Pet care experience

Looking for some furry friends!

I am in the Kalamazoo area and I would love to meet your pet! I love animals and want to share that love. I have a flexible schedule and am available mornings, lunchtime, afternoons and some evenings to walk, play with, and feed your pet. I have had experience house and pet sitting for friends for the past 8 years. I am very responsible and put the safety of the dog first. My goal is for you to return to a happy and healthy pet.

Colleen provided excellent service, sending pictures and brief summaries after each visit. Those meant a lot to me and to Melody and I highly recommend her!

Colleen is great. Stayed in touch throughout her stay. Sent a couple photos over and let us know how the dogs were doing. They were happy and the house was clean upon our return!

Colleen stayed with our dog, Carly, for several days. When we returned from our trip she was happy and well cared for! Colleen also sent us a picture of Carly cuddled up on the couch with her. We would recommend Colleen to anyone who needs to have their pet cared for while they are away!

Happy dogs! Colleen house sat for us and watched our two older dogs recently and we returned home to a couple happy dogs and a house that looked just as we had left it. She was great at communication throughout! Will hire her again.
