Animals are just small friends.
Pet care experience
My name is Colleen. I am a 24 year old student looking to supplement my income by spending time and caring for animals. I treat every animal I have encountered as if it were my own. I helped raise my brother's puppy when we were in high school and it was then, I realized each animal has their own personality and they need to be tended to with the proper individual love and care. I love going on walks, being outside in general so the longer the walk the better. I am open to bringing them to the dog park if that is something you'd want me to do as well. I am very patient and calm when walking dogs because I like to believe they feed off our energy. I will always follow strict guidelines, for example if your dog prefers to be walked with other dogs, or alone etc. House visits, overnight visits: no request should be "too much" I can do whatever you need to make sure your animal is safe and comfortable while you are away.
Reviews
Colleen was awesome. Came to the house early, was a total professional. It was very obvious that she loves dogs and took great care of our Cam. Kept us up to date with pictures and everything. Would highly recommend and she will be one of our go to sitters in Hoboken. Thanks Colleen!

Colleen has cared for my dog, Cody, several times while he was alive. She also took care of 3 of my families pets while we went on a weeks vacation. Colleen would come to my house feed, walk , and spend time with the dogs. She was very responsible and took the time to make assure the dogs were comfortable before leaving. I am in process of rescuing another dog and I would 100% use her again most probably on a daily basis.
Colleen has been watching and walking my dog for four years. He loves when she’s around and comes to greet her enthusiastically, every time at the door. She’s very patient with my sometimes very vocal dog and understands his quirks. She is very reliable and likes spending extra time with my dog which he appreciates since he loves humans over other dogs.

Information Colleen K. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how the dog is on walks particularly, how they are with other animals, if I need to cross the street when we see another dog, stuff like that.
A typical day
If you have a specific route your dog is used to, I can follow that! For dogs that are open to any walk we will most likely being walking all over Hoboken, on the quitter streets to avoid any "drama". I have a huge backyard so if the dog parks are packed we can hang out at my place! Maybe stop by Starbucks for a puppyfrap
