Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm & Trusting, tail wags & purrs.
I have had the good fortune of sharing my home with dogs & cats throughout my life. I have geriatric care experience with senior cats & dogs and have administered medication as well. I have fostered cats from the Meow Foundation, and have successfully foster failed, by falling in love with and adopting a wonderful girl that I have named Princess.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Colleen was amazing with Timmy. I had a day-long appointment and she kept him company, took him out often, and kept me updated throughout the day. I highly recommend her!
Absolutely wonderful experience! She watched all four of my cats at her home from 8:30 AM to 5 PM, and I couldn’t have been happier with how well they were cared for. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the day. She sent me lots of photos and even asked before giving them treats, which I really appreciated. She was absolutely lovely with all four of my cats, and they were relaxed and happy the entire time. Even my very nervous kitty settled in surprisingly quickly! My baby kitten unfortunately had an accident on the way there and got poop all over my other cats, and she was incredibly kind and understanding about it. She cleaned them up for me without making a fuss, which I was so grateful for. All four of my cats came home happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time at her place. I would absolutely trust her with my cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and genuinely wonderful with animals! ❤️🐱
I have known Colleen for nearly 20 years, and she is one of the very few people on this earth I trust with my own daughter—not just my dog. She is a lifelong pet lover who has raised both cats and dogs, and she has personally watched over my own home while I’ve been away. She is an exceptionally responsible, kind, and trustworthy person. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets and home while you are away, you could not ask for a better or more reliable guardian. She treats every animal and home with the utmost respect and love. I recommend her without a single hesitation!
Colleen has always been an amazing person and I cant think of anyone else to care for my cat Toothless and my dog Nova. Nova is 12 and on multiple different meds at different times, Colleen has always treated him like her own and made sure his health is her top priority everytime shes sat for me. Toothless is one of those cats that hates everyone but she enjoys when Colleen is around and I think she can sense how good of a human she is. Thank you Colleen for everything you've done for my fur babies! She is the best pet sitter anyone could ask for!!
Colleen is a very caring person who deeply cares about both people and pets. I have known her for many years where she has looked after both my children and my cats, as well as her own cats. She fosters cats occasionally, and is just one of those people who really care. She is also a very responsible person who takes pride in her home and property.

I am very happy to come to your home and stay with your pets where they are most happy in their own home environment.
