Sit & Stay!

After 10 years in the corporate world, Colleen Coy decided to get back to her love of animals. Her knowledge of animals stems from her 5+ years experience working in Veterinary Hospitals and Pet Stores. She has experience handling and treating all kinds of animals, for example: rodents, reptiles, birds, fish, snakes, dogs, cats, ferrets, etc.

Colleen is a qualified PetTech Instructor and teaches courses on Pet First Aid and Safety for Your Pet.

Colleen lives in Felida with her three dogs; Shasta, Dealer and River. Shasta regularly helps out as 'demo' dog when Colleen teaches her Pet First Aid classes. Dealer & River enjoy working the sheep at Brigands Hideout in Battle Ground, WA. They are typical, hard working Australian Shepherds and enjoy 'helping' Colleen with pet sitting, chores and gardening.

Sue has always had a profound love of animals; her parents told her that even as a small child, animals would follow her everywhere. As an Army brat, Sue traveled a lot and she absolutely fell in love with horses while living in California.

Sue now lives in Ridgefield with her cat Tigger, her dog Josie, and her parrot Skyler. Recently Sue adopted a new puppy- a miniature Daschund named Zoey.

Over the years Sue had had cats, dogs, birds, horses, gerbils, rabbits, pet rats, all kinds of fish and guinea pigs. Her sons have or have had just about everything else including large lizards and tarantula spiders.

After 28 years in the corporate world, Sue thought she might try retirement... Well that lasted less then a year. After a few more office jobs, she finally realized that wasn’t for her anymore. Eventually she saw an ad for ‘Pet Sitting’ and that’s all she wrote. Sue absolutely loves being a pet sitter, as well as working for the local School District helping kids get started off on the right foot.

Molly took an early retirement from the Dept. of Labor in 1994, and has been working part time at a variety of interesting jobs since that time. Molly just recently moved to Vancouver from Boise Idaho, and found Sit Stay Pets when a friend in Vancouver saw a job announcement and suggested she contact Colleen. And, as they say, the rest is history...

Her experience with animals is varied, including a stint as a volunteer at the World Center Birds of Prey, working closely with a variety of Raptors. As a child growing up, she and her sister, who is also an animal lover, had a variety of pets, including Horny Toads, Birds, cats, dogs, Hamsters, rats, chickens, horses, etc.

The love of her life is her 12 year old Yorkie, Lena, who, like Molly does not act her age.

Molly is also a Certified Personal Trainer and Aerobic Instructor, and teaches aerobics and yoga at a small women’s health club in Vancouver.
