Passionate nurturer of animals
Pet care experience
An authentic and heartfelt love for animals resonates deeply within me, shaping my actions and fostering a genuine bond with these beloved creatures. 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 and cats for 2 years. I continue to be motivated to channel this love into action, seeking opportunities to make a positive difference in their lives and contribute to their well-being in meaningful ways.
Reviews
Colene did a great job. Very happy with the way she took care of my dog. Would certainly recommend.
Colene is great my frenchie is a stubborn dog and she handles her really well. Scout looks forward to her walks every day.
Colene is an excellent pet sitter! I have had her stay at my home and observed her genuine care for my pets. One of my pets is a skittish 10 lb pom, but her natural calm and quite demeanor gave him comfort and confidence. He enjoyed her company! And I enjoyed peace of mind knowing he was in good, caring hands!
Hello, My name is Debbie. I am the president of an animal rescue. This letter is in regards to the services that Colene provided for us. She was great as a foster mom with kittens and orphan cats needing new homes. She was very caring and treated all with respect and lots of love. She was excellent with socializing. The cats/kittens were in her care at her home until they were ready for their new homes. I would recommend her for pet sitting and to care for my pets.

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. Additionally, 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, provide mental stimulation and relaxation time to ensure their happiness and well-being.
