Highlights
Pet care experience
Full time fur mama!
I grew up in a house that always had multiple dogs and multiple cats, and couldn’t imagine living any other way! I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, who I consider my children (no human children). All my love is poured into my fur babies, and while they are needy and have 0 concept of personal space, they love hard and are incredibly welcoming to all our visitors, human and fur alike! I foster puppies and small dogs through Pope Memorial animal shelter in Dover, so I have a lot of experience with bathroom training and crate training if needed.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in portion of the yard that I use specifically for my dogs, there is an entrance to the fenced in yard from the house so there is no unsafe transition to get them from the house to the yard where they could pull or run away. My dogs are allowed on furniture and on my bed, but I also have several dog crates available if a visitor prefers sleeping alone. I have 2 male cats, who act more like dogs. They snuggle with my dogs and get along great with all puppies and small dogs who visit! On rainy days when outside play is hard, I like to take our dogs to the Foxrun mall, where they allow dogs on leashes! It’s a great way to socialize them and get some exercise. I only take one animal per trip, so most of the time this requires multiple trips, but everyone is always so happy and tuckered out afterwards!
Ratings and reviews
Colleen was excellent with my little man, Noodle! I got regular updates and pictures, and I know he was well cared for.
Colleen is great with dogs of all sizes! She very communicative and caring for each dog she cares for. We will continue to use Colleen for boarding!
Colleen was great! Very kind and attentive to our pups!
Oh my gosh, what a delightful experience! Colleen’s home is full of comfort and joy and SO MANY DOGS - Roo had such a great time and made new friends, communication was consistent with adorable pictures, I could not ask for a better place for Roo to stay!
Friendly to dogs and humans, too!
Colleen is an amazing person!! I was so nervous leaving my precious pug but as soon as I met her I calmed down and instantly knew he was in the best hands. Colleen let me have updates and pictures. I dont think my Bodie wanted to leave. He had such a great time with his new friends. I will definitely book with Colleen again when we are in the area. If I could leave 10 stars I would!
