Pet care experience

Experienced Dog Care

Hi! I’m a dependable dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, crate routines, basic medication administration, and giving extra patience and attention to dogs with specific needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm companion, I provide loving and reliable care tailored to their routine. I treat every dog like family and work hard to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is in good hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have 15 acres that your pup and I can explore. Mostly wooded, and does have a small creek. Your pup will get the opportunity to relax and enjoy the ability to either Lounge in the grass in the backyard or go for a walk through the woods.

I cannot recommend Colleen highly enough. As a dedicated educator who works with students with special needs, she possesses an extraordinary level of patience, empathy, and attention to detail. Managing her own diverse group of pets—including a horse, chickens, and a dog—requires a high level of responsibility and specialized knowledge. She understands that every animal has unique needs and requires a tailored approach. Colleen is also a mother of 2 children, so she is used to juggling multiple responsibilities at home and work.

I cannot recommend Colleen enough as a pet caregiver. As a mom and a lifelong pet owner, she has a natural 'caregiver' instinct that makes her both reliable and deeply compassionate. Colleen is a true animal lover with a wealth of experience caring for all types of pets. From her own dogs and cat to her backyard chickens, she understands the unique needs and personalities of different animals. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and treats every pet with the same love and care she gives her own. I trust my own dogs with her implicitly because I know she prioritizes their safety and happiness above everything else. She is exactly the kind of person you want looking after your furry family members. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dogs!
