Pets

Trustworthy, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

We offer a safe, fully fenced yard where your pup can play and explore freely. I work from home so your furry friend will get plenty of attention, companionship, and love—just like our own dog, Lily! She’s a big love bug who adores all (big and small) dogs and would love a new friend. We go on multiple walks daily to keep everyone happy and active. We’re also experienced in caring for senior dogs and can administer medication if needed. While we do have a cat, we can easily keep them separated if necessary. Your pet isn’t just a guest—they’re family!

Colleen was wonderful! She checked in on our 2 kitties while we were out of the country, and we arrived home to happy, content, well fed cats! She also stopped by about a week prior to our trip to let us walk her through everything! And she took wonderful photos :) would highly recommend and would love to book with her again! Bonus: she didn’t judge our chaotic kid/baby house.

Colleen took amazing care of our active Aussie! Lily (Colleen’s pup) is a wonderful friendly dog that Maxie loved hanging out with all weekend. Maxie might be experiencing some Lily withdrawal being home 😂 Thank you so much Colleen for taking excellent care of our Maxie! Would highly recommend!
