Flexible, friendly, fun!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name’s Collin and I’d love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! I have lived with one or more dogs or cats my entire life. I'm always looking for a little bit of extra companionship and something to do in my free time and I can't think of a better way to do it than getting to spend time with pets of all shapes and sizes. I just love animals and they have always loved me. I have volunteered for the Missouri Humane Society walking and playing with all sorts of dogs, I also adopted a sweet baby kitten from them last September. I have also volunteered at shelters even before I moved here, and to petsit for friends for as long as I can remember. You can rest assured that I will treat your pet as if they were my own (we called my first dog growing up my younger brother and to this day, my whole family calls our pets our kids or our siblings). The hours, rates, etc listed are all flexible. I know it’s a hard time for everyone. Also, I dropped my phone a few weeks ago and have been having issues with my camera. That's why all my pictures are blurry, sorry! Contact me with any further questions or to request more information. Thanks for reading and I really hope to meet you and your pet soon.

Collin did a great job caring for our Moka! He sent photos, stayed in touch and was flexible with our schedule. Moka seemed to like staying with him - he’s our neighbor and she keeps going to his door! We would recommend Collin to anyone!

Collin has dog-sitted for me on multiple occasions when my family went on vacation. He also has had two family dogs over his lifetime that I know he loves and cares for. I would recommend him to take care of anyone's dogs.

Collin took great care of my puppy the first weekend I ever left her alone! I was nervous about leaving her by herself but he came in and not only took her out but played with her and sent me pictures of them snuggling. At first, the key to my apartment didn’t work smoothly and Collin went to my leasing office to make sure he could get in and take care of Armani. I’m so thankful he was caring enough to put forth the effort to get her and to take such great care of her while I was gone!

Worked with Collin for a few years at an animal shelter while I was a volunteer coordinator. He is GREAT with dogs! He loves dogs and they love him too. He even went the extra mile to get certified to walk some of the more challenging shelter residents. Also super considerate, responsible and punctual. Can't recommend him enough.

Information Collin G. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I have owned Bichons which are small dogs but I have been a sitter/best friend of breeds as big as German Shepherds and huskies. I have worked in an animal shelter and have no problem with large dogs... but I would like to know about their aggression and energy levels (i.e. would it be problematic to walk them on a busy sidewalk where they will encounter strangers). Also, I know this app isn’t super cat-friendly but if you’re a cat owner I’ve got you too.

A typical day

I am currently able to work from home so I am at home pretty much all day. If you are having to go back to work and you’re in the market for a pet sitter, I got you. I live in a building with a literal dog park two flights below me. I have a cat that loves dogs. If your dog (or cat) has a problem with cats you should take note of that. I know my pictures on my profile aren’t great but am happy to provide more. Have some phone camera issues. If the pictures make the difference then let me know.
