Dog Sitting in Collinsville

About: I have had a lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for many different types. Growing up, I helped rescue animals and learned the importance of patience, compassion, and responsible care. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of animals ranging from chickens to horses, which gave me experience with different needs, temperaments, and daily routines. My love for animals also led me to participate in 4-H and FFA, where I continued developing my animal care skills and knowledge. Over the years, I’ve cared for multiple dog breeds including a pitbull, shih tzu, poodle, husky, and German shepherd, and I currently have two miniature goldendoodles that I walk and care for every day. Through these experiences, I’ve become very comfortable working with animals of all sizes and personalities, and I truly enjoy providing them with attentive, loving, and reliable care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and availability. I work evenings at my other job, which allows me to provide pet care services during the morning and afternoon. This flexible schedule makes it easy for me to walk, feed, and check in on animals one to three times per day as needed. I also have Thursdays off and most weekends available, giving me even more time to dedicate to longer walks, playtime, and consistent care. Because I already walk my own dogs daily, incorporating additional pets into my routine is something I am comfortable with, and I am committed to providing reliable, attentive care that fits each animal’s individual needs. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of toys and space for them to play and stay active. I make sure they receive lots of attention, regular potty breaks, fresh water, and follow any feeding or care routines provided. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment by playing with them, giving them plenty of attention, and maintaining their normal routine. I also make sure they are cleaned up well, have fresh water at all times, and that their space is kept tidy so they feel happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: Hi, I’m Amaya! I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly love caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I love teaching them tricks, going on walks, and making sure they feel safe and loved. I also have years of experience working at a pet boarding facility and volunteering at our local animal shelter, so I’m confident handling dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether it’s snuggles, playtime, or structured care, your pets will be treated like family with me! I work part-time at a restaurant, so my shifts aren’t the same every week. But no worries—I update my Rover calendar regularly, and I’m great at swapping shifts last-minute if I can. Just let me know your dates and I’ll make room for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I currently live with three cats and three dogs, so I don’t offer boarding or in-home pet care at this time to ensure a calm, controlled environment for everyone. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop-in visits and walks, and I take great care to follow your instructions, routines, and preferences exactly as you leave them. I always treat pets and their spaces with the same respect I give my own. Whether I’m stopping by for a quick potty break or taking your pup for a walk, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving experience every time.

“Megan is the best! She’s reliable and loves all animals!! I will be using her again without hesitation!”

About: I've had my own cats for almost 6 years, I've volunteered at the Belleville Area Humane Society for around 4 months, and I do occasional dogsitting and housesitting for family friends when needed. I have a summer job that starts on May 26th, and I have training from 9-4 on May 17th and 23rd. I'm unsure of which days I'll be working yet, so I will let you know when I can what my schedule will be. I will be completely free on weekends aside from outside events. I appreciate detailed instructions on any specifics needed when caring for your pets, such as medications, feeding times, bathroom breaks, regular walks, or any other schedule they need.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and have been taking care of them since I was able to. I also would help my neighbors as a kid when they would go out of town. I have two dogs now and love them to death. I’m can walk, feed, bathe, and play with your pet. I am working when I am a free. So your pets care would be my first priority after getting up in the morning. If need over night that would work perfectly. If you have a fenced In yard. I would still go outside with them and have some play time if they would like. Also if we had to take them on a walk I would follow what the animal would like. I will take care of your pet just like they are my own.

About: Dogs are our family, and I understand that small breeds have their own quirks and attention needed. I have been a small dog owner for over a decade and have experience with administering medication. I have a highly flexible schedule because I am retired from the Air Force. Your dog will receive my undivided attention because I only accept one client at a time. I promise that In terms of walks, feedings, and playtime, I can adapt to any schedule your dog may require. My primary goal is to ensure that your pet is familiar with his/her environment. In addition to minimizing stress and keeping the pet's normal routine intact. Safety is also a high priority for me while caring for your fur baby. I will ensure to keep you updated with photos.

About: I've watched pets for friends and family since I was a teenager. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and cats and will love them like they are my own. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby. I am currently a stay at home spouse and looking for ways to make extra income doing something I love. I am extremely flexible with my schedule and will make the time to make things work. I have a cat that is not friendly with other cats(not sure about dogs), so can only take requests for drop-in or walking for the time being. I have walked and pet sat for several clients with bigger dogs and that have special needs and am comfortable with them all. I do always try and do a meet and greet before our first visit so your pet can get to know me before they are left alone with me.

“I could tell from the moment we met Ashely our girls were in good hands. She was so thoughtful getting to know them and their routine. It clearly showed, how the girls weren’t even phased mom and dad were gone. Her notes made me feel at ease and like I was there. Thank you for making your way into the cheese family!”

About: Can help take care of big dogs, and can play with dogs all day. Cats I can give them their space or play with them as needed. Rover is a summer side job for me to fund my college and stay active. And I love playing and being with dogs and cats. When it comes to walking or at home care, I have the experience and care to work out all sorts of trouble or problems with dogs and cats.

About: I have 3 dogs and 1 cat that were all babies when we adopted them! An old neighbor of mine used to work for a shelter and I would help her out with the puppies! I currently work a full-time job in St. Louis but am free in the evenings and on weekends! I always make time for my furry friends. I always take the important, necessary precautions with my animals. For one, I have an indoor cat that loves to try to go outside so I am very observant of my surroundings when opening doors to outside. I also always have my dogs on leashes whenever they are outside!
