About: I have owned all kinds of pets my whole life! Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, etc… besides that, I’ve also volunteered at many animal shelters! I frequently pet sit for friends and family with all kinds of furry family members! I’m currently in school, and entering my sophomore year! I’m home for the summer, and looking for something I know I would love to do! I have very open availability, and I’m willing to come to you! Even though I’d love to bring your furry friends home with me, I have to put the well being of my doggy first in her home. Regardless, I’ve learned to read animals fairly well, and I’m able to give them all of my attention, or all the space- whatever they need! At home, we have one German Shepherd who does everything with me! From going on walks, to going to get a coffee, she never leaves my sight! I am completely prepared to give the same love to any animal!!
About: I'm an incurable animal lover, and have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, fish, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and ponies. I have had a lifetime of close, loving relationships with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I'm a recently retired naturalist and am a wildlife biologist by degree. I've had dogs and cats for pets all of my life. My most recent pet was a beautiful lab mix, Tucker. He was my best friend and constant companion for 13 years but recently crossed the rainbow bridge. So I have plenty of free time, and am ready to spoil your pet with lots of love and fun! I can visit your pet in your home up to 3 times daily to walk, feed, play and cuddle as needed by your fur baby. I can also stay overnight, or I can bring your pet to stay with me at my lake house.
About: Hi there! I am currently the Executive Director of our local animal shelter. Prior to that position I worked at a spay/neuter vet clinic for 5 years in Indianapolis. Total animal welfare experience of over 10 years! I would be glad to stop by your house to care for your pets while you are at work/vacation or take your dog for a walk. While I am unable to stay overnight at your house while you are away for an extended period of time, I am willing to stop by several times during the day and before bed to care for your house and animals! I am very experienced in handling all different types of dogs (and kitties). I have bathing experience and am trained in giving medications. I would be happy to show off my impressive resume :) Additionally, I have two dogs of my own, two cats, and 3 children. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover ever since I can remember. I can remember begging my mom if I could pet every dog we passed on the street, emptying out my piggy bank every month for the local animal shelter, and writing all my school reports on dogs. Throughout school I was a volunteer at local shelters, in college I was the student Volunteer Coordinator for the local shelter, and now I work as the Director of our local shelter! Dogs (and cats) are my life! My experience administering medication Yep. I have lots of experience. I am flexible and can work around your schedule! I am not available between the night hours of 9pm-7am but daytime I am free to help! Stress free is important! I like to stick as closely to the routine as they are used to with their owners. I will update owners as often as they’d like!
“Caitlin was great with my dog. Izzy loved her walks and even enjoyed pets which can sometimes take Izzy longer to accept. I highly recommend Caitlin. Izzy will love to see her again.”

Barbara T.
“Barbara took care of my 3 pets (2 cats and a dog) frequently over the last 20 years both in my home and at hers. She navigated a variety of complicated care instructions including giving medication and managing special diets. I could always feel confident that she would give my animals the level of care, attention, and love that I would myself and they were always happy to be with her. She's great about sending updates, pics, and vids to let you know things are going great which is a huge comfort when you're away from your fur babies.”
Janet S.
“I cannot recommend Janet enough! She is truly passionate about animal care and I trust her completely to care for my most precious babies! She has several years experience caring for animals professionally, and her qualifications are unmatched. In addition, Janet is reliable, thorough, trustworthy, and prompt. I have zero concerns when I leave my pets in her care, and I know they are getting the same quality of love and attention from her as they would get from me.”
