Pet care experience
I’m recently updating this part of my profile . I recently lost my 13 year old dog to cancer .I currently had been inactive on Rover for this reason during the course of his treatment program and 3 year fight with this disease . I am ready to come back and miss daily pet companionship. I am mostly doing drop in visits and house sitting . I have recently left Charleston SC and looking for my next forever home . But my base will be Wilmington NC. for a long time. as this is where my aging mother lives.. I am able to care for your pets and build a rep-ore, with you and yours..And when I am in the NYC area which happens often , I will also be available for services there.. I have been with Rover for many years now. . . I have experience with all dogs and cats . I also have a cat myself . I am very experienced with handling a dog with special needs . Due to my own personal experience .. .I am ready to help You out with your needs and put you at ease so you don’t have to worry . Trust me I know what worrying about a pet is . I am trust worthy and dependable and ready to put you at ease with top quality pet care . Namaste 🙏🏼
Reviews
Coleen is the best!
Coleen was wonderful with my dog. She took care of her for 10 days. I was anxious as she is a rescue, it was her first time away, and was not sure how she would react. Coleen kept me updated with pictures and how she was doing. When I picked her up, I could tell my dog had grown fond of her, and had been very well treated! She even walks better on her leash since her stay with Coleen. I will definitely leave her with Coleen again!
Colleen was warm and friendly to us and our dogs, and welcomed us into her home. We knew we could have a fun day in Charleston and not worry about the dogs. We are grateful that Colleen treated our dogs like family. She also had some restaurant tips for us.
Coleen was awesome. I needed a last minute sitter over the holidays and she was prompt to respond and keep in contact with me. I also needed to add another day onto the end of the stay at the last minute, and Coleen accommodated me without hesitation. My pup came back happy and I could tell he LOVED Coleen. I definitely will call on her again!!

I am currently an open book and have much time to spare. I recently lost my dog to cancer. He was over 13 years old. I have moved from Charleston area and I’m currently looking to reside in upstate New York along the Hudson River eventually.. Often I travel between North Carolina and New York City .I’m looking to start sitting again for a Rover, if I happen to be in your area, I can most certainly do the job and look forward to it! I am freelance worker so my schedule is extremely flexible.
