Pet care experience

Caring pet lover/sitter

I love animals and provide the best care I can. I have fostered animals, owned animals my whole life and volunteered at the shelters. I will care for your animal like they are mine, and respect the way you want your animal cared for. Each animal is tailored to uniquely, since each pet owner parents their pet differently. I work part time wed-Fri so not always available those days until the early evenings, with some exceptions. I understand some animals have different needs, and have dealt with a variety of different personalities. I have experience with animals young and old. I am comfortable with animals of different sizes and breeds. I currently have no pets of my own, so I enjoy getting to love on other peoples pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, currently no animals of my own, but I do foster animals at times, so sometimes I may have a animal in the home, but have enough space to keep animals separated if need be. I do have kids in my house that love pets. So your pet would get extra love and extra playtime from them as well

Colleen was fantastic! She took wonderful care of our two cats for a week and was very communicative with daily updates/photos. She really went above and beyond, making extra visits to the cats when a couple of unexpected situations arose during the week, which we were so grateful for while we were out of the country. We came back home to happy cats — they clearly adored her! We will absolutely hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone!!

Colleen was so sweet to my grumpy old kitty BFF. She was very gentle meeting her so that Esther seemed to feel totally comfortable with her. Would totally recommend Colleen!

Colleen was wonderful! She took care of our cat, Petra, while we were out of town for the week. She was very responsive and great to work with. We enjoyed receiving the daily photos, and felt reassured Petra was in good hands. Highly recommend!
