Pet care experience

Serving West Loop’s Furry Friends!

Hi there! As a cat mom myself, I know it can be stressful to leave your beloved fur baby in someone else's care. Let me ease your mind while you're away by providing personalized care for your pup/kitty. Prior to starting my Rover business in Summer 2022, I spent about 4 years volunteering with PAWS Chicago as a volunteer, foster mom and an Adoption Counselor. During my time at PAWS I worked my way up to Level 2 Feline Volunteer, which means I successfully completed a six-week training course and practical assessment to certify me to work with more difficult cats. Additionally, I have fostered both FIV+ cats and cats requiring medication. As a self-proclaimed crazy cat lady, I pride myself on my ability to read cat body language and adjust my approach accordingly. I also grew up with dogs and cats my whole life. I'm passionate about animal rescue & adoption and have been extremely fortunate to care for a number of rescue pets throughout my life. I'm a true animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your babies. I look forward to working with you!

Safety, trust & environment

Trust and safety are critically important to me. Placing your pet in someone else's care is an enormous act of trust that I don't take lightly. When you book a dog walk or drop-in visit with me, you can trust that I will treat your home as if it were my own, that I will take appropriate safety precautions such as ensuring leashes/harnesses are secured before heading outside, and that I will provide the level of communication that I would want to receive from any sitter looking after my own pet.

I needed a last minute dog walker while I was out of town and hadn’t used Rover in years. Caitlin followed all my instructions, was timely, and sent me plenty of updates! I would absolutely have her help with my dog Tucker again!

Caitlin was reliable and took great care of my kittie. She refilled food and water and kept the litter box clean. She also sent great updates and pictures of my little baby. I’ve already booked her again. Thank you, Caitlin!!! 🐱

Caitlin was extremely responsive and gave us peace of mind leaving our cats in her care! She gave us many picture updates while dropping in and played with our cats and checked in on all of our automated cat devices as requested. We were very happy with our experience having her as a rover and would definitely recommend her to others; we will definitely using her services next time we are out of town!

I work full time as a consultant but am fortunate enough to work primarily remote. As such, I am at home in West Loop for the majority of the day.

41 to 100 lbs
Caitlin can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I always make sure to check the "Details" for all pets that I'm going to be looking after, but please feel free to share any additional comments or instructions! I am more than happy to accommodate any special instructions that your pet may need. Please also let me know if your pet has any triggers or behaviors that I should be aware of.
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.
