Dog Trainer-Farm-Exotic-Aggressive

Pet care experience

Moving to PA at the end of April! Check out my fb page for Southern Approach Canine Coach! Soon to be CERTIFIED trainer through CATCH Academy. Medical experience and enrolled for CPR & first aid in Jan 24’. Insures through my OWN insurance. Rover is just a backup. Trainer for Black Forest Dog Resort. Check out my fb page for more recommendations, reviews, videos of training and more! My goal is to make everyone as comfortable as possible! Im aware just how hard it can be to leave your pets with a trusted pet sitter. I send TONS of videos and pictures; but have been known to FaceTime you hehe! I want you both comfortable🤍 I’m a positive trainer through CATCH academy but have trained for YEARS prior. I was a special needs nanny for 8 years. Any dogs in the house would be a different animal by the time we parted ways. I truly LOVE this field. I am an experienced animal enthusiast. **I am comfortable with aggressive dogs!** I have worked with various with dogs, cats, reptiles, venomous critters, rodents, avian, and more. I’ve taken care/trained animals since I was a child. Even as far as working at reptile stores and volunteering at shelters. I have trained, rode, and worked horses. I had cattle, sheep, chickens & other farm animals! Caring for animals has been instilled in me from a very young age. I was taught to treat animals with respect and when you do, you will discover the purest love you could ever find! I can also offer my Facebook page for you to see the reviews as I work off of there mainly. Either way! Thanks for taking the time to read my book! Hope to hear from you and your furry babies!

Caitlin was wonderful housesitting our 3 German Shepherds! Our girls can have a tough time trusting new people but they took to Caitlin right away and she knew just how to handle them. It was great knowing that our girls were in good hands while we were gone.

Caitlin took great care of our cat while we were out of town. She played with Millie and sent some great photos! When our flight got cancelled and we had to be gone another day she was able to take care of Millie. We appreciated her flexibility! Would recommend her and will definitely use her the next time we are out of town!

Caitlin is a rockstar, from the very moment we first reached out, all the way to the moment we got home, she was communicative, flexible, and attentive to all of our pets nuances. We were gone for a couple weeks and every day we were given updates with photos and videos of our pets. Caitlin went above and beyond in so many ways, even spending the holidays sitting in our home. Words cannot describe how happy we are with this experience and Caitlin. I’m sure like others, leaving our pets for so long with someone is one of the toughest things we’ve had to do and wanted to know we are leaving them with someone that will love and care for them as we would ourselves, and Caitlin definitely did that and made sure everyday we were gone we knew that. Thank you soooo much. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Caitlin.

Caitlin was amazing watching our two dogs while we were out of town! Our older dog is a nervous wreak and she was amazing with communicating with me and sending lots of photos! Grateful for her cleaning up the *many* messes our older dog left for her and for making sure they were settled and mentally stimulated! Will absolutely be contacting her in the future for when we are in need of a sitter.

In the clients home we’re out for a walk or potty break by 6am the latest. Then it’s onto breakfast! Usually I love to work with them on games, searching, snuffle mats, etc We try to go on two walks a day, sometimes that doesn’t happen so we play instead! Lots of times if I’m staying at your home we sit outside while I study or read, we snuggle if they like to, and more! If I’m not and just dropping in, my last time to do so is 11pm! So only 7 hours overnight will they have to hold anything! Other than that; 4 hours max! Boarding isn’t offer atm; so I won’t even get into it.

Information Caitlin B. would like to know about your pet

I need to know the bad and ugly for me to be able to properly care for your pet. No judgement. I’m here to help! I’d love to know if there are any special needs your dogs need! Whether they’re reactive to certain things or what they fear is very helpful with walks so we can work past it and not make the issue worse!

A typical day

Our typical day is quite busy! We love to go on walks, hikes, we play search games, lots of mental stimulation, toys, interactive activities, and more!
