Pet care experience
I am committed to providing reliable pet services and making sure your pets are loved while you're away. I grew up with dogs and cats and have been a pet sitter for friends and family for over 3 decades. I recently lost by beloved 14-year-old lab mix so I have a lot of love to share with your animals. I also had a spunky orange tabby cat for 17 years. I work from home so I can set my own schedule for the most part which helps me make sure that your fur baby gets plenty of potty breaks and attention. I love to run, so if your dog is up for something a little faster than a walk, I'm your girl. I have had some wonderful experiences with Rover while living in Chandler, AZ and want to help others feel as comfortable as I have been leaving my babies in someone else's hands. Having someone come into your home to watch your pets can be nerve-wracking, but rest assured I will treat your home with respect, cleanliness and care. Plus, the animals are often more comfortable in their own space. I have experience with Senior animals and administering oral medications as well as accommodating and nurturing other ailments such as arthritis and hip dysplasia.
Reviews
Colleen was a wonderful fit for our family! From the beginning she was extremely responsive and flexible when we had to reschedule our meet and greet. She was so sweet to our Sherman and sent updates throughout the day! I could tell he was super happy in all of the photos and she was very compassionate toward him when we were around. Very happy to have found Colleen!
Colleen has watched both our cats and our small Shih Tzu. While the Shih Tzu doesn't really enjoy playing with other dogs, Bailey always tries to bow and initiate playtime and is so gentle with her. We've had Colleen watch our pets at our house and hers. She is very trustworthy, respectful and will leave the place as nice as you left it. We always feel confident our pets are in good hands with her.
Colleen has dog sat both our boxer and lab mix. Our lab mix is old, but loves playing with Bailey. When our Boxer had repeated ear infections that got more aggravated by our lab licking his ears and a cone couldn’t prevent the problem, we needed to separate them which was hard to do when we were at work all day and only one room had a doggy door. Colleen took our dog for two weeks, administered medication and spoiled him rotten. She sent us pics regularly so our daughter could see he was having fun. After we got the problem cleared up, he was able to return home and hasn’t had an issue since. She has also dropped into our house to feed the dogs and give them some attention when we have been away. Your pets will love her!

Information Colleen I. would like to know about your pet
I don't have breed preferences, but I would like to know that the dog has been socialized. All animals have their cute little quirks so I'd love to know what their favorite things are!
