Fun Puppy Play date :)
Pet care experience
I own a Husky girl and used to own a Great Dane male. So I have experience raising and taking care of dogs of all different sizes. Also have taken care of my parents mini golden doodle and yellow lab. I love all pups and partial work from home for the foreseeable future. I also am a very active person I run/walk/get outside all the time and always bring my dog with me. I'm really easy going and laid back, so I love having dogs around just to chill and hang out with whenever I'm binging on Netflix/reading a book. My dog is extremely friendly with other dogs and has grown up around them and loves the company! Anything else you need to know just ask :)
Reviews
Colleen helped out again and took my pup for a long walk around town after work. Thanks!
Colleen took a last minute booking to take Teddy for a long walk. She was very responsive and took really good pictures and my pup was happy and well-exercised. Thank you!
She took great care of my cat! Will definitely be a repeat customer?
Colleen was amazing with Leo! Finn is adorable and they looked very happy together. Colleen kept us updated throughout the day with photos. I’ll definitely use her again when Leo needs someone to take care of him!

Safety, trust & environment
First and foremost, I make sure that any dogs staying in my apt meet my dog outside first to be sure they get each other’s scent prior to coming into a smaller space. Then once they’re comfortable, I bring both upstairs into the living room/kitchen area, and don’t ever leave them alone without either myself or my boyfriend being in the same room for the first day or so while they get more acquainted. All feedings are done in separate rooms as well to avoid any conflict or issue there.

Information Colleen S. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. Would like to know, 1) if the dog is friendly with other dogs (specifically in leash/walks) so I know best way to walk and if necessary to avoid other dogs 2) how often they need to go out 3) what times to feed 4) are they allowed in couch/bed 5) any other quirks
A typical day
Lots of walks along the water.m and in the neighborhood. Like to take our dog on long walks in the morning and afternoon! If comfortable with owners, trips to the dog park!
