About Colleen

Experience: 10 yrs

My decade of experience in animal care is rooted in the belief that every pet deserves to be treated as my own. I hold a graduate degree, which has sharpened my ability to manage complex needs with responsibility, kindness, and empathy. I provide professional pet walking, medication administration, and dog training, with specialized experience in caring for young, senior, special needs, and challenging pets. I prioritize your pet's well-being through consistent routines, strict adherence to dietary schedules, and active play for high-energy breeds. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow established safety plans, and communicate with you immediately. I find immense joy in witnessing unique animal personalities and providing owners with true peace of mind. Whether I am supporting a senior pet or training a spirited puppy, I am dedicated to ensuring your companions feel safe, loved, and right at home. I look forward to welcoming your furry or feathered family members into my care.
