Pet care experience
I am a dedicated dog walker and pet caregiver who is constantly learning and continuing my education to learn about dog/animal behavior. In the past, I have been an apprentice to a well-known certified professional dog trainer in the Lake area who has taught me so much in regards to improving walks, dog body language, and understanding behavior in general. It's an on-going, never-ending learning process! I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, a guinea pig, and a variety of farm animals, however I do not believe that just being around animals for years makes one a great caregiver. I strive to make sure my clients have a stress free time with me, whether that is through exercise, play, or lots of belly rubs! I strive to provide you updates, as well as photos! I'm lucky to meet such beautiful animals, give them and their people peace of mind while away from each other, and build relationships in the community. For in-home visits, I happy to drop in for 30 minutes to check on your pet(s). For walks, we can do up to 30 minutes each walk for your dog(s). Limit 2 dogs per walk for safety reasons. (((I do have a moderate cancellation policy, please review the details before booking.))) (I do not and will not walk a dog with a choke, prong, or electric collar. If your dog can wear a harness, your dog can walk on a leash, but just might need help getting there. I can recommend a great trainer who has been in the field for over a dozen years to help you with that! :) "Be the person your dog already thinks you are!" There is an additional charge for dog walks, pet sitting and other services on the day of and days surrounding the following holidays: Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve Day, Christmas, New Year's Eve Day, New Year's Day. Other dates may qualify for additional holiday charges.
Reviews
Cait is great! I needed a last minute booking due to a change in work schedule and she was able to take care of my Siberian Husky who definitely needed the exercise and attention! Will be booking again soon for drop ins on a new pup! ?❤
Our Tes enjoys her visits and walks with Cait. She takes good care of her and is very accommodating to our changing schedule. We are very glad we chose her and will continue to use her in the future
This is our first time using Rover. Cait made us feel very comfortable. Tes enjoyed her.
I love Cait. She does amazing work and i will be booking her again.

Information Cait C. would like to know about your pet
TRAVELS TO AREAS OUTSIDE OF L.C.: I do not travel outside of Lake Charles, this includes Moss Bluff, Sulphur, Iowa, etc. However, I will try to recommend a sitter for you if you are outside of my range. NEED TO KNOW: I have no breed preferences or discrimination. However, if you know about certain triggers for your dog, I would like to know this in order to maintain a schedule around your pet if he/she does not do well with meetings dogs or people while leashed on walks. I never let another dog or person approach a client's dog for safety reasons, even if your dog loves other dogs, I do not want to put anyone at risk. I am willing to work with you to make sure you have peace of mind while your pet is in my care. Open and honest communication between both parties is key. I believe in what is best for the animal and strive to have their needs, physical and mental health, and safety always at the top of the list when considering booking a client.
A typical day
Walks: I choose to walk in neighbourhoods with sidewalk access for the dog's safety as well as mine. At this time, I am not insured to take your dog in my vehicle to a destination to be walked. Playtime: I try to find out what activities the pet likes best, what their favorite toy is, or favorite spot to be scratched so I can build a strong relationship with them!
