Ratings and reviews
I trust Colleen completely with my dogs and my home, and that is one of the most important things I can say about a pet sitter. She has stayed with my two active adult dogs several times a year for many years, and she has become our go-to sitter. My dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited when she arrives that they seem to look forward to my vacations! What I appreciate most about Colleen is how responsible, attentive, and trustworthy she is. I know my dogs are not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while I’m away. She has administered medications when needed and has even recognized when one of my dogs needed veterinary care and taken him to the vet. He’s all better now, and I was incredibly grateful to have someone I trusted there to handle it. Colleen has experience with many different kinds of animals as well. She lives on a small farm and cares for horses, sheep, goats, and chickens, so she is comfortable and knowledgeable around animals of all kinds. I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and experienced pet sitter. Knowing that she is caring for my dogs gives me complete peace of mind when I’m away.
Colleen is the BEST EVER dog sitter! She is incredibly caring, responsible, and fun-loving! Our dog Jesse loves her and responds so well to her. Colleen goes above and beyond to take care of our dog and home while we are gone, often leaving both in better condition than when we left! :) I wholeheartedly recommend Colleen! You can't find a better person to take your place as a pet parent!!
Colleen has cared for our horses and cats a number of times. She is an animal-lover. She is reliable and responsible, and cares for them as if they were her own. She has cared for several other peoples’ animals with the same high level of satisfaction. I highly recommend her to care for your animals.
Colleen has taken care of both of my dogs several times. She is kind, patient, and loving, and attends to their every need. She is very communicative and follows instructions to the “T”. Highly recommend Colleen!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The best cat sitter I’ve ever had — truly exceptional! I’ve trusted Colleen with my three mischievous rescue kitties for three years, ever since they were tiny kittens. She is wonderful. Colleen is responsible, attentive, and always makes sure she understands every detail of their care. She follows written/verbal instructions perfectly and asks thoughtful questions. Colleen consistently checks in so I know my cats are happy and safe. One of my cats has health issues and needs daily medication. Colleen is incredibly skilled at giving it — calm, patient, and confident. She plays with all three of them, keeps them engaged, and sends photos during every visit, which I absolutely love. My cats adore her so much that they sometimes wander around the house looking for her. Collen also takes the extra effort to share what she knows about cats. For example, she recommended a water fountain for them. Now, the fountain is one of their favorite things. It’s clear she genuinely cares about their well‑being, and loves animals! I never worry when she’s watching them. She treats them like her own, and I would recommend her without a single hesitation.
My 3 fur-babies are my world, and the people I would entrust their care to I can count on one hand. Colleen is one of those people. In fact, Colleen is the only other human my cats will come to, even when she hasn’t seen them in months. They love her. When one of our cats was passing, and we had to be away overnight, it was Colleen we trusted to stay with Jasmyne, and Jasmyne slept beside her all night. ❤️I would not hesitate to recommend Colleen for any pet-sitting job.
