Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong petsitter, new on Rover
I’ve never known life without animals. I grew up caring for dogs, cats, chickens, a pig, and horses, and have been responsible for animal care in some form since I was around six. Today, I have three dogs and three cats of my own, including two dogs under 1.5 years old, so I’m very comfortable with puppy energy, training routines, enrichment, walks, and consistency. I also have experience caring for senior pets, cats and dogs with different medical needs, and animals who need a little more patience or structure. I’m comfortable giving oral and injected medications, following detailed feeding and medication schedules, and noticing when something seems off. I’m also very active and love hiking, so I’m happy to tailor exercise to the dog in front of me — whether that means a relaxed neighborhood walk, a longer adventure, extra sniffing and enrichment, or helping a high-energy dog burn off some steam. What I bring most is a lot of real-life animal experience, patience, and attention to detail. I know the small things matter when someone else is caring for your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and take the time to understand their specific needs, personality, feeding schedule, medications, exercise preferences, and any household rules before care begins. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pets and the space, and I’m careful about things like doors, gates, leashes, food, medications, and anything else that could affect safety. I also pay close attention to behavior and changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, or anything that seems unusual. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how things are going. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and as close to their usual routine as possible while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
We are forever grateful that we found Caitlin! We needed someone trustworthy to stay in our home while taking care of our sweet dog, Bella. Caitlin has been Bella’s dog sitter several times in our home and we couldn’t recommend her more! We are vegan and it was really nice to also have a vegan sitter in our home. We knew that Bella loved her and you can honestly tell that Caitlin is a true animal lover! 💚
Caitlin is the most dedicated animal lover that I know, and that love has translated into a life dedicated to animal care and safety. Caitlin has provided top-notch care for dogs, cats, pigs, horses, cows, chickens and animals of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds. I’ve seen her train more dogs than I can count with a positive, loving approach (and I’m talking FAST learning). She has taught me and countless others how to administer medications through shots, oral and topical solutions. Whether you’re looking for a loving companion for your dog/cat or a fabulous caretaker for a farm full of animals, she is the best choice. There is no job too large for Caitlin and she has set the standard for animal care.
Caitlin is a consummate professional when caring for pets and households. She is incredibly responsive and communicative in both the planning process and during stays. She is on time and prompt, asks great questions and centers her care deeply around the needs of our pets and our family's preferences. Caitlin has cared for our elderly dogs who have been on very specific medical regiments, as well as our brand new puppy (she taught him to sit in 2 hours!). Her experience spans a wide variety of animals and needs and her care and dedication to her craft can be seen in all she does. She is someone I trust implicitly with my pets and my home and will continue to use her services in perpetuity as we need them. If you genuinely want to know your pets and your home are being well taken care of, hiring Caitlin is the best decision you could make.
I've worked with Caitlin for decades and highly recommend her pet care services! I really appreciate her professionalism, responsibility, kindness, and deep respect for animals and their individual needs. And while recently I've hired her to care for my three cats, I have also hired her to care for dogs of all sizes, plus a pig, birds, rats, hamsters, ducks, chickens, and horses. (Check with her first on which animals she is currently able to offer services for, though.) Anyway, my three cats love Caitlin and always look forward to seeing her, even if she is just doing daily check-ins while I am out for short periods. If you're looking for someone who truly cares for and respects animals, Caitlin is your person!

Schedule
I am self-employed and work from home M-Th, so I can work anywhere and have long weekends. My work days are completely on my own schedule, so I have time for potty breaks, walks, play time, or drop in visits whenever needed. I'm happy to help with your pets on any schedule.

- I’d love to know about any personality quirks, behavioral concerns or triggers, socialization preferences, and your pet’s typical energy level. The more I know about what makes them comfortable (or uncomfortable!), the better I can tailor their care and keep things safe and low-stress.
