Home full-time. Med fenced yard

Pet care experience

I'm a former vet tech/kennel attendant. I do work from home so I would be happy to care for your pet. My 8yr old son is also on summer break and will be coming with me on walks and housesitting services. A bit about me ... I grew up on a horse ranch with many animals to care for. I'm home full-time and also a doggy mommy to 4 awesome dogs & 3 cats. I'm good at house training, basic commands and communication. I enjoy taking my dogs out for long or short walks. Providing food and water, administering medication, providing companionship, weight-loss and following owner instructions. Provide puppy potty, puppy pad and kennel training. Making sure that the dogs are well maintained and loved when I am in care of them. Exercise, socializing and play time are incorporated into the dogs everyday schedule. Basic dog grooming (cutting nails, bathing, etc.) I am very friendly, patient and responsible.

Colleen took on my daughters 2 puppies last minute and took such good care of them. This was my daughters first time leaving them and although she was nervous, Colleen made us feel so comfortable. She constantly sent us updates and tons of pictures. We will for sure be using Colleen again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a fenced yard so if your pet had to come to my home in an emergency they would be safe. I like to bring my own leash on walks as well as use yours because mishaps do happen and I would rather be safer than sorry.

A typical day

I live in the UNM and CNM area. Very close to the Sunport International Airport and Kirtland Air Force Base. Im also 10 minutes away from the Albuquerque Alvarado Transit Station, Amtrak, Greyhound and Railrunner. The city bus, Abq Ride (50 Airport) is located around the block from my residence. The city bus can also take you to the airport. Walks to the park and around my neighborhood. I have plenty of chewy toys for your pet to keep themselves occupied. We love to play fetch and tug of war. I give hugs, Belly rubs and pat heads. I have a fenced yard for yard time and to play fetch or just to run. For Drop-in Visits I will walk, Feed, Water, give hugs, Play fetch, clean cat litter, clean up messes your pets make. I also water plants if needed.
