviors. If your pet has any quirks or anything they absolutely won’t tolerate I would appreciate a warning beforehand.
A typical day
I live to go for long walks and hikes in the woods. I love checking out the local state parks and I have always get a yearly membership to Great Falls. I also play fetch inside the house. There is a dog park across the street from my house that I can take dogs to if they like (mine do not enjoy going unfortunately). At night I enjoy snuggling up with the dogs on the couch and reading a book or watching tv. Snuggle time is the best time!
