Fun and Reliable Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs my whole life with my family dog currently being 11 years old! I have a golden retriever lab mix and experience at a humane society so I have worked with all shapes and sizes of dogs. At the Humane Society of West Michigan, I cared for dogs for over three years by walking with them and socializing them with other dogs and people. I love working with dogs and would love to connect more with you to help out yours! I also grew up with cats in my house and would love to watch them as well:)
Reviews
Colleen was great with our two doggos! She was consistent and reliable. It was great knowing our dogs were getting exercise when we couldn’t run home on lunch! Even on rainy days she would still let them out and give them indoor play time!
Colleen has watched my dog multiple times, and has been amazing every time! He is an anxious dog, and was also recovering from surgery and under restrictions. Colleen is an excellent caretaker and completely trustworthy. She has also been accommodating when I have needed a sitter at the last minute. I highly recommend her!
Colleen was great! She watched my large (80lb) rescue dog and my cat for the weekend and they both loved her! My pup can be a handful, but she was great with him. She was very responsive and sent photo updates throughout the weekend. I will absolutely book with Colleen again!
Colleen was great with our dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
At your home I can walk your dog and keep them company during overnight stays. For dog walking I can take your dogs to parks and on long walks. I also love cats and am happy to keep them company if needed!
Information Colleen R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your dog has any issues walking so I can be prepared before I take them out (ex: pulling, not a fan of other dogs, etc.). For overnight stays, please let me know if your dog or cat has any routines they are accustomed to like treats and playing so that I can keep them as comfortable as possible during my stay.
A typical day
I love to go to new parks in Austin and keep your dog stimulated in new environments! I also love walking in neighborhoods and understand when dogs like to have a regular course that they take daily :)
