Enjoy your time away!
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!
Reviews
Colleen and Ian provided excellent care of our beloved morkie over the long weekend. They went above and beyond to make him feel welcome and he became a loved member of their family. We received regular updates and photos, providing peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to our friends and family and will definitely book again for future travels.
Colleen takes her role seriously and ensures she has all the information she needs to take the best care of your pet. She is very thorough. She provides lots of love and has a big heart! We felt very secure knowing Pete was well taken care of when he was with Colleen. She is compassionate, caring, and has a good sense of humour. I feel Pete missed her after we picked him up. I would recommmend Colleen and we have already booked a second stay for Pete.
Colleen and Ian were great with our dogs while we took a weekend trip away. It was our first time leaving them with someone and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to reassure us that everything was going well and you could see how much they really love animals. Would definitely recommend!
I have two Mini Schnauzers that are a total bundle of energy and require lots of attention and love, one also has a medical condition that requires medication. I had to go away on a special extended family trip to the Caribbean for a week and knew that a standard “kennel situation” would just not suffice for my fur family members. This is when I contacted Colleen. I knew immediately that she was a kind and gentle soul perfect to care for my boys. Colleen made sure that we communicated all of their needs that exceeded my expectations for their stay with her, from their diet requirements to their walking schedules and of course play time with their stuffies etc. When I returned home I found them as content or maybe even happier that they had a vacation away from us as well. I would have Colleen look after them in a heartbeat should the need arise again. Colleen’s attention to their needs coupled with her calm and gentle demeanour makes her the perfect sitter for us.

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.
