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.
