Pet care experience

Peace of mind for pet parents

I have been a dog owner for over 30 years. My dogs have ranged from 6 lbs. to 120 lbs. I have dog sat for many friends over the years and fostered a lot of dogs/puppies through a local shelter. Everyone needs a person they can trust to treat their dog like their own, make them comfortable when in their care, and provide peace of mind for the pet parent. I aim to provide that stability and trust with one of your most precious family members. I have spent many years volunteering with a local shelter walking dogs, training, and fostering (even a couple of foster failures).

Colleen did amazing as always. She kept me in the loop and sent daily pictures of my babies. They were well taken care of.

My babies had so much fun! I felt at ease with Colleen and she sent me daily updates. Both my dogs had smiles and were so happy.

I am home most of the time and have great flexibility in my schedule to accomodate your needs. I am an early riser and like to get dog walks done in the cooler hours.

Safety, trust & environment

For a four legged guest in my home I have several options depending on the personality and comfort level of the guest and their family. All guests stay in the air conditioned home. I have gated areas within my home to allow for privacy. For those who need to be with humans when sleeping, I offer an extra large crate in the bedroom. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who are kept separate. Although my dogs tend to make guests feel welcome, I respect all parents wishes pertaining to interaction, food, and exercise.
