Safety, trust & environment

I don’t watch pets in my own home except in case of emergencies (my cats won’t allow it!). When at your house, I follow all instructions and make sure your pet gets their normal routine/schedule so they feel comfortable.

Information Caitlin C. would like to know about your pet

Let me me about any needs your pets have - medication, set walk times, special treats etc. How your pets behaves on walks and how they feel about other animals and strangers is very useful. House information that’s appreciated includes parking information, how kitchen appliances work, anything useful to know about the house or neighborhood etc.

A typical day

A typical day depends on what your pet likes and normally does! Based on what you tell me, this will generally include playtime and snuggle time (lots of pets). We can do long walks if your dogs like that, or short ones if they prefer! I love taking lots of pictures of pets and will send those to you too.

Cat-owner & lifelong dog lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Caitlin, a full-time professor and a part-time pet caregiver/lover. I grew up in a house with several dogs (Cotons de Tulear), and I've been a pet-sitter and dog-walker since 2017. I currently have two delightful and spoiled rescue cats at home. I'll go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels loved and has a good experience! I enjoy walks but also love playing and snuggling with your pet if they like that too. I primarily work from home so can be flexible around timing.

Caitlin was truly amazing! She was great with communication and sent lots of pictures. I could tell by looking at the pictures that my puppy was extremely happy and getting lots of love and cuddles. Can’t wait to use Caitlin again in the future!

Lula had another great stay with Caitlin! My cat is very anxious and can be resistant to visitors, but Caitlin works so well with her. She really takes the time to make sure my cat is comfortable during her visits.

Caitlin goes above and beyond for my cats. Recently she was very supportive and helpful when my senior cat had some GI issues while I was away. They clearly adore her and she is very responsible.

This was our first time using Rover and it was great. Caitlin was stellar, a true pet whisperer, who sent reassuring texts, pics, video of our cat that were greatly appreciated. Yay! Happy cat and happy owners! Thank you, Caitlin!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
