Safety, trust & environment

I prefer homes that have cameras, that way if anything’s happening while you are gone I can try to get there sooner. I swear by my rotating cameras - have to see everyone!

Information Colleen W. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences typically work with pitbulls and bully breeds & larger breed dogs so I have experience handling stronger dogs. I rescued my pit from a fighting ring and have fostered many dogs from abused homes so I’m familiar with skiddish pups & my guy had horrible separation anxiety for a while so neither of those would be a problem if your pup doesn’t like being away from his parents!

A typical day

I love long walks and tiring a pup out, a happy dog is a tired dog I live by that motto. My goal is always an hour walk but I know some can’t go that long or won’t weather pending haha. If you have a yard I’ll play with them out back and get them tired out - we live by the tennis ball launcher.

Pet care experience

Hi all! I have worked with animals on and off for 18 years and am currently a bartender but need some exercise and some puppy love! I have been fostering for 8 years or so and have had 11 dogs in my house at once and loved every minute of it. I am in the process of buying a house so I can foster again- apartment life is not for us. I can administer meds and help clip nails if needed, I know the struggle! I am currently a bartender at Ocean Casino so I am unavailable for overnights but can gladly drop in for a nice long walk during the day on weekdays, weekends I am not home til later evening so if you need a late drop in I am a night owl. I also have a very energetic orange cat who keeps me on my toes, always love a new catto friend! Even the shy ones eventually warm up to me. My boy also thinks he’s a dog so he comes on walks and goes swimming, he’s an odd boy for sure. Hope to meet your furbabies for some good exercise!

As I was saying in the review I cut off, I almost hate to leave a great review for Colleen because that will increase demand for her services, and we want her to ourself.
