Simone Coleman of Nashville, TN is a pet sitter and
a natural lover of animals. She is also someone who is best
described as “the not so average girl next door”. Her vivacious
personality and appeal compliment her personality, skills that
assist her with operating her business, Petrospect Pet Sitting
Services.
After a career with the NBA and working for the
Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat franchise’s by providing season
ticket sales, Simone relocated back to Middle Tennessee. Soon her
love for animals and pets in particular would play a huge role in
her life.
With her business Petrospect, Simone specializes in
caring for larger breed dogs and those that may have a sense of
separation anxiety. Some of the services she offers are In Home –
Boarding (at the pet sitter’s home), In Home – Daycare,
Housesitting, Drop-in Visits, Dog Park Visits, Dog Walks, Pet
Photography, and Urgent/ On Call Pet sitting.
Simone shares, "My clients pets provide me with a second
dose of mental health therapy outside of my regular therapy
sessions. I’m able to not only provide a service to my clients with
exceptional pet care, but I provide myself with the service of
unconditional love from pets, every single day. Pets who are
dealing with separation anxiety are another reason I love what I
do, because I’ve learned through my own mental health therapy that
separation anxiety in pets is the exact same as loneliness in
humans. I do this full time, which means I’m at home enough during
the day to provide less loneliness for myself and my clients pets.
Even more, as a mental health advocate, I understand and appreciate
the value of the services I offer. I am a three time suicide
attempt survivor, and most of my clients don’t even know that a day
with their pet, is a day that I am less depressed, and is a day
that I have less to zero suicidal ideation. It’s a win, win
situation all the way around."
In the future, Simone hopes to continue providing a
more boutique style of in-home pet care for years to come.
Furthermore, she’s looking to implement a future endeavor that
would incorporate pets in more lives of those with mental health
issues. Contact Petrospect Pet Sitting Services today for all your
