Dogs are awesome!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of and taken in different kinds of dogs over the past 25 years. Our last four dogs were rescue dogs, some with medical needs. Currently my two dogs are laid back lab mixes that tend to get along with any other dog. I also often look after my three “grand dogs.”

Colleen is a 5 star host! Our 2 dogs , Lucy and Hazel were well cared for, she was in touch through out both days and her big fenced in back yard is awesome. Home is not far from Dewey, Rehobath and Lewes beaches. Colleen’s two dogs were friendly and all the dogs played!

Colleen and her dogs Sunny and Coco make our dog feel right at home! She has a large yard, welcoming home, and communicates daily on Rover. We feel lucky we have found Colleen and look forward to having Lucy stay with her again soon.

Colleen is a very responsible and nice. She sent us pictures of Lucy during her weekend visit with Colleen. I would definitely recommend Colleen to anyone.

Colleen was wonderful with my boy, Quaker. She sent lots of photos and videos and let me know how he was doing.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large backyard with a five-foot fence and shade trees for the pooches to run around, play and relax. I also have an in-ground pool (concrete chlorine) which the dogs are welcome to swim in or just to stand on the steps to cool off during the summer. We have an expansive downstairs for the pups to relax, play, and snooze in.

Information Colleen M. would like to know about your pet

If you would like me to feed your dog, have specific snacks for it, or need me to administer medication ( pill, topical, or non-needle syringe), please have food bagged and labeled with instructions. If possible, medications should be in their original container with instructions on the label. I give treats for good behavior. Let me know if you have any concerns about food or treats (such as food allergies). I have bowls for the dogs. For boarding, I can provide clean bedding or you can bring your pet’s bed. If you’d like to include a special toy, please keep in mind it might get some wear and tear from all the dogs. I only sit one dog at a time. I accept only spayed and neutered dogs. Your dog must be social. I do not accept pit bulls, pit bull mixes, or aggressive dogs. Your dog must be up to date on shots and have a flea and tick preventative. I would prefer a Meet and Greet first because I have two dogs at home and I also foster dogs.

A typical day

I have indoor and outdoor dog toys available. When the pool is open, the dogs can swim or just cool off. If weather permits and you have included your dog’s harness, we can go for a walk.
