Information Colleen S. would like to know about your pet

I'll need to know if your dog is scared of other dogs, traffic, people, etc so we can avoid any triggers. If this is for your cat, areas to avoid petting, food presentation, medications and temperment. I haven't administered shots to dogs before but if you feel comfortable showing me how, I could do it. I said No to high energy dogs but if they are good on a leash or you have a fenced back yard I can play with them then no problem.

A typical day

If you dog is happy to go in the car then we can do local park visits. Depending on your dogs wants and needs we can do walkies anywhere they would like. If your cat likes to chase their toys, happy to throw and retrieve. I can scoop the poop and administer treats.

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner for the past 20 plus years. I have had both senior cats and dogs. I was looking after a family members cat who is diabetic and can administer her meds. Currently without a pet so I'm ready to love yours!

Colleen and Ian were amazing, we felt so comfortable leaving our pup with them as they treated her like their own. We received updates and pictures throughout our trip which also was so nice so we could see it first hand how comfortable our pup was. We will be reaching out again for our next trip for sure!!

Colleen is an amazing sitter! Her husband is awesome too. Our nervous senior dog who had never stayed with anyone outside our family before, took to them immediately! Colleen sent daily updates with pictures and Willow had a great time with them. I would recommend her 100%
