Safety, trust & environment

I treat clients' dogs like my own. I do prefer a meet and greet before caring for your pet. I will only care for pets in the client's home since I already have 3 dogs of my own. I am quiet and calm with animals to put them at ease. I can take them for a walk, or will play ball or whatever your dog enjoys playing. I can feed your pet, give treats, meds, and always provide fresh water. I am responsible and always show up, stay the full amount of time, and make sure the house is just as I left it. Dogs are always happy to see me. Your dog will get lots of love during my visits.

Information Colleen S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to do a meet and greet to familiarize myself with your pet and where things are located, unless your pet is very comfortable with sitters coming in.

A typical day

I do whatever the pet enjoys, whether it's taking a walk, playing ball/fetch, Frisbee, or just snuggling and getting pets. Just let me know what your pet likes.

Experienced dog walker and sitter

Pet care experience

I am a school teacher and a life-long animal lover and have had pets since I was a young child. I currently have 3 dogs (and a horse). Two of my dogs have their intermediate trick titles and also compete and do well in agility. The third is an older deaf rescue. I am experienced with handling and also training dogs. During the summer, I have worked with a local company for 8 years for dog walking as well as dog/cat sitting for vacation clients. Through word of mouth I've had training clients and hope to add that service through Rover. I also I am fairly new to Rover since my availability depends on when school is in session.

Colleen was wonderful and so good to our pups. She provided lots of pictures and updates. She went out of her way to take great care of them.

Colleen is fantastic! Very patient with Fritz even though he wasn’t very cooperative.

Colleen was fantastic! She checked in with our doggo for a week while we were out of town. She was reliable, gave updates with each visit, and our dog loved her! Would recommend her to anyone!

Colleen is so great with animals. She trained our Cavapoo puppy when he was a few months old for several months. I still ask her for tips into his first year. He adored her and would get so excited every time she came to our door! She's on time and worked with our schedule. She taught him tricks and obedience training. Her sincere love and respect for animals is evident. She is patient and understands their behavior. She'll adapt her training to what works best for the animal, and owner. I highly recommend her and would use her again if needed.
