Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced home and pet owner
I raised 5 children and we were the house with dogs, cats, fish, birds and the neighborhood kids. Now everyone’s grown and I currently have no pets of my own, so I’m free to give all the attention to your pet. I teach English as a second language online and I teach swimming! My days are flexible so your pets won’t be alone for extended periods of time.
Cat care experience
Colleen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I do like to take the dogs for walks. I stay overnight at your home. I make sure the house is nice and clean when I leave and the linens washed. If checkout isn’t too early, I will make up the beds. If something happens on your trip, I’m usually able to make changes if you need me to stay longer or just change the dates. Also, if you have trouble with your return travel, I will come back to your house to be with your pets.
Ratings and reviews
Colleen takes good care of our pups!
Gave good feedback and lots of videos, pictures
Colleen was great! Will definitely rebook!
Colleen took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town. She played with them and loved them as if they were her own. Our house was well maintained as well. We will definitely be asking Colleen to help us out again in the future. Thank you so much!
This is our second time with Colleen as in-house rover for Patty. She takes great care of her, lets us know how things are going, and the house is in great shape when we return. We hope to work with her again!
Colleen has been a great rover for us twice now! Patty is a happy dog and the house is in great shape when we get back :) Thank you, Colleen!

Schedule
I prefer sits of three days or more. My schedule is flexible so they won’t be spending too much time alone. In the spring and the fall, I typically teach swim lessons in the afternoon early evening. In the summer, I teach more usually in the mornings with a break in the afternoon to come home and eat and rest, take care of the pets. Then back out again for more lessons in the evening or teaching online. I teach online during the winter
