Safety, trust & environment

I can visit your home to care for your pets and will always send a message and photo when I’ve visited. I always account for pets as I’m leaving, since I understand how quickly some pets can slip out.

Information Colleen M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets has any quirks/behaviors/habits that you think I should be aware of. Any complications with food, guests, or other animals would be helpful for me to know.

A typical day

I want your pets to have fun when you leave them in my care! If your cat has a favorite toy (mine will only play with one particular mouse toy), I'll be sure to get some playtime in. I'll make sure to pet all of the cats who like that before leaving for the day. When I leave my cat behind with a sitter, one of my biggest concerns is that he won't have someone to sit with him for a few minutes and give him some love. You can rest assured that I'll be that sitter for your pet!

Pet care experience

I am a current cat owner and grew up with a 100-pound dog! I love cats and dogs and understand how important it is to know you are leaving your pet in good hands. I’m friendly, communicative, and will take the best care of your pet!

As always Colleen did a great job looking after Duquesa. She kept our cat clean, health and happy. Thanks so much for everything!

As a repeat client of Colleen’s I can say that she cares so much about the pets she cares for! She is always on time and spends quality time with my 16 year old cat, who loves her. Thanks so much Colleen!

This is the second time I have used Coleen to take care of my cat Nicholas and could not be more pleased. Nick is so comfortable with Coleen and seems to really enjoy her visits. Will rebook her in the future and would recommend her services to others

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
