Tamaskan Mom!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I have two active Tamaskan dogs! They have kept me busy the last 10 years! I have experience with walking both large dogs at the same time and the additional experience of dealing with one dog that isn’t great at passing other dogs on a leash/etc. I’m a teacher so I’m free Friday evenings 5:00-11:00pm and on weekends. My availability will open up more in the summer. Please reach out to see if I might be able to do your dog walks or dog drop in visits!
Reviews
We're a repeat family! What more can we say!
Always a 5 star stay with Colleen and Ryan!! Our dog loves his time with them. They are our go to dog sitter when we have to go away. Thanks for opening up your home to him and loving him like one of your own! Woof, woof!
Colleen has watched our black lab Riley a few times and each time has been a great experience. Riley has loved staying there and always comes back happy and exhausted (which is great!). Very flexible with pickup and drop-off which makes it really easy. Highly recommend!
We have never left our dog before. To say the least we were nervous and Blazz is naturally a nervous dog. However, he wasn't with Colleen, she was absolutely wonderful. Blazz had a great time. She kept us posted with pictures and details of his stay. I would highly recommend Colleen.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m keen on following directions, reliable, and trust worthy. My own dogs haven’t ever had to take medicine but I’m a fast learner and can follow directions to administer medicine. I like to update clients with pictures of their dogs with a report of how they did.

How they walk on a leash, how they pass other dogs on leash, things that make them uncomfortable, things they like to do on drop in visits, how medicine is to be administered.
A typical day
With having two big dogs of my own I’m used to taking them on long walks, playing in the house with them on rainy days, or lounging in the backyard or deck in the sunshine with dogs that want to be lazy. Whatever your dog likes to do during drop in visits I can do.
