Pet care experience
Hi pet owners! Leave your precious pets with the best (aka me!). I am an experienced dog (and cat) sitter, and I am excited to spend some time taking care of your animal. During high school and college, I was a dedicated volunteer at LaMancha Animal Rescue, where I walked and took care of shelter dogs. My time at LaMancha taught me a lot about handling all personalities of dogs and how to make them feel safe and loved. My family and I also fostered a dog during the pandemic, which was an amazing and rewarding experience being able to provide love and care before he went off to his forever home. I am an extremely active person and would be thrilled to take your pup for long walks or even for a run while you are away. If exercise is not your dog’s vibe, I’m just as excited to sit around and give your dog some pets and lovin! I am dedicated and organized, so you can count on me to have clear communication and to follow up promptly. Looking forward to hopefully working with you!
Reviews
Caitlin was great with our dog!! She let him out right on time and took him for some good walks, and sent lots of pictures every time which we loved!!
Caitlin is a wonderful pet sitter! She is kind, responsible and a great communicator - always willing to send an update and a picture to let us know how things are going. Our dog can be nervous around new people, but it didn’t take her very long to warm up to Caitlin.
Caitlin is great with my pup — highly recommend her!
We couldn't have found a better person to watch our dog while we're away and highly recommend Caitlin for your pets. From the first introduction meeting we had with her, she completely took away the stress we had from leaving our highly anxious puppy. She's watched our dog multiple times now and we'll continue using her while we're away. Caitlin is a great communicator, very flexible with any arrangements/needs, and is great with pets!

I can also provide references upon request.

I love long walks and am an avid runner. I am comfortable taking pets to dog parks, on walks, on runs, or simply playing inside with toys.
