Caring & affordable pet-sitter and
Pet care experience
PLEASE NOTE: I require at least 1 week's notice and a meet & greet before booking with new clients. I recently moved to Wausau from Milwaukee where I worked as a petsitter and dogwalker while I was there for 2 years. I lived in Chicago before that where I also worked as a dog walker and pet sitter for the 2 years I lived there. Growing up, my family had LOTS of pets, so I've been caring for all types of animals since I was real young. I also have plenty of experience taking care of other people's pets like petsitting for my friends' dogs and cats, and as a professional dog walker and petsitter in Chicago and Milwaukee. The services I can provide include: dog walking, petsitting at the owner's house, and drop-in visits. I am able to dog walk and petsit within a 30 mile radius of my house. I ride my bike as my main transportation, but I also have a car when I need it. I have lots of experience dogwalking in all types of weather. I have experience putting on dog booties, harnesses, jackets, and will make sure your pet is cleaned up before bringing them back into the house. I make sure to follow all of the owner's rules and commands for their pets when I am walking dogs or petsitting, and am very respectful in the owner's homes. I am happy to take care of all types of animals of any size, and I especially love giant dogs breeds, since I grew up with a St. Bernard. I love animals, and I give as much love and energy to other peoples' animals as I do my own.
Reviews
Very nice! We felt super comfortable having her stay at our house! One of our dogs is scared of people but he seemed perfectly fine with her which was a first! Would def recommend and will use her again!
caitlin did such a great job with my cat, Doc! i came home to a happy kitty. she was very professional and would highly recommend her services. i’ll definitely be using her again for drop ins!
Caitlin is excellent with our dog! She is very patient and puts up with his stubbornness! She also very prompt in responding and provides detailed reports. Would highly recommend.
They were awesome! Punkin can be a little hard to deal with for a lot of dog walkers but I came home to a happy puppy who got the attention he deserved. I'll definitely be hiring them again!

Safety, trust & environment
For drop-ins, I stay with the animal/s for at least 30-60 minutes depending on what service you select. For house-sitting, I stay however many nights you would need, keep the house clean and how it was left, take dogs for walks 2-3 times a day or however often you would like me to. I make sure to use all the commands you normally do, pick up poop, feed and water them daily, and give them all the love.
Information Caitlin H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about any special needs your pet may have, like medication. I have experience giving animals oral medication and subcutaneous injections. Please also leave any emergency contact information and their veterinarian's information. If there are any other concerns, please let me know them as well.
A typical day
I make sure your dog is mentally stimulated, and gets the exercise they need. As long as the dog is OK with other dogs, I like to go to parks with them, with the exception of dog parks, because of fight risks. We can play games like fetch or whatever your dogs' favourite games are.

I am available almost all day during weekdays and most weekends. I have about 5 slots open for drop-ins daily, and 7 for dog walks. I can do walks with same-day notice most of the time, require at least 1 day notice for drop-ins, and 1 week notice for house-sitting.
