Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun & caring. Love a walking buddy
It's love being able to make sure pups are loved, happy, and kept on routine when their parents are away. I have had sitting experience with a wide variety of dogs: puppies, big dogs, multiple dogs, dogs with cat siblings, and dogs with separation anxiety -- and love them all. I understand each dog has their special ways and am very adaptable with their needs/schedule. I love walking around dc and usually walk 5+ miles a day--which is always better with a dog walking buddy. Happy to go to a dog park if they love other dogs, or just go for a long walk to explore. I work regular hours during the week but am available for weekends & evenings. I watched my roommates dog regularly over the past three years but we sadly had to put her down due to bone cancer. Looking forward to gaining some new walking buddies.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have two dogs of my own at home with their own special personality, so I am comfortable adjusting to meet the needs of your dog and give them the most attentive care while their favorite human is away.
Ratings and reviews
Colleen is an A+ dog pal. Our pup was relaxed and happy when we gotten him back after a weekend away. Highly recommend Colleen.
Roscoe loved Colleen and was sad to leave her! She was super conscientious and communicative, so we loved her too!
Colleen took really great care of my dog. She took him to the dog park and sent some great pictures!
Colleen deftly handled my pup with seperation anxiety and my pup tried to follow her when she left :)
Coleen was great! It was nice to leave town and have peace of mind that Otis was in good hands!
Colleen watched my dog Thor when she lived in Ohio. She was very good with Thor and Thor enjoyed when she would come over to take care of him. She would take him on walks, or if it was too cold or wet, she would play at the house to give him some exercise and spend some time with him. I recommend Colleen to others who have a dog and need a sitter or walker.
