Premium Pet Sitting You Can Trust

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.

Pets

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.

Caitlin was fantastic! She was able to accommodate a very last minute request and even squeeze in a meet and greet first. She sent loads of pictures of my cat, and feels genuinely invested in animals care and well-being. Excellent and quick communication all along, as well. I can't wait to use her again!

House Sitting • Jul 31, 2025

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 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!

If being a former cat cafe star employee isn’t enough to prove her genuine care and respect for pets, then trust her adoration for her own cat. Her cat is a top priority for her, making sure he is well fed, changing his diet and administering medication to help with his cat acne, giving him lots of love, and scooping his litter in a timely fashion. Or you could take into account how she cares for the dog she dog sits. Taking her on walks around Boston Common, dog sitting her overnight, taking lots of photos for her owner, and treating her as if she was her own dog. Caitlin is responsible, respectful, caring, and a great pet sitter.

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.
