Dog Love Available For Pet Sitting!

Pet care experience

* Fully vaccinated and boosted! I’m kind, determined, and energetic! I’m crazy about dogs and will shower your pet with love and affection. I truly do love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love providing a home-away-from-home for animals while their parents are away. I’ve been pet-sitting since high school, and in addition to that extensive experience, I worked at an animal shelter in my youth. Currently, I volunteer with a local dog-rescue organization, Best Friends NYC. Being a friend, guide, and helper to dogs in need has always been important to me. I’ve always had dogs in my home and have taken care of them, so I really missed that after moving to New York City by myself. Pet sitting is a great way for me to have dogs in my life, and to help owners have total peace of mind whenever they’re away. I devote lots of time to making sure that they’re content and happy, and to updating you with photos and texts to let you know how your dog is doing! I live in Hell’s Kitchen. I love the energy and the atmosphere. There are always people around, and it’s a very dog-friendly neighborhood. The river is a short walk away, and I live just ten minutes from two different dog parks. I’m also close to Central Park! And because my building has an elevator, dogs with mobility issues will be totally comfortable. I’m an actor, so when I’m not pet-sitting, I’m auditioning and performing. All this flexibility means that I can be an almost-constant companion to your pup! I love checking out local festivals and events in the city, and exploring new neighborhoods. I also love reading and classic films. You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger dog lover than me! My life is more complete when there’s a dog in it, and I love being able to provide one-on-one play, love, and care as a sitter. I love each and every dog that comes my way--and they love my energy, warmth, and playfulness.

Caitlin took great care of my Roxy girl ❤️ she was very communicative and sent daily updates & pics which made me feel much more comfortable leaving her. Roxy has some dog reactivity, and Caitlin handled it great and paid close attention to my specific instructions. Will definitely ask her to watch Roxy again!

Information Caitlin D. would like to know about your pet

I specialize in caring for bigger dogs and breeds that some kennels and doggy daycare services might turn away. That being said, I love dogs of all sizes! It’s incredibly important to me that every dog finds an environment where he or she can be themselves, so when we meet we’ll talk over all the details that will help me provide the best care. Because I’ve got so much experience with all sorts of dogs, you’ve really got nothing to worry about! That said, I’ll have plenty of questions about your dog’s habits and preferences, and at our meet-and-greet we’ll spend some time getting comfortable with each other to ensure the best possible transition.

A typical day

We’ll go on regular walks, enjoying the neighborhood and the friendly neighbors. While we’re out, we’ll go make friends at the dog park and play fetch. Back home, there will be time to cuddle and play with toys. I’ll devote time to making sure your dog feels totally comfortable in my space, but there’s never a dull moment--your dog and I will have a great time, and you’ll get lots of updates so you can join the fun from afar!
