New buddy for your furry companion!
Pet care experience
Hello! Thank you for considering me as your pet's walker/sitter. I recently completed graduate school and am working from home full-time. I bring more than ten years of experience dog-sitting for my neighbors and uncle while he is away on frequent work trips. The dogs I have cared for range from various ages (including a senior dog). I have stayed overnight at my uncle’s home to care for his dog while also helping out with light housekeeping such as watering plants and bringing in mail. I enjoy bringing the dogs I sit to urban off-leash dog parks and on hikes. I also have experience dog-walking in various environments including busy city streets and residential neighborhoods. Additionally, I have taken care of my neighbor's cats while they are on vacation, dropping in to change water, provide food, and clean the litter box. I am flexible, accommodating, and punctual! My goal is to provide the best care for your pet so that you can go about your activities worry-free. Thank you for considering me as your pet's walker/sitter!
Reviews
Kolena was very responsive and communicative. Willing to do meet and greet so Poppy would be comfortable. Very thorough with Poppy's care and tendencies. Received daily updates. Would definitely use again. Thanks so much.
Kolena was a great sitter! Definitely recommend her. Thanks for taking care of Coconut!
My family and I are new to the area and needed someone to take care of my older chihuahua, Oona, while I went out of town for a few days. We were so very lucky to find Kolena. Kolena was absolutely a dream! The instant I dropped Oona off at her house, I was instantly comforted by Kolena’s kind and gentle demeanor. Oona took to her immediately. Kolena sent frequent updates with pics
Kolena was amazing with my pupper. She sent periodic updates and pictures and was very sweet and caring with him. Will definitely request her services in the future again
