Pet care experience

Hey there, my name is Colleen! I'm 32 years old, and I've had pets my entire life! Through the years and the age-old grapevine, I've met many pets with lots of different needs. This has given me the opportunity to learn how to interact with many different animals, and understand the special needs they may have. From loads of excess energy and super chewers, to insulin injections; and even to severe anxiety and those who have been rescued from being treated inhumanely (fighting dogs, neglect, etc.), my goal is to make your pet as comfortable as if you're in the next room!

Colleen was/is wonderful in every way! Easy to talk with, prompt, flexible, great daily updates with pictures and sweet words. This was my 1st time away from Tully and I was very hesitant and stressed about it. I'm very, very happy with Colleens care for my Tully and will certainly book her again!

Colleen is a true gem! I have German Shepherds that are not used to having people come over and take a while to get comfortable with new people. Colleen agreed to work with them a bit at a time to gain their trust for a trip I am taking soon. The first thing I noticed was her calmness and confidence...not easy to come by with weary German Shepherds. She continues to make me feel more comfortable as well, as I have never had anyone take my dogs for walks before or even come over for a playdate! Its like watching your kids go off to kindergarten lol. Truly appreciative that I found someone like Colleen.

Always on time and consistent on communication and photos about how my dog is doing while I’m at work. (:
