Caring for Pets Like They’re My Own
Hi, I’m Colleen! 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud pet mom to three very spoiled fur babies: Teddy, my Chihuahua and the absolute light of my life; Hammy, my big, lovable orange tomcat; and Princess Diana, my beautiful calico queen. ❤️ My love for animals goes beyond my own pets. I previously volunteered at Second Chance Animal Shelter, where I cared for both dogs and cats. I helped with feeding and bathing, spent time working on basic training, and—of course—did plenty of playing and giving them the attention they deserved. It was such a rewarding experience and taught me just how different every animal’s personality and needs can be. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. When they’re in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. Whether your pup needs a good walk and some playtime, your cat wants some company and cuddles, or your pet simply needs someone patient and attentive while you’re away, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family—and probably spoil them a little, too. 🐶🐱💕 I’d love the chance to meet your furry family!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m unfortunately unable to offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in their own home through drop-in visits and walks. I’ll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of love and attention. I know pets feel most comfortable in familiar surroundings, so my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Colleen is exceptionally good with animals, especially dogs. I have personally seen Colleen calm unruly dogs that give other people fits. Her demeanor, strength, and mastery over tone makes her a great fit to walk any kind of dog. She bonds quickly with animals and truly enjoys their personalities, quirks, and idiosyncrasies. I would trust her with the care of any of my animals.
Colleen is a kind, fun, and gentle soul. She is a fitness instructor and walking enthusiast. She is an animal lover and cat mama who has tons of experience with pet sitting and babysitting, so she knows how to take care of animals with love, safety, and open communication as top priority.
