My name is Colleen Manrod. I started pet sitting in 1992 when a co-worker needed a pet sitter for a family vacation. After that first job, I was hooked. I got to meet different pets and their families and decided to this part-time, which I have done for the last 28 years. I just had to advertise in the Metro Pulse for one month and we got more business than we could keep up with. After that, it was just word of mouth, which has kept us very busy.
While traveling, included all above & ….
I was so happy to discover Colleen about a year and a half ago. She and her family are so great with pets! My two boys get so excited when I start putting their stuff in the car because they get to go see their “second family”. The Manrods take care of our dogs as if they were their own dogs. I would highly recommend Pet.Sit.Stay for any service they offer. –L. Radar
Pet. Sit. Stay. has kept my dog Bow for years. They treat her like family and I am always happy knowing she is being cared for and loved!! They are the perfect choice for any pet sitting service!! -A. Day
“Pet, Sit, Stay Pet Sitting has been keeping our golden retriever, Rocky, since he was seven weeks old. We travel often for sporting events and visiting family out of town. He is now eight. He has become one of the family and enjoys going to the Manrod‘s house each and every time. They treat him like he’s their own and he even gets to sleep with them. I don’t know what we would have done without them over the years. I highly recommend Colleen and her crew. The peace of mind that comes with leaving town and knowing that Rocky is in the best hands is priceless! “ –J. Presley
I cannot say enough nice things about this business, as well as Colleen and her family. They are kind, compassionate, and exceptional with animals. They were interested in the unique personality and quirks of our dog so they would be able to provide her with the best care. How nice to be able to go out of town knowing that our dog is getting the same love and attention she would from us! We know our Rey will be well taken care of in their hands. The personal touch makes all of the difference. Highly recommend!
“The Manrods have “babysat” our dogs for about five years. When they stay at her house, they are always excited to get in the car and go. One of my dogs has even developed a special bond with her son. She has spent time fostering animals and preparing them for a home.
We are very relaxed when we travel that the Manrods will take care of our pets 110%. They are also very knowledgeable about dog behavior. I have a puppy that I was very concerned about her being a dog that was too “rough,” but after taking her to the Mandrod’s home with other dogs, she showed me how to allow them to meet each other and they got along wonderfully!
Finally, I truly feel the Manrods treat my dogs as if they were her own. I would give her my pets in the unlikely event I had to re-home them. I definitely recommend her in any type of pet sitting business! “
