Pet care experience
I sincerely enjoy my time I spend with my dog, or others that I care for. I've had my own dogs for almost 20 years, and before that, I've always cared for family members' dogs when I could! Daily long hikes out on the trail, playing fetch in the yard, and chilling with them on the couch are definitely my favorites parts of my day. I work from home, I have a pretty flexible schedule, and love getting outside, which makes dog care easy, and stress free. Your pup will get at least a 3-5 mile walk on a trail each day. Unless of course he or she is older, I will cater their walks to their specific needs. Your dog will get lots of one-on-one attention, and tons of TLC. Having dogs, I know it can be stressful finding the right caretaker for a beloved pet, and I would want you to know that I would care for your dog as if he/she were my own. :)
Reviews
My dog was well cared for and exercised well by Colleen for my quick trip. He is a youngster and needs the exercise so was so happy she would take her dog guests out for a hike.
Colleen was a fantastic dog sitter for a week!
Colleen is simply the best! Continual check-ins, a great yard and true compassion for her guests. It’s clear she is a life-long dog lover and one feels like your pet is simply staying with a family member.
Colleen is the best - responsive, responsible and a true dog lover. I worried my dog wouldn't want to come home!

Information Colleen Q. would like to know about your pet
I'd to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs, as I have a 2 year old border collie/cattle dog mix, who is sweet and playful, and a bit timid around overly rambunctious dogs. Of course I'd also like to cover other safety factors such as: is your dog safe to be off leash, does he/she have any allergies to foods/treats, are there any other precautions or concerns around the safety of caring for or having your dog out and about. I'd also like to know anything about feeding routines, and other likes/dislikes that your dog may have, so he/she may have the most comfortable stay.
A typical day
I love hiking daily on the many trails around Mill Valley, and occasional trips to the beach are a definite possibility if your dog is into that.
