About Colene S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their safety, comfort and well-being. I follow their specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special needs. I provide ample affection and attention, ensuring the pets feel secure and loved. I maintain a clean and organized environment, regularly tending to their grooming, litter boxes, or any other necessary tasks. I can also take care of very young animals.
Information Colene S. would like to know about your pet
Let me about any health issues or medical conditions the dog may have such as allergies, mobility limitations, or chronic illnesses. What is your dog's behavior and temperament. Are they friendly with strangers, other dogs, or children? Do they have any specific triggers or fears? Understanding their behavior helps us plan the walk and anticipate any potential challenges! Let me know if they need a certain amount of exercise and what their energy levels are. Also if they're leash trained and any harness requirements
A typical day
As a person pet sitting dogs, I would take them for walks to explore the downtown GR housing neighborhoods, visit dog-friendly parks for exercise and playtime!

Passionate nurturer of animals
Pet care experience
My authentic and heartfelt love for animals shapes my actions and fosters a genuine bond with them. I have pet sit and volunteered at pet shelters for over a decade and have always had animals in the house growing up and into my adult life. I have volunteered at farms and wolf sanctuaries as I got older. When the COVID 19 pandemic began, I fostered kittens for 2 years. I do my best to channel this love into action by seeking opportunities to make a positive difference in their lives!
