Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated, attentive, animal lover
I've taken care of dogs since my family brought home our first Boxer when I was 13. I have extensive experience caring for dogs of varying size and age. I am able to provide bathing and brushing, manage specialized diets, and medication delivery. I have experience with dogs experiencing anxiety and with allergies, and have managed care for dogs recovering from accidents or serious illness.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had such an amazing experience having Caitlin watch our two dogs while we were away! She was incredibly detail-oriented, attentive, and thoughtful throughout our entire trip. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We especially appreciated how frequently she sent updates, photos, and little check-ins. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing exactly how our pups were doing while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. Coming home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs made it obvious how wonderful of a sitter she was. We would absolutely trust her with our dogs again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, communicative, and genuinely invested in their pets. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter!
Great sitter!
Very communicative and left detailed reports of how my cat was doing. She included photos in her reports, too, which was so fun to see while away. Absolutely recommend her for taking care of your fur baby!
Caity is a very sweet and hardworking girl who has always been close with animals. She often watched our family dogs and cats while we were away and kept them healthy and clean. Additionally, she’s good with smaller animals like fish, gerbils, and hamsters and has cared for them in the past.

Schedule
I am usually available between 6-9am and 5pm-10pm Monday to Friday and always available weekends. I am currently working part-time Monday-Thursday 10am-5pm, and Friday 9am-1pm. I love providing morning and evening care on weekdays, including drop-ins and walks. I offer boarding occasionally during Holidays or occasional weekends, to ensure pets in my care have my full attention and support for their needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I only occasionally offer services from my own home, however I always aim to make the most of the time I have with each pet in my care. I try to maintain the routine of each pet as much as possible when their owner is away, and to provide an enriching environment attuned to the needs of each pet. I love to play with each animal and provide walks as needed, in addition to maintaining a clean and safe environment. I aim to provide structure and adhere to the expectations of each pet owner in addressing the dietary, cleanliness, and activity of each individual animal. Food containers, toys, yards, litterboxes, puppy pads, crates, and water sources are maintained and cleaned as needed to ensure the wellbeing and health of pets, as I would do for my own dog and cats.
Pets
A typical day
In a typical day, I will provide as much enrichment as I can for the pets in my care in the time that I am with them. With dogs, this can include long walks around the park or the neighborhood, food/treat based puzzles/snuffle mats, fetch sessions or playing with toys. Meal times will be kept in line with requests by the pet owners when in my care, to include preparation, feeding, and cleaning and sanitizing of food dishes. Dogs are provided as much attention as they request, to include cuddles and petting, as well brushing or bathing if requested. For cats, I will ensure that they get adequate daily activity through play, and provide meals as requested. Food dishes, water dishes, and litter boxes are kept clean and in good condition. A good session for kitties in my care often will include providing play sessions with toys, giving individual attention and petting if the cats request it, and dedicated attention to medication and meal schedules.

- Please let me know about any medical issues, medication requirements, specialized diets or restrictions, routines, walking and meal time preferences, and activities your pet needs prior to visits or walks. If your pets require brushing, bathing, or nail trims, and are comfortable with a sitter doing these grooming actions, please request as needed. If animals need to be crated or put in specific or separate locations, please let me know as well. I would also love to know what your pet prefers or enjoys for activities and if they have a routine they enjoy.
