Information Colleen S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any behavioral or physical concerns I should be aware of. I would also like to know any relevant training information such as walking commands you use to ensure a low stress environment. I have a high energy, well socialized dog who would love to join us on walks so please let me know if this works for your dog.

A typical day

I love playing with pets whether they are a dog or cat. We will play with toys and different games and they will get lots of love. On walks I will make sure they get plenty of sniff breaks for mental stimulation.

Pet care experience

I grew up with both dogs and cats in the house. I currently have a young dog, a puppy, and 2 cats; I also have experience caring for senior and/or sick pets. I have always been a frequent pet sitter for friends so I have watched many different cats and dogs.

Colleen was a wonderful sitter for our dog Lilly! She did in home visits, kept us updated, and always sent lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Lilly clearly loved her, and we really appreciated the care and attention she gave. We would definitely book with Colleen again!

Colleen was great with our Kitty! He loved seeing her and her daily updates were a highlight while we were away.

Colleen was extremely responsive and accommodating for pet sitting over the holiday break. My cat loved her and I’d be happy to have her back to sit anytime! Thanks again!!

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.
