Animal Enthusiast Extraordinaire!
Pet care experience
I started taking care of animals as an adolescent, starting off as a paid dog walker for a tiny, white bischon named Buffy that I will, of course, never forget! Now I have a huge focus on rescue operations and have proudly rescued and fostered dozens of animals from entering kill shelters. I work with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I also have experience with caged pets such as hamsters, fish and hermit crabs. I have two young children who have been raised to care for and be kind to animals. Pets who come to my home will have the enjoyment of a spacious, fenced in backyard with toys and a hammock present. Trails and sidewalks leading into lovely downtown Carrboro are right outside of our home. I am certified in pet bereavement counseling and have been since 2012, and am grateful to help families suffer from the tragic loss of their beloved family members.
Reviews
With 3 dogs, 2 toddlers and a cat which was not on her profile initially, there was a lot going on and I think my dog's care wasn't what it should have been.
Yogi spent a good day with Caitlin & family. She was attentive and caring. I would definitely recommend her.
Caitlin was wonderful! We left our beagle and terrier for 5 days with her and her family. She is truly a dog lover and was unfazed by our high energy dogs. She was in touch with us daily and sent us pictures regularly (my kids loved that). I highly recommend Caitlin.
Caitlin G. is an avid animal lover. I have known her for several years, and for most of the time I have known her there has been at least one pet in the home, at one point I jokingly called her the crazy cat lady when she took in 6 homeless cats at one time. She treats all her pets the same, with all the love and compassion she has for her own children, and as part of her family. She has adopted several pets as well as fostered countless others. I do not know too many people who have as big of a heart for animals as Cait does.

Information Caitlin G. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know everything about your pet before you bring them to visit us, so that there is comfortable as possible during their stay. I'm always glad to have a phone call before hand.
A typical day
Dogs will walk on the nearby trails or through the neighborhood and enjoy plenty of leisure time. Please let me know what your schedule is with your pet so I can accommodate something close to that to promote comfort during my time of providing care.
