About The Founder
Colleen Flanagan
Welcome to Your Dog Smiles! I launched this company in 2008 out of a lifelong love for animals and a deep desire to build a career working hands-on with pets every single day.
Expertise & Peace of Mind
When you leave your pet in someone else's care, you need to know they are safe. In addition to my years of professional pet-sitting experience, I served as a Pet CPR and First Aid Instructor for over a decade. I bring that specialized safety training into every home I visit, ensuring you have total peace of mind knowing a highly trained, caring professional is watching over your furry family members.
The Your Dog Smiles Philosophy
At Your Dog Smiles, we have built our reputation on trust, reliability, and treating your pets exactly as we would our own. We focus on building long-term relationships so your pets are genuinely excited to see us each time we walk through the door—giving you the freedom to be away without worry.
We strongly believe in the power of in-home care. Hiring a professional pet sitter or dog walker allows your pets to remain in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by familiar sights, sounds, and routines. This minimizes stress and helps your pets stay happy and healthy while you are away.
The Benefits of Our In-Home Care:
-
Routine Maintenance: Pets stay on their normal diet and exercise routines.
-
Health & Wellness: Exposure to illnesses from other animals is significantly reduced.
-
Zero Travel Stress: Travel trauma is completely eliminated—for both pets and owners.
-
Customized Care: Your pet receives dedicated, individual attention and affection.
-
Security & Relief: You gain absolute peace of mind knowing an experienced professional has everything handled.
