Pet care experience
I've been a pet sitter for over fifteen years. I started my pet sitting "business" when I was ten by looking after my neighbor's dogs and cats while they were out of town. I've looked after dogs, as well as small mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish. I used to work at a vet clinic and kennel in high school, where I learned how to administer medications to cats and dogs, and how to care of dozens of animals on a daily basis. Additionally, I used to work at a zoo and an exotic cat sanctuary, where I worked with various carnivores like red wolves, snow leopards, mountain lions, and jaguars (among other species). If I can take care of those dangerous animals, I'm beyond confident that I can handle any dog that comes my way. My husband and I both of dog handling and training experience, even though we don't have a dog of our own (yet!). We have a nice house with a medium-sized, fenced in yard, where pups can run and play.
Reviews
Awesome service
Caitlin was a fantastic find! I’m new to the area and was nervous about trying Rover for the first time with my new puppy. She was extremely flexible when I asked to do a meet and greet before her house sitting night and I immediately knew my dog and I were in GREAT hands! Not only was she super communicative, she sent me photos and updates on my put throughout the weekend and never hesitated to ask questions or offer extra help. Will absolutely be looking to book with her again!
All I can say is Caitlin was very receptive and open to my concerns. She know’s how to do her job! Very adaptive. Just relax and try your best to enjoy yourself as best you can from being away from your pet. I would hire her anytime!
Caitlin has a very apparent love for animals! She spent quality time with our pup, which he loved! We appreciate that Caitlin gave us thorough updates on Dylan and sent lots of photos. Definitely will book with her again. Highly recommended!

Information Caitlin G. would like to know about your pet
I've taken care of dogs large and small, so I can handle pretty much any breed. I would like to know if the dogs are friendly with other people and dogs, if they are aggressive in any way (food, toys, etc.), if there require any medications, what commands/hand signs they know, what their favorite activities are, and what their normal routine is.
A typical day
In addition to taking care of your dog's basic needs, we'll go on walks/runs around the neighborhood, play with toys, enjoy time outside if the weather is nice, and chill inside when the weather isn't ideal.
