Highlights
Pet care experience
1 on 1 Love & Care for your Pets
We only watch 1 families dog(s)/pets in our home at a time. No other pets are present when yours is here, so your pet(s) gets all the attention and you don’t have to worry about other animals. Love to go on a nice walk, but we don’t go to dog parks. We prefer to walk around, exploring & letting the dogs check things out. Each night between 8-10pm, during boarding or house sitting, I will send you a summery of what happened that day with pictures, so you can feel assured your pup is being properly taken care of and protected and loved on. My Husband and I work as a team to provide the best care possible! . Doggy Daycare hours are anytime between 6:30am-6:30pm. If you need longer than that, you will need to book a boarding day instead after we have agreed to the additional hours.

Ratings and reviews
Colleen did an amazing job watching Rory, we will definitely be using her again. Rory got to play in the backyard, we got pictures and updates every day, and I could tell from the pics how nice of a time Rory was having. I’ve rarely been so comfortable and not worrying about her. 100% recommend Colleen.
Colleen was a perfect fit for us and our pups! She was super communicative during our entire trip and I felt like our dogs were getting great care and attention! I appreciated the nightly updates and pictures too. We will definitely be using Colleen again!
Colleen and her husband Paul are so attentive and caring. My little dog had a great time with them. They have dog beds, comfy blankets and so much more. My dog loved the backyard and laying in the sun! Looking forward to next time! Thanks so much!
Colleen asked all the right questions about my springer spaniel and cat from the start, which made me feel really comfortable leaving them with her. It was just daycare, but they were clearly well looked after and settled in quickly. She was caring, attentive, and great with them. Would definitely recommend!
Leo absolutely loves Colleen and Paul. She has become an extension of our family and we couldn't ask for a better sitter. She is very observant to Leo's moods and often comical behavior. She maintains his schedules and he's never shown any distress in adapting to her home environment. She provides the right balance of daily updates so we never worry how's he doing. I highly recommend Colleen to care for your fur baby.!
Colleen was amazing with our dog Cassie! This was our first time having some watch her and Colleen made us feel completely at ease! She was very respectful of our rules for Cassie and made sure to give us updates every evening as well. We were able to relax knowing our pup was in such good hands! Would definitely book with Colleen again.

Schedule
I do work from home and I have lots of free time so I am able to take breaks and hang out with your pet(s).

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For ALL new clients, regardless of services wanted, we will ALWAYS ask for a meet and greet at a local park, prior to watching your dog. This assures we are a good fit and your pup(s) will enjoy being with me and my Husband. . Drop off and pickup rates are within a 10 mile radius of my home. If you are over 10 miles, I will modify to reflect the additional mileage and/tolls.
A typical day
I love to play with all dogs whether it’s fetch or taking them on a walk in the neighborhood or a local park to smell all the cool scents and check out the new sights or a fun hike.

- Please print out or write out specific information and instructions for us (and all Sitters) on the care of your pet(s) and home (For house sitting clients). It is very helpful!! Let me know your dog’s schedule. If they have certain potty times and what time they eat so we can keep them on their schedule, making them feel more secure. Also, Please let us know if your dog has any behavioral issues that I should know about, or what they do not like and what I should avoid. Lastly, let me know what your dog likes to do so we can incorporate that into our time together.
