Pet care experience

Dogs and angels are not far apart

I have always loved dogs. They are the very best of us. My last two dogs lived to 17 years old so I'm very familiar with the needs of elderly dogs and my current dog (4 years old) we got as a puppy. Anything you need I can handle with love and confidence. Happy to send updates and pictures. Our pets are family.

Colleen and her family did a wonderful job of taking care of our 2 energetic dogs. She made them feel at home and out our family at peace while we were on vacation, knowing they were well taken care of. She sent updates every day including pictures and videos. We hope that she will let our dogs stay with her again; a great experience!

Colleen helps care for our animals when we are on vacation. She always is reliable, shows up, completes the task she has said she will do and is kind and friendly as well. I highly recommend her for helping with your animals!

Colleen loves all animals; I would trust her night or day to watch our home and our big energetic dog. She can handle every day responsibilities as well as emergencies and has the personality to deal with all kinds of dogs, cats, chickens, goats, horses, and the list goes on. I can count on Colleen to feed our big guy as well as throw the ball for him, brush him, and walk him!

Safety, trust & environment

I have laminate floors and a completely fenced in large back yard. I understand every animal is different and since I work from home, we do not have a pet door so even indoor pets are safe. In your home I'm happy to follow your rules and respect boundaries. Happy to send pictures and updates!

I love all ages of animals. I have had the privilege of owning and caring for animals from birth to 19 years of age (older in horses). I know how to do shots, pills, and cuddles.
