Colleen was wonderful at a stressful time. She enjoyed Dory and even clipped her nails. Will definitely use again.

She was great for a long stay. She stayed at our house and made sure our elderly do, Shakira, was happy and well treated. Shak was very happy and the house was very clean. She communicated well and actually did more for us than was expected. She is awesome!!

Information Colleen T. would like to know about your pet

I like to get to know dogs and see how they approach and interact with other dogs, people and things (like cars, things that are new to them, etc) as well as what their typical schedule is.

A typical day

I enjoy finding ways to provide enrichment to pets - things like games that build skills, engage their noses and brains, and interact with them to build confidence and trust.
