Pet care experience
Not just a sitter
Hi thanks for considering me for the care of your tiny baby! I’ve been pet sitting full time in the Sarasota/Bradenton/Tampa area (I am now in Gainesville, FL) for over 4 years now but in that time I’ve met over a dozen new families! It feels crazy that I've made lifelong connections with something that was just supposed to be part time. (If you can’t tell I LOVE my job and enjoying connecting and caring for every new family.🥰 ) I took about a year off, only pet sitting for my regulars but now that I'm settled into Gainesville I'm opening my schedule for new clients! As much as I love cuddling and playing trust is everything and if you have an especially anxious pup or just mistrusting, I can give them the space they need and show them they can trust this new person in their house by taking things at their speed. I'm in no rush. Will work with your schedule. I’m great for last minute plans so you don’t have to worry about where your baby is going or if they’ll get enough loving while you’re away. :) I like to live an active lifestyle walking at the beach or finding a new trail. As far as a daily routine I like to adapt to whatever the dog or cat's schedule is but at the end of the night love ending up on the couch cuddling watching tv! I’m here to make sure your loved one feels loved while in your absence. For any questions or if you’d just like to get to know me a little more please feel free to message!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety for me and you pet is always going to be number one over everything. If a dog or cat feels unsafe, things can only go down from there. The key is to give a fearful or uncomfortable pet SPACE and let them come to me.
Ratings and reviews
There are no words to describe how fantastic Cailynn was with my 2 cats. My cats were undergoing a stressful time, just having been moved to a new state and grieving the loss of their brother. I was distraught at the thought of leaving them for a week to close the sale of our old home. Cailynn came to meet them in advance and immediately put me and them at ease. She is such a calm and steady presence. She knew exactly what to do and sat calmly on the floor to allow them to approach her even though she was excited to meet them. She quickly won over their confidence before I left the house. Despite being an overprotective pet mom and having extra anxiety due to the recent loss of one, I was able to leave for a week and do what I needed to with full confidence that they were being well cared for. Cailynn sent pictures and videos daily. I could easily tell from the photos and videos that they were relaxed and comfortable with Cailynn. It gave me so much peace of mind to see their relaxed posture and happy faces playing, being brushed and comfortably sleeping in the open, even laying up against her while she studied. I did not expect for us to all be so happy and comfortable with someone we just met, but both cats took to Cailynn right away and were sad to see her leave. I would recommend her to any cat parent and dog parents too. She’s calm, mature and responsible. She clearly loves animals and asked all the right questions to make sure they had a successful week. I am going to book with Cailynn again soon.
Cailynn was wonderful with my pups and house! I came home to my house perfect just as I had left it. All my animals were clearly well cared for and she was great with communication. I will definitely be in contact with her for future trips!
Cailynn was awesome with our doggies - and they are no picnic! On time and communicative, left the place clean, dogs were happy. Highly recommend!
I would definitely recommend her, she’s so sweet. When we went to go drop off our dog she was so excited to meet him. She updating updating us how he was doing all day and the next day.! she’s amazing! I think we found our forever dog sitting.?
She seems to always be excited to meet new furry friends and looks forward to care for our dog when we go away for a weekend.
Cailynn has such a great passion for animals and would be good fit and will mesh with any animal that she comes in contact with.

Schedule
Since I do this full time my schedule is according to my client's pretty simple. On my days off though I still like to keep a routine sleeping until my cat cries for wet food, stretching, and journaling every single morning. Throughout the week I do strength training and am taking an online bookkeeping class.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsDogs over 1 year oldCailynn can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Before dog sitting we’ll set up a meet where I’ll come over to meet with the family (usually at your house since that’s where I'll be staying/ where your pet is most comfortable but sometimes outside is better depending on the pet). We’ll then go over any medications, behavior for each pet, and eating/walking schedule, and basically let the dog or cat meet me so that when I come to watch them I'm not a complete stranger!
