TESTIMONIALS

Howls and Meows Testimonials

​"I am a long time Mainline resident and I've known Colleen for close to 5 years and have seen her handle dogs of various breeds and dispositions with expertise.  She has taken care of my two pit bull type dogs (along with my cat) a number of times, and these are not easy dogs. I have hired her both for daily walks/potty breaks, as well as house-sitting combined with pet care.  I have always returned to a better house than I left; she provides excellent value for her services."

BARNABUS

"Colleen has been walking my greyhound Barnabas for over 6 months now and she has been nothing short of fabulous. She takes him to the dog park with other dogs and lets him run off leash, which he loves! He is always so excited to see her and can't wait to get out the door with her. Colleen is always on time and is responsible and incredibly competent at managing several dogs at a time. I know that I can always count on her, even for last minute requests. I would recommend her as a dog walker unequivocally."

MOLLY

"Colleen has been walking and caring for my 12 year old Brittany Spaniel, Molly, for several years now.  She is very good with Molly's high anxiety. She is knowledgeable when I need advice about Molly's behaviors or concerning symptoms. She is reliable and flexible with my work schedule, even at the last minute!"

JADWYN & MECCA

"Colleen has been taking care of my and my husband's two dogs for the last year and a half. We completely trust Colleen; she is knowledgeable of the training we did with our dogs (since her fiance trained them!) and she treats our dogs like her own. She walks, plays, feeds them and has also watched them overnight at her place. She extremely responsive and has been flexible even when we contact her for dog walking the night before we needed her (or needed to cancel). Her prices are extremely fair and reasonable. We are so appreciative of Colleen and the care she shows our dogs. We are lucky to have her!"

KORI & BARKLEY

"Colleen has watched our dogs and bunny for 3 years and I can't say enough good things about her. Colleen is responsible, reliable, trustworthy, honest and very loving with our pets. Colleen knows how to handle dogs, is confident with different temperaments and understands their individual personalities. When we travel Colleen stays at our house and takes care of our pets and home like they are her own. Last year we went away for 6 weeks, without Coleen this trip wouldn't have been possible. Colleen watches our pets about a dozen times over a year. We can enjoy vacations knowing our dogs and bunny are in the best possible hands. She gives the dogs lots of daily exercise with long walks, gives our 1 dog his daily medicine and always fills up their water bowls and gives them their meals on time. Colleen is great, I wouldn't use anyone else. She is the absolute best, we adore her!"

SUGAR

"My week would not be the same without Colleen!  She makes certain that our Australian Shepherd  is well cared for while the rest of the family is at school and work. Plus - Colleen is just as wonderful with her humans as she is with her animals.  She is an excellent communicator, well organized and a pleasure to work with. She even takes amazing care of our girl when we are on vacation. I couldn’t hope for anyone better!"

FRANKLIN

"We met Colleen when she purchased the dog walking service we had always used when our dog walker retired. Over the last three years, Colleen has shown herself to be reliable and trustworthy. She has trusted people to back her up when there are scheduling issues. Colleen leaves a written report about each and every walk. She feeds our dog and gives him his prescribed medicine. She has stayed with him at our home when we are away. Our dog has thrived when she takes care of him. Her fees are reasonable. We recommend her services."

FRASER

"Fraser, our rescue who looks like a small Collie, is a daily walking client of Colleen’s as well as a frequent sleepover guest.  She is wonderful with him and they seem to have a true rapport. I have no worries about him when he is with her and she is always quick to point out any health concerns she spots. She is also very flexible and has been a huge help for him (and me) on more than one occasion. I highly recommend her."

MACY

​"We have been working with Colleen for several years now, and I can honestly say that we would be lost without her. She cares for Macy, like Macy is one of her own dogs. Colleen is always very responsible, dependable, and professional. She goes above and beyond and is always proactive - letting us know when Macy doesn't seem herself or what we could do to help Macy. There is no one I would trust with Macy more than Colleen. I know Colleen will love and treat her just like we do. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Colleen and to have her in our lives, and I know Macy feels the same way!"

~Zeiger Family | Penn Valley, PA

VINNIE & GISELLE

"We and our two dogs are so happy to have found Colleen! We have a labrador retriever and a cavapoo and they both absolutely love her. She not only walks and feeds them, but looks out for their overall well being and health. She shows them so much affection and is reliable, responsive and trustworthy. She has stayed overnight in our home and leaves it perfectly clean when she leaves. We feel so lucky to be able to count on her take knowing she'll provide such excellent care of our canine babies!"

~Scott & Tara Levensten | Haverford, PA

LEVI

"Colleen has been caring for our dog Levi for three years now. She's reliable and we trust her at all times with our dog. She takes him to the park seven days a week and stays at our home while we are away weeks at a time. She has also cared for my daughters two dogs for over a month while they were overseas. When it's time for Vet visits she takes Levi to and from the vet when needed. She never lets us down when it comes to caring for our dog. We wouldn't trust our pet with anybody else."

CODY & ECHO

​"Colleen has been taking care of my dogs for a number of years. She is a wonderful person and a caring, conscientious and reliable caregiver who my dogs love! I trust her completely with them, my house and everything else you need and expect from someone you entrust with the care of your pets and property. She has become part of the family and has been there with us through the good and the bad times and never disappoints. I enthusiastically recommend her services."

LUNA

​"Colleen is such a natural with dogs. Our dog Luna started staying with her a few years ago when we would go on vacation. Now Colleen also walks her. I never feel guilty leaving Luna because Colleen treats her with such love and affection. While I am away she keeps me posted on Luna and sends pictures. Colleen totally gets Luna’s personality! With Colleen Berkery you get so much more than a dog sitter, you get a dog LOVER! Plus she is just so easy to work with so our experience has been beyond fantastic and I would recommend her to any other dog lover!"

BAUER

​"Colleen is the best! Our 1 year old lab, Bauer, is always happy when he sees Colleen coming through the door. She wears him out and all that puppy energy is satisfied for the day. Colleen is dependable and has also been so helpful with tips on taking care of our new boy. It’s so nice to be on vacation when Bauer is with Colleen; there’s nothing to worry about. We know he’s having the time of his life and he’s in a great hands. Double paws up for howls & meows!!!"
