Runner's Retreat

Pet care experience

Hello! If you have a high energy hound or maybe a pup that could lose a few pounds, our retreat is the place for you. I have two very in shape dogs of my own to prove it. I am a Boston Marathon runner and have over 7 years of experience running with not only my dogs, but dogs I have taken care of over the years...therefore, references available. :) Let me describe a day in your pup's life when they stay in our house: Wake up at 7:00 a.m. and go for a run Rest in our cozy living room with our two very sweet and accommodating dogs At 12:00 I will come home from work (My office is only two miles away) and we will go on a lunch run in the woods (woods pictured in our photos) Rest some more :) At 2:30 my 13 year old will be home to love on and walk our furry visitor At 6:00 there is another optional short run 20 to 30 minute night walk around our neighborhood At bedtime, your pup can either sleep in my bed with me or in a crate or wherever he/she/you want....trust me, after all this activity your pooch will sleep well!

Colleen is an amazing doggie care giver! My Rafiki boy loved running with her and her two dogs.

This was our first time using a Rover sitter, and we had the best experience with Colleen! She was responsive to messages, very welcoming when we arrived at her home, and she sent pictures, videos and updates throughout the stay. My puppies have a ton of energy, and she managed to wear them out! They came home very tired and very happy! It was so nice to leave town and know our puppies were well taken care of and having a blast. We will definitely use her again in the future, and you should too! :)

Shep has been with Colleen a couple of times and she has taken great care of him. He has stayed for more than 2 weeks once and had great fun with her. She regular sent us pictures and videos and we could see how much he loved her. She has also been very flexible about pickup and drop off times.

Callie loved her stay with Colleen! She got so much exercise and was able to enjoy plenty of off-leash fun. Colleen kept us well informed throughout her stay. We would highly recommend Colleen!
