Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible & Reliable Care
Lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands-on experience! I grew up with cats and currently share my home with my sweet dog, Felicity. I also have a degree in Animal Science and 20 years of experience working with horses as a professional trainer, so I understand animal behavior and care inside and out. I’m reliable, attentive, and love making sure dogs feel happy, safe, and loved while their humans are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or following special routines, your furry friend will be in great hands!

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort for every pet in my care. In your home, I follow your routines closely, supervise carefully, and ensure all doors, gates, and spaces remain secure. I pay attention to each pet’s personality and needs, making sure they feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Colleen is great! Highly recommended
Colleen has cared for my dog Winnie, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely loving with animals, and it’s obvious how much she truly cares about their safety and happiness. Winnie absolutely adores her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing she’s in such capable, trustworthy hands. Beyond being amazing with pets, Colleen is an all-around wonderful human—kind, reliable, and thoughtful, with great communication and customer service that goes above and beyond. Anyone would be lucky to have Colleen care for their pet.
I can’t recommend Colleen enough as a Rover sitter. She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear she will treat every pet like her own. She’s great at following instructions, communicating updates, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just extra cuddles, Colleen goes above and beyond.
I highly recommend Colleen as a dog sitter. She consistently goes above and beyond in every aspect of care. Colleen is great at understanding what a dog needs, whether that’s more exercise/playtime, some quiet, or a little extra attention. She treats every pet like her own, and you can clearly see how much she cares through her kindness, reliability, and professionalism. Anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter would be lucky to have her.
I’ve known Colleen for almost 10 years and the first thing that comes to mind when I think of her is that she’s an animal lover. She loves being around horses and her dog Felicity. You can tell that her horse, Cricket and her dog, Felicity feel safe and happy with her. She loves her animals and the animals she works with and you can tell they love her back.

Schedule
I work with horses, so my schedule can change, but I’m flexible and happy to work around your needs. Most times are usually open for walks, visits, or overnight stays- whatever your furry friend needs.
