Work from home, flexible schedule
Pet care experience
Hey - I have recently moved from Southern California to Washington DC (Columbia heights neighborhood) and am looking to establish some regular clients. I am currently working towards my PhD in animal ecology through the University of California, Irvine, but mainly work from home. This gives me a very flexible schedule and able to do walks during the normal workday. I am often available on short notice. I really love dogs and am happy to play and get exercise. At home I have an adorable 2 year old pug mix who is extremely friendly. If you want, walks and drop-ins can be play time for the two, and I can help you socialize your dog. I am also happy to help work on any tricks or training you are doing.
Reviews
Colleen was very helpful and detail-oriented. She took the time to play with the cats which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend and ask her to take care of my two cats again.
Colleen is great with our dog. Very communicative and easy to work with. She sends us updates and plenty of pictures from their walks. Thanks!
From the pictures we saw, it was another doggy play date. Thanks again for taking great care of our dog.
Glad to say we have found another amazing sitter on here to take care of our dog. Colleen was a pleasure to work with, and our rogue had a fantastic time with her dog miso. Thanks again

Skills
Information Colleen N. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know of any behavioral issues or aggressions the dog may have in order to avoid problems when out on walks or meeting other dogs or people. I do not have a preference for a breed but it is essential that the dog gets along with my own dog and can be left alone with her at times.
A typical day
Depending on the location, I like to take advantage of parks and nature spaces for an enjoyable walk. I am happy to go to the park and play with a ball to tire them out. With your approval, I can bring my dog along too and the dogs can have fun playing and running around together.
