Long time dog owner and sitter.

Pet care experience

Hello there! Located in Brighton Center, I am a life long dog owner and also a pet sitter with over 15 years experience. I am happy to do drop in visits and make sure your pup gets a potty break and some exercise while you’re out. I am also able to board small dogs over the weekends. I will typically only board one dog at a time and dogs 25 lbs and under due to the size of my apartment. I have a tabby cat, Fiona and a toy poodle Gigi, who are very friendly and affectionate. My neighborhood is quiet, with little traffic, and there is a park at the end of my street. I love dogs of all breeds and will love your pup like he or she is my own while I care for them!

Colleen was FANTASTIC with my precious chihuahua, Hazel. Hazel is rather antisocial so I have never felt comfortable leaving her with someone while I travel, but Colleen proved she was up to the task. Hazel was not aggressive or anxious at all. I am so glad I have found someone I can trust as much as I trust Colleen. She truly loves animals and I would recommend her to anyone.

Information Colleen M. would like to know about your pet

Does the dog have any special medical care? Food allergies, medication etc. Typically these are not an issue I just like to know before hand. Any other relevant info: are they afraid of anything? Phrases/commands they understand etc

A typical day

I love walking and running and typically take my dog on hour+ long walks on Saturdays and Sundays. My dog doesn’t care for loud vehicles so I tend to go to parks or Chestnut Hill Reservoir so she can walk without getting spooked. Any dogs that stay with me get to join us on our weekend excursions!
