I’m looking for more activities to do on the weekends and I’m usually on walks anyways! I work in DC Tuesday-Thursday, but could do evening care any day of the week. The Arlington neighborhoods are fun to explore while on a walk as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Meal times are important and keeping food/water well stocked for the pet is essential. Additionally, that nothing they could get into has been left out. I also think on walks the dog should stay on a leash!

Information Colleen S. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s important to know whether or not the dog has any fears of certain breeds so that when on walks I’m aware. Also, knowing if the pet is aggressive towards any gender.

A typical day

I think playing fetch is a fun activity to do with dogs. I’m pretty energetic so a dog who needs to get their energy out would like me. For cats, playing with toys is also an enjoyable time - the mouse on a string game is my fav!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around animals my whole life! I am comfortable with large and small dogs. I can’t have a dog where I’m living now, so I thought this would be a fun way to get some much needed dog time! I also love cats, have lived with them for years, and am finally an owner! (Picture of my baby included!)

Colleen was great - very accommodating and communicative about my cat with a couple of special needs! She was always timely, and she sent great pictures of my lil' guy :) Will definitely book with her again if I find myself without a sitter in the future!

Colleen was super easy to work with and flexible! She also cleaned up after my cat is much appreciated.

Colleen did a wonderful job caring for our two cats. She made sure our one cat got his medicine each night and did a great job following all the instructions we left and playing with the kitties. I would definitely rebook with her!
