“I have a very young 100 pound rescue dog with severe PTSD. He is very aggressive toward other dogs as a result and needs an e-collar to leave the house. Colette is the only dog walker I've had who is able to easily take him on walks without a problem. She also cares for my house as if it was her own. She is very flexible with last minute requests to work and is quick to correspond with me. She is a true gem who loves her work!”

“My dogs love Colette! She is very dependable and I trust her confidently in caring for my two dogs with close attention while hiking with them off leash on all the amazing local trail systems. One of my dogs is a shy rescue but she learned to love and trust Colette after the first meeting which made me feel very comfortable sending them with her when I am away. I can’t express enough how thankful I am and how important it is to have such a trust worthy dog walker/ sitter to take care of my dogs up to my high standards.”

“I cannot recommend The Jolly Walker highly enough. Colette is dependable, trustworthy and takes excellent care of our pups. We have two dogs — an eight-year-old and a one-year-old. She was brave enough to care for our puppy when she was just a few months old, and our dogs love her. I always know they’re happy and being well cared for when they’re with Colette! We feel lucky to have found her.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Colette and The Jolly Walker Pet care service. Leaving your fur babies in the care of someone else is never easy, but Colette made us feel like not only were our dogs in good hands, but they were having a vacation as well! She sent daily updates with pictures and was always quick to respond to our questions. She stayed in our home with them and when we got back it was as if nobody had stayed there at all! Our home was just how we left it! My only hesitation in recommending Colette is that she will become too busy to watch our pups! But in all seriousness, Colette is a gem and your animals would be lucky to have her watching over them”
“Colette (The Jolly Walker) is my absolute #1 "go to" for taking care of our 11 year old mini golden doodle, Bella, who is our "baby." I hate leaving Bella but I love going on vacation so finding Colette was truly a "gift." She is the most amazing dog sitter! She pays lots of attention to Bella (who is used to lots of attention;) and takes her on walks, hikes, etc. Colette is extremely responsible and leaves our house exactly as we left it. You would never even know she was there! She sends lots of updates and pictures and is extremely responsive when I text her.It is so reassuring know Bella and our house are in such great hands when we go away; I know that I don't have to worry, so I can really enjoy being away!”
