Highlights
Pet care experience
Will work for doggy kisses!
Hello! My name is Colleen, and I have raised and cared for dogs my entire life. I have also fostered dogs and cared for family and friends pets. I am looking to share my love and home to dogs who need companionship while you are working, on vacation or just too busy. Your pet will be treated like a member of the family during their stay providing them with the attention they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
Extremely satisfied with our babies care! The whole family loved her as their own. Never had any issues or concerns very open and communicative! Definitely would recommend and she will definitely be back! ♥️
Very Nice people. Sent us pictures and videos couple times a day.
Colleen is trustworthy and reliable, I wouldn’t trust just anyone with my 5 year old Boxer, Kevin and 2 year old mix, Lucy. Best part, they LOVE her!!! Makes leaving them a little easier knowing I have Colleen to take such good care of them while I’m away! She keeps me updated on their day, even with photos!
If you're like my wife and I, our pups are our family and we worry about them. We felt completely comfortable when we left both of our pups with Colleen and her family. We received a few pics a day and they always looked right at home. We feel very confident referring her to all of our family and friends.
I am so grateful for the wonderful care my pups received from Colleen. From the very first meet-and-greet, I could tell she was not only professional but also genuinely passionate about animals. She went above and beyond to ensure my pets were comfortable and happy during my time away. Colleen sent daily updates with photos and videos, which made me feel so at ease. She took the time to stick to my pet's routines, and I could tell my fur babies were well-loved and treated like family. I appreciate the little extras which made a huge difference. It's clear that Colleen has a true gift for caring for animals, and I would not hesitate to trust her with my babies again. Highly recommend!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a large 6’ vinyl fenced in yard and a happy home. We provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, complete with the company of our own friendly dog. We only take one dog at a time, to help focus on individualized care. We can create a customized routine for every pet based on their specific needs and preferences provided by you.
Pets
A typical day
We ensure each dog will get the love and attention it needs during their time with us. They will have plenty of time outside if they enjoy walks, running around our yard, lying on the couch, or staring out the front door and being on watch. We will provide regular, detailed updates and photos and discuss any concerns in real-time.

- NEW CLIENTS: Upon booking, I will ask to schedule meet and greet at my home so we can discuss your dog, you can meet our dog, Zoey and see if our home is a good fit and the dogs are friendly with one another. Zoey is very excited to meet new friends! If all seems like ok, I would suggest you book a single day (not overnight), so we can both be reassured that your pup will be comfortable staying with us. It is helpful to know if our dog has any of the following: - Aggression History: Has your pet ever bitten or scratched anyone (human or animal)? - Fears/Triggers: Is your dog afraid of thunderstorms, vacuums, etc.)? - House Manners: Any good or bad behaviors, commands? - House Trained: Is your dog house trained? Do they use a pad? - Separation Anxiety: How long can your dog be left alone? - Socialization: How does your dog act with children, strangers, other dogs? - Walking Behavior: Does your dog pull on the leash? Try to chase any critters?
