Vet tech who loves all dogs!
Pet care experience
I have a degree in veterinary technology, 2 years in-school experience working with domestic and exotic pets, and 1 year experience working for an emergency veterinary clinic that primarily catered to dogs and cats. I've been caring for dogs and living with German Shepherds for my entire life (28 years) and have been either volunteering at shelters or working with cats and dogs professionally for 10 years. I'm planning to go to veterinary school so that I can devote my life to researching ways to better treat the diseases our animal friends suffer with, and find ways to better and extend their lives. I've lived with cats and German Shepherds my entire life, and currently take care of cats and bunnies. I'm very comfortable with just about every size and temperament of dogs, and I'm excited to get to spend time with your furry pals! I work nights and am home during the day all week, and so can accommodate your pet care needs if you work a daytime schedule and need pet care during those hours.
Reviews
Caitlin took great care of our cat and gecko over Labor Day weekend. :)
Caitlin stopped in to feed my cat while I was away. She waa great!
Caitlin can handle my nearly year old Boxer-Pit mix Puppy! Enough said! She's on-time, super friendly, knowledgeable, and really responsive!
Caitlin is a registered vet tech and loves animals. She has had dog walking training at the local SPCA when she was volunteering there to walk the dogs. Our dog absolutely loves her whenever she comes to visit (as well as our other animals). She would be a great addition to your company.

Information Caitlin K. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your pup is likely to get into things like trash, cat food, litter boxes, and if they entertain themselves by shredding things or making messes. I would like to know whether a dog is comfortable around and can be trusted around cats. Ideally I'd also like to know how they are around bunnies, but this isn't required. I prefer small and medium breeds, but I also LOVE German Shepherds and Great Danes. I haven't yet met a breed that isn't welcome in my house as long as they're friendly, enjoy down time, and can hang in a relatively quiet environment! We're the snuggle and binge Netflix type. High energy dogs aren't a problem at all, but let me know if they need extra playtime beforehand, or if they're more the type to chill on the couch with belly rubs!
A typical day
I don't have a personal yard, but my apartment complex has a wonderful fenced-in dog park for them to run freely in, and I live around the corner from a local city park with lots of walking trails. I have a gigantic couch and bed they're welcome to lounge on, and if they're good with cats, a very rambunctious kitten for them to play with! We have lots of toys and space to play outside.
