Pet care experience

Animal lover and former zookeeper!

Hi! My name is Caitlin. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I’m a former zookeeper and have 10+ years of experience working with a wide variety of domestic and exotic animals including elephants, sea lions, hoof stock, otters, coyotes, and more! I would love to care for your dogs/cats/small animals (really any type of animal) for you while you are away and you can rest assured that your fur babies are in great hands. All sizes of dogs are welcome! Please feel free to reach out with any questions and let me know how I can help you. I am currently UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE the following requests for dog daycare and boarding: - Dogs with extreme anxiety accompanied by destructive behaviors when left alone for short periods of time. - Dogs that exhibit aggressive behaviors or extreme fear toward children & other dogs - Dogs over 20lbs that I am unable to meet ahead of time

Caitlin is one of the best fur babysitters I've had. Highly recommend her as she took great care of my babies and went above and beyond.

Caitlin was absolutely wonderful 💯 she treated my fur babies as her own ❤️ she is very reliable and so kind she was really good with my elderly mom. I'd pick her every time.

This was our first time using Rover and Caitlin gave us a great introduction. Her experience makes her great with animals. Our two dogs stayed with her for about a week, and Caitlin updated us frequently with pictures and updates. She has a great fenced in yard for the dogs to play, as well as ample clean and clear space in the house. All in all, it was a great experience and we were at ease during our entire vacation knowing that our dogs were being well taken care of. Thank you Caitlin!

We had a great experience with Caitlin as a sitter. She was able to accommodate our last minute request and made us comfortable about leaving our Bernedoodle in her care. With a fenced in yard she got lots of outside time and exercise. I’m sure we will be booking again in the future.
