Colleen came to feed our two cats, one of which is a rescue and is very timid. Both cats came out to see her when she arrived which is amazing! We were very happy with Colleen’s service and would recommend her. Very reliable, polite and professional!

Colleen was super easy and professional to communicate with. It was our pups first time with her so the environment was new. That combined with some unexpected fireworks made for some anxious babies. Colleen changed her sleeping arrangements to accommodate them and make them feel safe so everyone could sleep. I was very comfortable and happy that Murph and Eddie stayed with Colleen.

Simply Phenomenal! I’m a dog sitter on Rover myself and I can simply say she outdid her job? I had to board one of my over anxious dogs overnight as I had to head downtown Toronto and she simply took care of him as her very own pup. She kept sending updates to ensure he was doing well which kept me at ease. When I went to pick up Marley I could simply see it in his eyes as to how happy he was to spend the night with her and her lil pup?? Will definitely be using her services in the future as I know my dogs are well taken care of?

Our pups had a great weekend with Colleen and Dottie! They came home happy and tired from playing! ♥️

Colleen was friendly and professional, I felt very comfortable upon meeting her and her little dog Dottie (prior to scheduling an overnight stay for my dog Drake). Colleen keep my informed of how Drake was doing and sent photos. Drake had so my fun with Dottie and Colleen! I am definitely going to book more stays with Colleen in the future.
