Trustworthy & punctual

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a miliatry spouse looking for extra fur babies to love and care for! I have been loving, caring and raising dogs for 10 years. I trained my own 3 dogs, and have worked at various zoos and animal hospitals. I’m highly active for hyper dogs who need to run but also I love the seniors who just want some cuddles and extra gentle care. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting. I’ve worked with all breeds including extra large breeds such as Bernese mountain dogs and Great Danes, as well as having attended dog behavorial training classes along with pet first aid. I am also available for cat sittings and open to discussions of any other animals/services you might need. I look forward meeting you and your pup! I do daily walks Monday through Friday. I’m available for boardings, sittings, and drop in visits during the week and weekends. Meet and greets are best in the mornings or late afternoon. I treat every pet as if they were my own with lots of love and play time. Boarding at my home, outside time is supervised and we feed separately. I try my best to keep your pets schedule as normal as possible, but life happens sometimes. I will always keep owners updated on how their fur babies are doing.

Colleen was great with Daisy! She was on time and provided our dog with the appropriate attention. Trouble shooted with bad weather and helped clean our dog’s paws before going back into the house after rainy/muddy conditions. Very reliable and trustworthy.

I have worked with Coleen several times over the past year and she is always so good with my pet and a real professional. 10/10 would recommend her as a pet sitter.
