Pet care experience

24 hour "Spoil your Pet service"

I only take one owner's babies at a time. I am retired so special diets, sleeping needs, medical care or whatever your babies' needs are I can accommodate. My husband Gene and I have no children or pets so we can spoil your baby's. Our home/neighborhood/furniture is pet friendly. Our community is gated with a fenced in dog park. I love having pets on my lap while I spoil them by brushing and petting them. I have had different sizes and types of pets thru out the years and loved every one of them. I have watched several pets over the years. I look forward to meeting you and your baby's. Ring me up for a meet and greet.

Colleen was absolutely amazing. She always kept in touch and sent photos daily. I was able to do a meet and greet before this long stay as well to make sure it was a good fit. My baby has never been happier, she didnt even want to come home, which means she was so well cared for and had a great time.

As always Colleen wtook great care of our pups. It was a quick trip out of town and she gave the same level of service as if I was paying $$$$

Colleen was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Luigi. We had a meet and greet so that we could get to know her before dropping off Luigi with her. Luigi stayed at Colleen's house over night and had a great time! They went on a lot of walks and he came home tired and happy. Best of all, she sent us updates and pictures throughout the day so we felt assured Luigi was well-cared for. We highly recommend using Colleen.

Colleen was exemplary. Asked questions so she made sure she had all the particulars for my dogs care. On time and excellent with communication. Sent me pics of dog while I was away with updates and much more. You will not be disappointed if you employ this lady's expertise.

My little schnauzer is typically a Mama’s boy and won’t have anything to do with anyone else. He settled right in with Colleen and her husband and made himself at home. She sent pictures, videos, and texts. I highly recommend her!
