Trusted Pet Care With Love

If you are looking for a trust worthy, animal loving pet sitter who loves to walk, please give me try! I am a retired, non-smoking, responsible pet sitter with references. When your pet stays with me in my home they will be treated like family with full range of the house. I want them to have the best and safest experience with me. I will take pictures and have my phone on at all times to communicate with you. Please rest easy knowing that I will take great care of your fur baby. I have been lucky enough to have parented two golden retrievers and many cats. Taking care of and walking more than one dog is not a problem! I live in a neighborhood with miles of sidewalks to safely walk dogs plus two large fenced dog parks for off leash fun and excersise. Having fostered pets for a shelter for many years, I am able to administer medications when needed. From young to senior I can handle housebroken pets of all ages with love. Medical records and up to date vaccinations are a must. I look forward to caring for your furry family members!

Colleen is VERY friendly, accommodating and caring ! Our 90 lb Golden has a leg injury but that didn't stop him from running to her when we arrived.

Colleen is the BEST, hands down! You hope, when you leave your dog with a sitter, that they are lovingly cared for and are having fun - Colleen sent daily updates, with pictures/videos of Moose who was CLEARLY loving his time with her!😁 We did a “meet and greet” prior to his first stay with Colleen, and when we went to drop him off for his stay with her, he RAN to her front door!😁 Colleen is so sweet, very organized, active, and welcomes every dog (& family members!) with a warm smile and kind/gentle personality.😊 We are just THRILLED to have found Moose’s new “home away from home”! Truly so thankful for Colleen and can’t say enough great things about her. Simply the best!😊

Doggy Day Care • Jan 28, 2026

From the moment I met Colleen, I knew she would be a great pet sitter because my dogs immediately loved her!! I have a 2 year old Bernedoodle and 5 year old Bernise Mountain dog and Colleen welcomed them into her home like they were old friends! We happened to run into her while on a walk after we met and my dogs were so excited to see her. That told me everything I needed to know! I am one of those pet parents that is hesitant to leave my dogs with other people, but I feel so blessed to have found Colleen. I know I have found a true pet lover to watch my dogs if I must be away, and that gives me true peace of mind!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog friendly home and live in a dog friendly neighborhood with two large dog parks and miles of sidewalks for safe excursions. Each dog park has separate areas for small and large dogs. Your pet's excersise schedule and diet will be followed!

We will have lots of fun in my neighborhood checking out all the new smells and playing at the dog park. My patio and back yard is a dog favorite to be outside and soak up the sunbeams. Couch privileges inside is always available.
