Stay active- go on adventures

Pet care experience

I have had a dog since I was 4 years old. Currently, I have 2 German Shepherd mixes. I had 2 labs and a puggle in the past. I had the responsibility of giving my puggle 2 insulin shots a day for his diabetes. I have years of experience with dog sitting and staying over neighbors houses. I also have helped with watching my neighbors dog sitting business when in need. I am currently working in a research lab at Mass General and looking for some dogs to enjoy the summer with! Going on hikes and adventures with my dog is what I love to do and will love to do it with yours! I love animals and all size dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends!

Colleen responded immediately. We had an urgent need for a house/dog sitter for 9 days with only 24 hours notice. She even made time to come over and meet out pets/see the house the same day. Our pets were well cared for, she even watered our plants and took in the mail. We got updates and photos while we were away, which were very appreciated.

Colleen is wonderful! My dogs love her . I have a blind special needs dog. She was great with him. My other 2 bulldogs acted like they have known her forever. She seems very comfortable with all dogs and is very responsive to their needs.

Colleen is a responsible young adult with a real love for animals. She is trustworthy and honest. I would trust her any day with my own dog.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home and dog like they are mine! Every pup will get all the attention I can give and every home will look like I was never there when I leave! I am also happy to bring in packages and mail of any house I am staying at!

Information Colleen P. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any allergies or any digestive issues to certain foods. Also, my dog has diabetes so it important to know if your dog has anything along those lines. I love all types of dogs and am really comfortable with big dogs. I would also need to know how your dog reacts to other dogs and other people and especially kids.

A typical day

I love to take my dogs on hikes on blue hills and biking with them. There are plenty of nature reserves around the area and I love exploring them with my dogs. At night nothing beats cuddling on the couch with my pups and watching a good movie! I hope to continue to explore with your dogs!
