Pet care experience
I loved dogs so much as a child that I remember asking my grandma’s neighbors in Fort Lauderdale, FL if I could walk their dogs. They gladly agreed! They chose to pay my sister and I but I would have done it for free (which was good because our mom wouldn’t let us accept the money! 😅)! It combines two of my passions- exercise and dogs! I wanted a dog SO BAD that I would save the ads in the newspaper featuring dogs for sale all the way until I was 12, when my parents finally agreed to let me get a dog. We went to a farm to get him and the day we went there, his mom had had moved the litter of pups to a hollowed out log in the woods! It’s as if she knew what was happening! We almost had to give up the idea of leaving with a puppy. But finally we found them—-hoooray!! I had gone there with the intention of getting a male dog and this one puppy kissed me. It turns out he was the only male in the whole litter! I took a very short video of him (my camera died) and cherished it for weeks until somehow it deleted from overuse (technology wasn’t so good back then). Good thing soon they were old enough to go to new homes. This was my first dog—Eddie (a Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd/Komondor mix)!! He and my sister’s first dog Jasmine had my second dog Grizzly (born in 2009, my JR yr of HS), who became the beloved family dog—“my big ‘ole boy!” (He’s the big dog featured in the pictures above)😍🥹🙏. He was such a loving dog. He always had to be holding hands or resting his big hand on me if he was near, which he always wanted to be near. He became my longtime best friend. Growing up on a farm & being a foster dog mom with Unleashed Pet Rescue, I’ve worked with puppies to senior dogs who need medical care, tiny dogs, huge dogs, and many other pets (goats, rabbits, horses, cows, chickens, geese, etc)! I love animals so my heart is to take really good of care of your sweet fur or feather babies. I look forward to meeting them and you. 😊
Reviews
Colleen was wonderful. She let us know how they were doing and sent pics! The dogs were well loved and taken care of.
Colleen is so good about working with our schedule. Our pups love going to see her! 🐶 🐾
Colleen spoiled our girls while we were out of town. Thanks for taking such good care of them!
Colleen kept our dog for 12 nights while I was on my honeymoon. She did a great job of keeping me updated, sending pictures and videos. She met all the needs that we had for Baylor and was so sweet with him. When he picked up our pup, you could tell he loved being there and had a great time.

We have a fenced yard and two older dogs and a puppy to keep yours company. The older ones are more reclusive in their older years but our puppy is very playful and respectful of other dog’s boundaries.

Information Colleen Q. would like to know about your pet
My philosophy is the more you can let me know about your pet ahead of time, the better I can care for them. I also appreciate knowing what your expectations are for my care of them so that I can strive to meet your expectations! ☺️
A typical day
My mom told me when I was young that I should be a vet because I’ve always loved animals. I love to pet, brush, walk, and walk dogs & cats (cats aren’t very walkable but I’ve seen it done before)! We have great walking trails near our house and a nice dog park as well so we try to walk your dog often when boarding with us.

When I lived up in KC, I fostered and adopted two puppies. Now my husband and I have two sweet, well-behaved dogs who are some of our bestest friends. Not only are pets a daily part of our lives, but they are part of the family to everyone in our close circle. You can rest easy when your pets are with us because I care very much for animals and I see to it that they are treated very well, as does my husband. We will take care of your pets with as much care as we do ours. I work at home and my work time is very flexible so I’ll have plenty of time to pet, play with, walk, and give your pets ample potty breaks. Taking care of your babies IS my job and I take it very seriously. 🙌🦮🐾 We are careful to keep our doors locked 🔒 and I supervise the dogs when they are in our backyard. Spending half my life in the city, this comes naturally for me! We keep our dogs flea and tick free. All animals will be checked for these little critters before boarding. We like to make sure our home is a safe, pest-free place for animals and we so appreciate your help with this.🙏 EXTRA SERVICES: I will clip your pets nails (I have experience with dogs, cats, & rabbits), groom them, and bathe them for a small fee if you request this! I’m trying to get practice in grooming dogs so it helps me gain experience and saves you a trip to the groomer! 💦🚿🛁 Bonus: We will give your dog filtered water while they are in our care. This is what we give our dogs so your dogs will be given the same! ☺️💧
