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.

Information Colleen V. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to have written detailed instructions left for me or sent to me via email so I can have them on hand while I am caring for your cat. Also, please leave emergency contacts should I not be able to reach you.

A typical day

I adjust my time spent with your kitty depending on what their preferences are. If they are playful I will always play with them to give them enrichment while you're away. If they prefer me to just be in their company I will sit with them. And of course if they enjoy pets (my favorite) I am happy to oblige :)

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.

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!
