Responsible & Friendly Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Looking to make some extra money spending time with my favorite people ever - DOGS! I grew up with two dogs of my own and have been pet sitting for as long as I can remember. I am super responsible and am simply hoping to make some money to pay off my student loans

Colleen did an excellent job dog sitting for Oscar while we were away. I felt very comfortable with her and Oscar seemed to have a great time. Will definitely use her again!

Colleen was an excellent sitter! She did a great job being super responsive and you could tell she really cared for our puppy. It felt great to know our favorite dog was taken great care of even while we were gone :) Can’t say enough good things!

Recently I left my puppy for the first time ever with Colleen. While I was gone Colleen was extremely responsive to any nervous texts or calls she received from me, and spoiled Murphy with long walks and extra playtime! I felt extremely comfortable knowing Murphy was in good hands and will absolutely be booking Colleen again for my next trip. She even watered my plants for me while I was gone, if you're looking for a great dog-sitter she's your girl!

Colleen is an extremely responsible, loving and friendly person and friend - and more importantly, animal lover. She is commonly referred to as the Steve Irwin of Fairfield county. We have shared many long days and nights looking after dogs large and small, black and white, sweet and independent, and she acts as if she is the mother who birthed these fur children herself each time she watches them. Every time she approaches my door, my 150+ lb dog wags his 4 foot tail so uncontrollably with joy that he has knocked over several of my grandmas ancient lamp shades. Colleen makes him so happy that they can only meet in a large field now. She’s the best. Or as my dog would say, she is the woof.
