I am a cat and a dog person

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Colleen. I have been a pet parent to both cats and a dog since I was very young. I have experience house sitting as well as walking dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages.

Colleen watched our dog while we went away for the week. She was beyond amazing- excellent communication, attention to detail & overall such a pleasure to work with, and, of course our dog loved her. I would definitely highly recommend her to anyone.

Colleen is by far the best sitter I have hired via rover 🙂. She gave me regular updates, was great with the dogs.

Our regular sitter cancelled last minute and we were really worried we would need to cancel our trip BUT Colleen is amazing! She met us a few days before we left and our 2 Poodle girls took to her right away! It has been a while since we've left the girls and i was really nervous but after meeting colleen and seeing her interact with the girls I felt confident leaving them. We were gone for 6 days and Colleen stayed at the house with the girl and gave us great updates each day. Our oldest girl is coming up on 11 so she needed some medication while we were gone and colleen handled it like a pro. I cannot say enough good things about colleen so if you need a sitter and she is available, book her! You and your pups will be glad! We'll be booking with Colleen again soon!

Colleen looked after our dog and cat whilst we attended a wedding on the East Coast. It was our first time having a sitter stay at the house & we could not have been more pleased. From our initial chat, one could tell Colleen has a lot of experience with all sorts of dogs. She radiates enthusiasm and energy. We have a Shiba Inu who loves attention, playing & sniffing everything! Colleen sent us updates and photos which was great as we all missed our pets. Curtis, the cat was more elusive, but that is his way. He ate his food and found somewhere quiet to sleep away from the boisterous dog. The house was left in tip-top condition. She was proactive in putting garbage out & leaving everything tidy & clean. We would definitely use Colleen again and recommend her without hesitation.

I ask clients for some house rules and pet care before beginning work but my rule of thumb is to leave it how I found it.

Information Colleen O. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences! I just need to know any special needs your pet may have. This could mean special medications, personality quirks, etc. Anything that you feel I should know to help make your animal as comfortable as possible while you're away!

A typical day

I am a runner, so if your dog is too, GREAT! If not, thats okay too. Regardless, I love spending time outside whether its just walking around or throwing a ball I will make sure your dog gets the attention it needs!
