I can’t say enough good things about Caitlyn! I work a lot and sometimes have very long workdays if I have to do a double shift. Caitlyn always makes sure that my three dogs are happy and content. I have three dogs, two German shepherds and a Great Pyrenees. They can be a lot for people to handle sometimes but Caitlyn has done fantastic! I’d highly recommend for anyone else who wants their own pets taken care of like family!!

About: The kind of care your pets deserve. I’ve worked with every size & breed of dog since age 9, always had a four legged friend living with me, I can bathe, walk, even cook for your dog! Most importantly make them feel as important as you do! I'm a vet tech, therefore I WILL know what to do in case of emergencies, I'm first aid/CPR animal certified. College classes currently are online, I have everyday, all day available for your pet! Always home, if I have to run an errand I will most likely end up taking your pup with me for the company ☺️ I have a fenced backyard, and 3 fur babies to keep your pup company, your pet will get treated like royalty, my neighborhood has bike trails everywhere your dog and mine can explore on! I also provide car rides to Starbucks to get your pup, a puppachino!! 🐾 Absolutely NO smoking is allowed in my home, your pet will not be around that. Your pet will have the right to roam freely in my home as they do at yours, If you suggest a carrier or kennel I have some or can set one up if you request it! This is a female only home, if your pet is scared of males. I also do accept reactive/aggressive dogs, if your pet does not get along with others I can accommodate to separate my pets and yours during your stay with me. I'm currently doing online college classes, and have full home time availability, if for any reason I have an appointment or an errand I have to run, where your fur baby cannot come with me, I've got a sister just as obsessed with pets as I am. Although your fur baby will not be left alone anything more than 2 hours max. 2 story home with a fenced back yard, absolutely NO smoking in my home, female only household, and daily mental and physical stimulation! Wether I'm teaching new tricks or going on miles worth of a walk, your pet will be occupied. If the stay is in YOUR home, expect a thousand updates with pictures, videos, we can even video call. I will be at your house 24/7, and if any errand needs ran I will make sure your pet gets let out before or fed before, and as well as when I come back.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals. From pigs to cows. Sheep, goats, rabbits, hamsters, dogs, cats, fish, and more. I’ve seen and cared for so many animals growing up with a farm in the country and living in suburbs during school time! I know animals are too good for humans. Therefore I will do anything I can to always care and help animals in need. I can confidently say your animals is in safe hands :) As a college student, tending for my animals is a big responsibility. Feeding and maintaining the happiness of my pets is a great joy in my life. It is just a task that comes with caring for any animals. It is always worth the responsibility. Having two cats in my home allows for me to clean the litter box, provide food daily, take my cats for time outside, and to provide them with endless petting sessions. A clean environment ensures the pets happiness and well being.

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am available anytime after 10am every day! My apartment complex is very pet friendly! I also live near downtown so the fur babies and I can go on long or short beautiful walks!

Booked for dog walking and I am confident my dog also gives her 5 stars. My dog loved Ali immediately, first sight. Ali is attentive to her and clearly skilled with her. My dog is intelligent and PARTICULAR about leaving me. Notoriously bad at taking commands from strangers. When Ali arrived for just the second walk, my dog was loving her and ready to head out at the first sight of her. And my dog gets long walks every day the weather allows, so walking alone is not the draw here. Ali communicates beautifully with me as an owner, does great follow-up when she returns from the walk, and clearly loves what she does. No complaints in my house. I don't generally leave my dog care to anyone else, but Ali

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.

I've had Joey watch my dogs and my cats for the last several years when I've been out of town for over a week. He is the best! Goes the extra mile and plays with them in addition to making sure they have everything they need. He's reliable and conscientious and my dogs love him! :) And you know cats... They don't like anybody but they like him lol :) Highly recommend Joey!

About: I’ve had senior dogs, puppies, and the in-between. I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, cattle, chickens, and ducks and currently have 3 dogs & 3 cats of my own - I’m definitely an animal lover, through and through. Your fur baby will be extremely well taken care of! I’m currently working remote with extremely flexible hours, so I’m able to care for your fur babies throughout the day and night, or whenever you might need me! I have 3 sweet dogs who are cuddle bugs, and 3 cats who just lay around and hang out. We love to take our dogs for walks, go hiking, play in the back yard, spend some time inside with our plethora of dog toys, or go to our timber outside of town to let them run around and play!
