A typical day

I personally love Montrose dog beach when it's warm .I think it's dog paradise! Such a great place for socializing. Also love walking in the woods. And if your likes balls or frizbees that's great fun!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs all my life and it doesn't feel normal to be without. I consider myself quite experienced as I am very patient and soft spoken but also very enthusiastic and think it's important to use a "happy voice "! I have alot of time on hand and like to get out and walk a lot. My home is very suitable for dogs as they can be wherever they want! If they are "cuddlers" they are more than welcome to sleep with me! I treat all dogs as if they're my own and try to go above and beyond to make them happy! I have experience with puppies as well as elderly dogs and dogs with special needs/medications. Overall very excited to meet my next house guest!😊

Colleen was absolutely fantastic—5 stars all the way. She took great care of our dog over 11 days and was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire stay. It was clear she was thoughtful and kind, and we felt completely at ease knowing our pup was in such good hands.

Colleen is a wonderful sitter. We started our dog’s stay with her on the wrong foot as our dog seemed to be suffering from a virus of sorts. But Colleen was extremely caring and understanding, and worked hard to help nurse our pup back to health. We would recommend Colleen to any parents of fur babies.

We were gone for two weeks and Colleen took such good care of Lucy. I actually think Lucy was disappointed to see us when we got home!
