Safety, trust & environment
In my clients' homes, I prioritize creating a comfortable and familiar environment for their pets. I follow each pet's specific routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and playtime. I ensure they have fresh water and a clean living space. For pets with medical needs, I administer medications and monitor their health closely. I provide plenty of attention, affection, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and relaxed. Regular updates and communication with clients are also a key part of my service, ensuring they have peace of mind while away.
Information Caitlin D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, it's crucial for me to know their daily routine, dietary needs, and any medical conditions or medications they require. Understanding their temperament, likes and dislikes, and any specific behavioral tendencies helps me tailor my care to their individual needs. Additionally, knowing their favorite activities, toys, and comfort items ensures I can provide a familiar and enjoyable experience. Information about any anxieties or fears, such as loud noises or being left alone, is also important to ensure their well-being and comfort.
A typical day
When caring for pets, I love engaging them in activities that match their interests and energy levels. For dogs, this might include playing fetch, going for walks or runs, visiting dog parks, and practicing obedience training or fun tricks. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys, laser pointers, and providing cozy spots for lounging and exploring. I also ensure they have ample time for cuddles and affection. My goal is to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated, ensuring they have an enjoyable and enriching experience while their owners are away.

Premium Pet Sitting You Can Trust
Pet care experience
With over a decade of experience in pet care, I have a deep passion for ensuring the well-being and happiness of animals. I have worked at a shelter-run cat cafe and adoption center, where I provided medical care to cats and facilitated adoptions. I also currently volunteer weekly at The Cat Connection in Brighton. In addition to my professional experience, I have been cat sitting and dog sitting for the past 10 years, offering reliable and compassionate care. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of trustworthy and loving pet sitting services.

Reviews
Caitlin is a fantastic dog sitter. Shadow was completely at ease when we handed her over to Caitlin, and also when we arrived back home after our week long trip. Caitlin was able to establishing a bond with our dog, and Shadow felt comfortable and safe right from our first meet and greet. Caitlin was sure to ask all the right questions about Shadow’s routines and house sitting details. We felt confident that both our house and especially our dog were in good hands while we were away. We received lots of updates from Caitlin, and the house was in perfect condition upon our return. Shadow seemed even more healthy and happy when we got back. All in, having Caitlin in our home, looking after Shadow, was a terrific experience.
Caitlin was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Sienna. She consistently communicated with us, sending updates and pictures throughout her stay. Caitlin actively played with Sienna and went above and beyond to meet her specific needs. Sienna is very particular about how she drinks water and eats, and Caitlin made sure to accommodate her fully. We highly recommend Caitlin’s services! If you’re ever in need of a responsible and attentive pet sitter, Caitlin is the perfect choice. We couldn’t be more satisfied!
Caitlin was so great! She was extremely communicative and our pets loved her. I felt extremely comfortable with her and will definitely rebook!
Caitlin is the most responsible and loving pet sitter I have worked with. She is sure to attentively care to my dog Lulu’s needs. My dog absolutely loves Caitlin and they have developed a great bond over the 10 years I have had Lulu. My dog has anxiety over rain/thunder, and Caitlin has been able to keep her calm and less anxious in those stressful situations where I was unable to be with my dog. I definitely trust Caitlin the most to care for my pet as if it was her own. I have seen how she spoils her own pets as well as others’ with love, attention to detail to each specific pet’s needs, and care. I could not recommend a better pet caregiver!
