Colleen did an excellent job with my dog! He’s reactive and this was the first time I hired a dog sitter. She communicated a perfect amount, and I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with her. I would definitely hire Colleen again!

Colleen took great care of Lucky. She communicated with us everyday with pictures that were just wonderful. She put our worries at ease and allowed us to really focus on our vacation. Colleen left our home in immaculate condition and communicated with us on the day we arrived back home. We would love to have Colleen watch Lucky in the future again. Wonderful experience!!

Colleen is an amazing dog sitter for our two crazy girls. She keeps us updated, is communicable, and seems to genuinely love and spend time with them. Having her watch our babies makes for a less stressful trip away from home.

Colleen was an outstanding dog sitter. We have a senior dog that needed special attention. She was perfect with him! Great communication and pictures were sent throughout the time she was sitting for our poodle! Just wonderful!!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
