Pet care experience
I grew up with a "mutt" named Peanuts. Ironically, as an adult, our first "child" was a male dog named Peanut. Peanut became a certified therapy dog and was the love of our lives for over 12 years. After Peanut we rescued Simon, who was returned to his original adoption agency when his owners no longer wanted him. We got lucky! He was the sweetest dog ever. He earned his Canine Good Citizen certificate and his Therapy dog designation. I was so proud of him! Unfortunately he died of a brain tumor this past summer. We then rescued Nellie Belle, who is currently in training. My work hours are from 7-3:30. I can be at your house to let out, play, or walk your dog soon thereafter. On weekends I am very flexible! This additional money will help towards college expenses for my two adult children. Thank you for considering me to love and take care of your dog like he/she is my own.
Reviews
Colleen is absolutely wonderful. I feel so fortunate to have connected with her Maya! She provides a warm and loving environment. Maya is older and shy. She immediately took to Colleen and was comfortable right away. Colleen was sweet and sent me pictures of her feeling at home while in her care so that I was comfortable as it was Maya's first time with her! I will definitely reach out to her Colleen again and feel reassured that Maya will be well taken care of and loved! Thank you Colleen!
I highly and without reservations, recommend Ms. Colleen Graham to become a dog sitter for Rover.com. I have known Colleen Graham for 24 years as her supervisor, colleague and friend. She is reliable and exhibits a love of animals. Most of the time that I have known Colleen she has been a loving dog owner and has helped others when they have become first time dog owners. Her dogs have always been cared for and she even had one of her dogs trained to be a therapy dog. Professionally, as a School Counselor, Colleen has strongly advocated to use therapy dogs in a school setting. Additionally, Colleen is always looking out for pets to ensure they are safe. Many times, she has contacted police or stayed with a dog when she has witnessed them sitting in a hot/cold car unsupervised. Again, I highly recommend Ms. Colleen Graham.
