Counselor w/an aura dogs can sense

Pet care experience

I am a mental health counselor who is warm, loving, and kind hearted in general and with animals especially. I have two dogs of my own (cocker spaniel and cocapoo who no longer stay with me) and have always had a dog throughout my life that I always consider to be like my children; I began dog-sitting on Rover over a year ago and absolutely loved it! I've recently moved to Belfast from New York and would love to continue providing services here, not only because I love to help others, but also after moving to a new place on my own can get lonely and I love the company of animals =] Most, if not all, dogs immediately love me or can warm up to me quickly; I believe they can sense the gentleness in me when we meet. I always have been responsible for my own dogs including feeding, playing, walking, training etc. and am competent with others' pets as well. I’m very adaptable to both energetic dogs and dogs who love to just hang and cuddle 💜 Outside of taking walks as needed, I do have a small garden in the back where your dog can enjoy sitting out in fresh air if they need to stay by me. I am working from home remotely doing video sessions based in New York, so please don't hesitate to reach out regarding schedule because I am off Saturday-Monday, and there may be times I have long periods of break between sessions even on work days; this is also helpful if any dogs need boarding to know I will be here all day as well as knowing I can work from your home as well even on work days if you prefer me to stay at your home. Due to the time difference with my schedule I normally don't start sessions until the afternoon so am generally free before lunch times if you need me to stop by for a quick walk, feed, or visit; in general I can be fairly flexible. I hope to hear from you soon!

We booked Cait to look after our dog Rusty and she was fantastic! She kept us updated on how he was getting on every day and he had a great time. Highly recommended by me, some random guy on the internet.

Cait was absolutely brilliant looking after our wee rescue dog Lola who needs a calm and reassuring presence around her due to some anxiety issues. I am always very anxious and worried about leaving my dog behind when going on holidays, but Cait put my mind at ease from the very first moment she walked into the house and met Lola for the first time. Through updates and pictures, I was assured that my dog was very well looked after and got the affection and care she needed. We arrived home to a calm, happy dog and a house that looked cleaner than before :) Cait is a warm and kind person and I could not have been happier having her staying in our house and looking after my beloved pup. I definitely recommend Cait and will look forward to having her looking after Lola again!

This was our second time using Cait to look after Milo. She is an experienced dog sitter which we appreciated given Milo is a rescue dog and can be anxious. She continued his feeding and walking routines and sent regular and reassuring updates and pics while we were away. Strongly recommend Cait for her calm, organised and affectionate care of Milo.

Information Cait G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs or concerns you have for your pet so that I can let you know honestly about my confidence in taking care of them in the way that they need. Also would love to know a bit about the dog's temperament so I have reasonable expectations as to whether they may have some anxiety with new people/their parents gone.

A typical day

Your pet and I can take nice walks through Ormeau Park any times it may stay by me as it is about 5 minute walk from my home. I love to play with pups even around the house with just some messing around, and also love a good cuddle for any dogs that enjoy it and allowed up on the furniture!

My schedule varies weekly based on how many clients I have that day/week, cancellations, and etc., so there is always a chance I may be free during the days and times you need. The absolute earliest I begin work is 1pm Tuesday-Friday (but sometimes later) so I can almost always be free if you need a drop in to feed or walk your pet while you are at work, and I am off every Saturday/Sunday/Monday.
