Dogs are people too!
Pet care experience
I'm from a long line of animal-lovers and have had dogs in my family all my life. Not only do I have experience with many different breeds and personalities in the past few years of professional dog sitting and caretaking I've done, I also understand the importance of pouring heart and soul into pet care. I am well versed in dog behavior patterns, though I also believe strongly in getting to know a dog on an individual basis to adapt to their personality for the most positive interactions possible. As my family and I like to say, "dogs are people too!"
Reviews
Colleen was great with Sandy! Thank you so much ?
Very grateful for Colleen. She is awesome. Sorry that she will be moving to a new area. We have used her before and would certainly use her again.
Outstanding job by Colleen! I had nothing to worry about and the pets love her!
Colleene did a great job! It made me feel good that she was able to feed/walk my dog and keep my home safe.

I strongly believe in adapting to your pets' schedules and individual needs. I'll be asking you for as much detail about your pet as possible in order to provide them with the comfort of their usual routine while you are away!
Information Colleen M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about your dog's interactions with other animals and with humans in general. Does your dog respond to verbal commands from others? If so, what positive reinforcement method do you use when your dog obeys a given command (treats, verbal praise, physical affection). If you have a cat or other animal that needs care in your home in addition to your dog, that can be arranged as well!
A typical day
We can go to whatever dog park or neighborhood area that they usually go. If you want them to have a little adventure, we may try hiking at some of the dog-friendly nature parks in the area.
