Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Collin. I'm very hard working, reliable, and extremely passionate about dogs. I'd love to meet you and your dog--and become your go-to pet sitter! The first thing you need to know is that I am experienced and I love spending time with animals in any capacity. I am very equipped to handle dogs who are very friendly to those who show aggressive behavior (whether it be food aggression or territorial/dominance behavior). I grew up having a dog who was very friendly when he was a puppy and then became very territorial as he got older. I know a lot about animal behavior-- I learned from my animal behaviorist--as well as volunteering at PAWS Chicago. For dog/house sitting, I am very clean and will keep things extremely tidy. I guarantee that my client's dog(s) will get plenty of exercise, attention, and praise. I'll treat them just like you do! I am very active, so if your dog loves to go on runs, I'd be happy to take them out with me. I'm also happy to take them on adventures like on a hike, to the dog park, or to the beach! You and your dog will love me because I am a great friend. I'll try to be a light in your dog's life--and in your as well! I promise to go above and beyond while your dog is in my care. The comfort of your pet and you are of the utmost importance. If you want updates during your trip, I'm happy to send them your way so you can see how much fun we're having. I'd love to set up a meet and greet so we can all get to know each other! Please reach out to me if you think I'd be a great fit.
Reviews
I'm overwhelming thankful to have had Collin take care of my dog. Collin has a great, positive attitude, he is respectful of his surroundings and has a natural love for animals. Over the two weeks that Collin took care of my dog he stayed in constant contact with me., and I could tell from photo's that my dog was happy, having fun and loving her time as well.
Scrappy is always so happy when he gets to see Collin and we know he’ll be loved and well taken care of, especially when we have to go out of town
Collin went above and beyond while caring for my dog Mac at my home. He was very, very communicative and I can tell that he wholeheartedly cared about Mac's wellbeing. Additionally, my home was spotless when I arrived home which I greatly appreciated! Collin is the FIRST person I would reach out to for caring for Mac again. Thank you very much Collin for doing such a wonderful job!
Collin is very friendly. Pippi definitely enjoyed him staying with her. Collin took her out for two walks. He sent text updates with photos and details of what she's been upto. I will definitely use his services again in the future. I highly recommend him.
About Collin S.

Skills
Information Collin S. would like to know about your pet
Before dog sitting your canine companion, I would love to know the following: 1. How old is your dog? 2. Are they frightened of anything while going on walks? 3. Has your dog ever shown any aggressive behavior either towards other dogs or pedestrians? 3a, Are there any particular dogs in your neighborhood that your dog does not like? 4. What's your dogs favorite thing to do? (i.e. go to the dog park, the dog beach, running, going on hikes, etc.)
A typical day
Your dog will enjoy walks through historic neighborhoods of Chicago, parks, and the Lakefront trail. I'll take your dog to parks to play ball and go to dog parks to really make sure your best friend stays socialized. I'll be sure to introduce myself politely to your furry friend so that we can be fast friends.
