Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have always had a love for animals and I am excited to offer my services to pet owners in need of reliable and trustworthy care for their furry friends. As a pet sitter, I understand that each pet has unique needs and preferences. I am committed to providing personalized care and attention to ensure that your pet feels comfortable and loved while you are away. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I am here to provide the care and companionship your pet deserves. I have experience working with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, farm animals and small mammals. I am comfortable administering medication, following specific dietary requirements, and providing any other special care instructions your pet may need. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

Colleen was absolutely fantastic! She was so kind and understanding, even accommodating me when I accidentally booked the wrong day at first (sorry again!). She sent me some super cute pics of my pup and I could tell that my girl was at ease in her care. I’m super thankful to have found such a great sitter so close to my home and plan to use her again in the future!

Colleen was great caring for our cat, Buffy. She was quick to respond when I asked to book her, and during her visits, she followed all of our requests re: the mail, the litter box, etc., and we returned to a happy cat and everything nicely taken care of.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or my client's home, I prioritize their well-being and strive to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for them. I ensure that their basic needs are met, such as providing fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a clean living space. I also make sure to give them plenty of love, attention, and affection to help them feel secure and happy. I follow any specific care instructions provided by the pet owner, such as administering medication or adhering to a specific feeding schedule. Additionally, I am attentive to their behavior and any signs of distress or discomfort, and I take appropriate action to address their needs. I believe in building trust and a strong bond with the pets in my care, and I am committed to providing them with the best possible care and companionship.
