TESTIMONIALS

BANKSY

"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!"

~Jeanette L. | Haverford, PA~

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!"

~The Tingans

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!"

~Alyssa L. | Penn Valley, PA

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!"

~Lisa P. | Haverford, PA

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."

~The Lipshutz Family | Wynnewood, PA

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."

~Fraser's Family~

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."

~R. Cantor | Wynnewood, PA

JAKE, HONEY & PINKY

"Colleen has taken care of my dogs for a few years now. They look forward to her coming each day. She is reliable. And is usually available and willing to watch them on short notice. I would recommend her."

~Ralph Gallo | Wynnewood, PA

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."

~Warren Borish | Haverford, PA

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!"

~Cynthia Nemo | Bryn Mawr, PA

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!!!"

~The Cutlers

MAGGIE & KONA

"Our dogs have been staying with Colleen for 4 years. She is very reliable and careful with our girls. We know every time we leave them, they are safe and loved as if they were her own. Her experience and commitment to caring for pets is evident."

~Lauren & Greg (New Jersey)

NELSON

"We have been using Colleen since Nelson was a puppy (he is now 3). We (and Nelson) couldn’t be happier with every experience we've had. From our first meeting, Colleen was professional, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Nelson took to her right away, which put our minds at ease.

Nelson is always so excited to go to Colleen and each time we are away, she keeps us updated with regular messages and photos, showing that Nelson is happy, healthy, and getting plenty of exercise and affection. It is always clear she goes above and beyond to make our dog feel comfortable and cared for. When Nelson was sick recently, Colleen checked in and gave us recommendations and advice which is further proof of how much she loves and cares for him.

Whenever we return, our dog is relaxed and content, which is the best sign of a great sitter. We highly recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring pet sitter."

~Lisa and Arron Dessen (Penn Valley)

ROCKY & LUNA

"Colleen does such a great job with my dogs Luna and Rocky. They LOVE going to her house where she treats them with such love and kindness. She really cares about their well-being - their happiness, their health and their comfort. She sends little funny videos of the dogs doing their silly everyday stuff. Luna and Rocky come home smelling fresh and clean and I am happy knowing they were in a clean house with someone who loves them!"

~Cynthia Nemo (Bryn Mawr)

PABLO

"Colleen and her team have been taking care of my precious Cavapoo, Pablo since he was born, 5 years ago. He is always so excited when we pull up to her house. He plays with his best friends there and her house is a second home to him. He loves his walks and greets his walker with lots of kisses every morning. I have been able to travel to visit my family who live far away with peace of mind knowing he’s getting the love and care he deserves. Colleen is very diligent about feeding him since he’s a picky eater and can be quite difficult with that. He’s facing surgery soon for some torn ligaments and he will be recovering at her house since I have a trip planned soon after the procedure. I feel so lucky that we have the care and support that Colleen provides and feel very lucky that she was recommended to me."

~Beth (Gladwyne)

RIGBY

"We've trusted Colleen at Howls and Meows Pet Sitting with our dog Rigby ever since he was a puppy and we couldn't be happier. Through walks, boarding, and everything in between, Colleen has proven to be an invaluable part of Rigby's life. One thing we love is Colleen's daily puppy playgroup which gives Rigby a safe and fun way to socialize and burn off energy with other dogs that a walk around the block from us just cannot replicate. Above all it’s clear how much Colleen genuinely cares for the animals she works with, and we’re so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our pup. We wholeheartedly recommend Howls and Meows to any pet owner looking for compassionate, dependable care."

~Kristina & Kyle Werth (Conshohocken)

TUCKER

"We feel so fortunate to have found Colleen to care for our dog, Tucker — though we’re pretty sure Tucker is even more thankful! From the very beginning, it was clear she truly loves what she does, and Tucker absolutely adores her. Colleen is reliable, kind, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure Tucker gets the exercise, attention, and affection he needs while we’re at work. We always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker!"

~Paul & Chelsea (Conshohocken)

ELLA

"We are so lucky to have found Colleen to watch our pup, Ella! Colleen is reliable and responsive when it comes to communication. We have so much peace of mind when we are out of town knowing Ella is safe and well-cared for! She even gets so excited when we’re pulling up knowing she’s getting a fun stay herself."
