Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Caitlin. I live in the Edgewood/Brookland area of DC. I grew up with dogs, cats, and reptiles, and I take care of friends’ and coworkers’ pets frequently when folks go out of town. I love all animals and I’m always excited to meet and take care of a new friend. I am also a foster parent with Humane Rescue Alliance when I don’t have other dogs or cats, and I update my profile whenever I do have a foster so you can check before bookings. While I do adore all animals, I am a small person, and I will admit very large dogs could potentially get the best of me!
Reviews
Caitlin is a wonderful dog sitter! She is communicative and very caring. Buddy loves his stays with her!
Archie had a great time with Caitlin as always. She took great care of him.
Amazing with our fur baby! Lots of videos and pictures!
Caitlin was great! Very communicative, great with updates, and even gave our dog a bath.
About Caitlin H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two bedroom, one bathroom condo. While small, I do have a crate for crate training and the extra room can always be reserved for pets that are shy and need some alone space to adjust. There are two or three nearby dog parks (one within a ten minute walking distance) that we can go to, as well as a couple of open parks for daily walks and potty breaks. I have some dog toys (that I clean between pets), some dog/cat beds if your pet likes those, food and water bowls, and pet shampoo if anything crazy happens and your buddy needs a bath.

Information Caitlin H. would like to know about your pet
It’s always good to know if your baby needs special attention, medications, or anything else specific to them. The below questions aren’t all necessary, but these are some of the things that go through my mind when petsitting for friends: 1. Are dog parks okay? 2. How are they around dogs, cats, kids? 3. Are they crated night/day? 4. Are they allowed on couches? 5. Long walks or can’t be bothered? 6. Any treats/foods you give them? Okay to give them treats from my stash? 7. Does they have separation anxiety or can they roam while I’m out? 8. How long do they usually wait between potty breaks? 9. Any other quirks I should be aware of?
A typical day
We can walk around outside in Brookland or go to the dog parks nearby. We could also walk the Metropolitan Branch Trail together. It’s a few miles long and a favorite of mine!
Services
Caitlin can host
Availability
I’m available most days, although I go into the office on Mondays and some other days when needed (office is local in DuPont). My work is very flexible, so I can stay home with any pets who need a little extra attention or need more walks and potty breaks throughout the day. My nights and weekends are usually pretty free, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet.
