Pet care experience

Pet uncle for hire

Hi! I recently finished my graduate degree at NEU and I’ve found lately that my time spent with pets and my income are both sorely lacking since moving to Boston, so this app seemed perfect! I currently live with my cat Obi and have raised 2 dogs and 4 cats since I was a kid. I’ve also cleaned up animal poop in every conceivable location known to man so that shouldn’t be a problem. I have experience with handling larger / more “intense” pets (my neighbor’s dog is taller than me when standing up, and my dog Yoshi is a psychopath). I fully understand that sometimes it’s impossible to function as an adult and also give your pet the attention they deserve every day, so I’d be happy to help out when I can!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My first goal when I visit a pet is to make sure they are comfortable. If they are friendly I will give them attention for a while, but if they are a bit more timid I’ll be quiet and try to not disturb them. Once their well-being is checked I’ll proceed to do whichever tasks the owner has laid out for me (and play with them for a bit more afterwards).

Thank you for everything, Collin! Excellent communication and clearly a genuine animal lover. Felt at ease leaving the kitties in good hands!

Collin took great care of our dog Crosby! He was good at communicating with us during the booking process and made us feel secure with having him take care of Crosby. This was our first time using Rover since COVID started and since moving to Boston so finding someone we felt secure with was a big deal. We would love to have Collin take care of Crosby again.

Collin was great taking care of our cat while we were away. She can be a bit shy and often poops on the floor next to the litter box but he took care of everything no problem. He was communicative letting me know when he was stopping by, and cleaned up all the dirty spoons and dishes. Definitely would recommend!

Collin is great with dogs! He is very good at handling multiple dogs at once, and gives lots of love and affection to your pets. I highly recommend him as a dog walker or sitter.

Collin is shining star. He always shows so much care and joy when interacting with my dogs. Collin is my go-to walker for my dogs. I'd recommend him to anyone!
