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.

10/10 Would recommend and rebook again. Our pets were happy and content. Communication was excellent and our home was treated as if it was her own.
Colleen was fantastic with my 3 pups! Will definitely book again.
We are repeat clients. Colleen always communicates with us during her pet sit and I feel confident our pet receives the best care.

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

- Dogs: Will they run if they get out? Are they good on the leash? Cats: Are they friendly? Horses: Do they ever get skittish? If you need me to ride them, is there anything along the trail that they don't like? Horses are so funny about some things.
