Happiness is a warm puppy

Pet care experience

I've raised and worked with dogs of many breeds and all sizes, from puppies to seniors who need extra care. I've cared for animals that have abusive or neglectful homes and have gotten my own pets as rescues so I understand the challenges they can pose. I'm patient with shy or frightened dogs. I hae been a full time pet sitter for over a year, and my friends have always called me first when they need someone to watch their pets. In my life I've cared for hundreds of dogs, and cats, at their home and mine. I look forward to meeting your "little one" and making a new friend in the process. Please message me for multiple dog rates. I generally charge $40 per night as my base rate, but I do not charge $40 per dog if there is more than one. Thanks!

She was so wonderful with our three animals. Was great with communicating and sending photos and videos which was so nice! Will use her again for house and animal sitting!

Colleen did a great job with Bruce. She was very helpful with vet visits that came up during our absence and provided us lots of updates.

Colleen took care of our house and our two furkids for a week recently. She did great! She took them for walks twice a day, which I know they loved. When she first arrived to meet them, Marley loved her at first sight. Our other dog Opal is very shy, but Colleen was patient and knew how to handle shy dogs until she was comfortable. It was so nice to relax on our vacation and know that our house and dogs were happy and taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

I am not currently offering boarding services, but your pets safety is my number one priority. This happens by ensuring all the proper equipment is being used on walks and that they are not left unattended outdoors.

Information Colleen K. would like to know about your pet

Food allergies, medications, vet info, favorite toy/treat. Potty or food "tells". Are they afraid of anything specific, like men or leather shoes, loud noises, etc

A typical day

Playing with and stimulating your pet mentally is one of the best parts of this job. I am always ready to play a good game of fetch or load a busy feeder just for them
