Safety, trust & environment

I am careful and observant. I will always verify that your dog’s collar and leash are on securely before we leave the house. If you have a fenced in yard, I’ll ensure the gate is closed and latched, and I’ll watch to make sure your dog doesn’t get into anything it’s not supposed to.

Information Colleen W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any aggressive/biting tendencies. Give me a heads up if there’s anything I should watch out for when walking your dog through your neighborhood.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and take them on fun walks. I’m patient and will let your dog take its time smelling all the good smells and peeing in all the best spots. After a long walk, we can relax with some treats and cuddles.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover and am experienced with dogs and cats. I have 2 senior dogs that I’ve had since they were puppies (a Newfoundland and a Basset hound), and 3 senior cats, so I’ve gotten pretty good at taking care of older animals with health issues, including giving meds orally and topically. I also have 2 cockatiels and a canary!

Colleen did a great job of taking care of my 3 cats. I would definitely use her again and recommend her services to others.

Colleen was absolutely amazing with our furry (and feathered!) family. She cared for our 3 dogs, 5 cats, and 3 birds like they were her own. One of our dogs was a senior who was blind and deaf, and another was recovering from knee surgery — she handled both with so much patience, love, and attention. We came home to happy pets and a peaceful house. It’s such a comfort knowing they were so well cared for.
