Cat sitters in Collinsville, IL
With over two years of experience, I've become a trusted pet sitter for dogs and cats. I've cared for multiple pets at once, including three dogs and two cats, for extended periods. Your furry friends will receive attentive and loving care while you're away, ensuring they feel comfortable and happy in their own home.
I have been a pet sitter and walker for about 2 years. I have done overnight stays and pop ins throughout the day! I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small other animals (hamsters, rabbits,
