I love dogs and love walking them!

Pet care experience

My love of dogs comes growing up with two successive Airedale terriers - both had tons of energy. My family's dogs have been such a comforting and positive presence in my life. I love the ritual of caring for and walking dogs; dogs give me so much joy. As someone who aspire to own a dog in the future, I will love and care for your dog like it is my own!

I would highly recommend Colleen as a pet sitter! Colleen has taken care of our puppy on many occasions while we were away. Our dog is clearly very happy and well looked after when Colleen is with him. Colleen is energetic and keen to walk and play with our dog and makes sure she follows his training regime. Colleen takes the time to get to know the dog and his personality traits. Colleen is a responsible and loving pet caregiver and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her!

Colleen M. has cared for my dog Utah on a number of occasions. She has both taken him for walks and has looked after him at my house when I was out of town. She took great care of him. She is gentle, attentive and very responsible. Her love for animals is very obvious. I highly recommend her to care for anyone's pet!

Colleen cared for our energetic fox terrier for two weeks while we were on vacation. She was a caring dog-sitter who was concerned for our dog when she missed us and had little appetite. She went out of her way to lower our dog's anxiety by taking her on long walks and runs. We returned to a healthy pet and a well-cared for home since she stayed in our home with our dog. I would highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for some extra care or exercise for their dog.
