Safety, trust & environment

I take care of your pet like it’s my own. I’ve had plenty of experience both in a veterinary hospital and as a pet sitter, so your pets are in good hands :)

Information Colleen R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any quirks! I’m more than willing to accommodate to animals who may have some habits that turn other pet sitters away, the more I know the better I can fit my services around them.

A typical day

I try and make the experience enjoyable for the pet, whether they love long walks or sitting on the couch! I want to give the pet the consistency and structure of still being at home while doing things they might not usually get to do, such as car rides, play time, or whatever gets them excited!!

Pet care experience

I have worked at a veterinary hospital for 7years and I have run my own petsitting on the side for 4 years. I am experienced with all kinds of animals (exotics, farm animals, seniors, pets with behavioral quirks etc) I am able to administer medication and can handle pets with more care requirements than usual.

She was fantastic! We have 2 cats and 2 dogs. She pet sat at our house when I needed to fly to Florida last minute for a family emergency. Colleen, sent us updates with pictures. Gave me such a peace of mind while gone to know my fur babies were in good hands!

Colleen was great with our cats, including one that needed medication. She is communicative, reliable, and always on time.

Colleen was a wonderful sitter of my two dogs. She sent several updates and pictures and made sure to comfort them during two harsh thunderstorms. I came home to two very happy puppies. I would definitely hire her again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
