Safety, trust & environment

I treat your home as if it were my own. I am very detail oriented and thoroughly read over instructions to ensure I don't miss any important tasks to be completed. I make sure to leave your home in the same state it was in when I arrived. I check to make sure everything looks in order and I always get eyes on every cat before leaving to make sure every kitty is accounted for. I am also very cautious entering/leaving your home in case of door dashing kitties.

Colleen was great with all 4 of our cats. We appreciated the time she took to win over our cats, especially our skittish one, we also appreciated all the personal updates and extra care.

House Sitting • Apr 08, 2019

Colleen did such an amazing job watching our pup - we feel SO lucky to have found her! Not only did she leave our house spotless after house-sitting for a few days, she sent lots of photo updates and played tons of fetch with our dog in the yard. Colleen really is all the things you want in a dog sitter: responsible, courteous & respectful, and a great communicator. When we got home our dog barely even flinched - it's like she barely noticed we were gone!

Colleen took care of my cat while I had to leave for an emergency trip. She was absolutely fantastic, not only fed her and changed the litter but played with her and kept us updated at all times. She sent pictures, texts, asked questions, etc. I would recommend her anytime! She is fabulous!

Colleen is exactly who you would want to care for your four legged friend. She has a love for all animals, cats being her specialty. The two cats I have seen her care for have been some of the happiest and well mannered cats. She has even taught her cat tricks which amazes me. Even though her specialty may be cats, she is just as good with dogs. You can trust her with your dog and be confident that your friend will be happy, well cared for and has had lots of play time!
