The ultimate dog sitter

Pet care experience

I love dogs soooo much. All of them. I've never been settled enough to get my own so I have to borrow yours :) I've worked as a dog walker and pet sitter for years and at a local dog daycare/boarding facility. I have lots of experience with all different doggie personalities. I recently quit my doggie daycare job because I was tired of being stuck inside all day. My long term goal is to some day buy a piece of land in the PNW and start my own outdoor dog "camp" if you will. Basically a fun boarding facility that would have space for the dogs to actually roam around outside. You can help me reach that goal by hiring me and then telling all your friends how great I am! ;) Thanks for reading!

I worked with Colleen at a dog daycare and boarding facility for about a year. At this daycare we saw the full range of doggie temperaments and personalities, from extremely social dogs who wanted to play with everyone in daycare to very anxious and dog-aggressive dogs who received private walks, and Colleen was great with all of them. She knows how to make dogs feel comfortable in situations that may make them nervous (e.g. being away from their families), and read their body language. She also understands the sometimes subtle difference between appropriate and inappropriate dog play, and can manage playtime with multiple dogs to avoid conflict before it starts and make sure everyone is safe and having fun. I trust Colleen completely with my own dog (of whom I'm very protective) and am confident that she would make a great sitter for any dog!

Colleen (A.K.A. "Ween") was my coworker at Sniff Dog Hotel in northwest Portland from September 2014-September 2015. She is great with dogs of all breeds and temperaments, which is especially noticeable with high energy, strong willed, or rambunctious dogs. She has a good eye for emotional cues with dogs, and makes even chronic stress-cases comfortable within the potentially overwhelming daycare environment. Given that she can manage this in a 20-30 dog setting, booking her for one-on-one dog sitting should be a no-brainer!

Colleen was an amazing dog sitter for my precious Ralphie! She was kind, punctual and even made Ralphie some homemade treats!!! I was so nervous leaving Ralphie to go to burning man for the first time. He has anxiety issues (and so do I lol :P) Regardless, she was fantastic! Five stars forever!!!
