Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Lover
I've cared for animals of all kinds for as long as I can remember, and working with pets has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've gained extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and care needs. In addition to pet care, I have plenty of experience house sitting and understand the importance of keeping a home safe, clean, and well-maintained while owners are away. I treat every home with the same respect and care that I would my own. I've also volunteered with Guide Dogs for the Blind and local animal shelters, where I gained hands-on experience working with animals of all ages, sizes, and demeanors. These experiences have taught me patience, reliability, and how to respond calmly to each animal's unique needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and anxious, or somewhere in between, I'm confident in providing compassionate, attentive care to help them feel comfortable and loved while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I carefully follow all feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, and I always make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a clean environment. I respect every home as if it were my own, keeping it tidy and secure throughout my stay. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the care they deserve.
Ratings and reviews
Collette is the best! I hired her to watch our two Golden Retrievers at our home. Collette was responsible, dependable, and our pups loved her. She kept to the schedule we provided for her, and she also kept us in the loop with pictures of our happy pups. She carefully watched over our home, which was in perfect shape when we returned. She responded to messages quickly, and we never felt worried about our pups or our home while we were away. You would be lucky to have her as your house/pet sitter!
Collette is very responsible, a great communicator, reliable, and is a total natural with all animals! She is exactly who you want looking after your house and pets.

Schedule
I'm currently a student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and also work part-time, so my daytime schedule varies from week to week. However, I often have long breaks between classes and work, which allows me to stop by throughout the day if your pet needs a potty break, feeding, medication, or some extra attention. Most mornings, I leave around 8:30 a.m., but I'm typically in and out during the day before returning for the evening around 4:00 p.m. From then on, I'm home consistently for the rest of the night. I'll always communicate my schedule in advance so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for.
