Highlights
Pet care experience
❤️ Your Pet's New Best Friend
I have a combination of hands-on experience, active engagement, and genuine love for animals. I've spent the past 13 years caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. As a dog owner myself, I've personally trained two dogs, giving me experience with basic obedience, leash manners, positive reinforcement techniques, and understanding canine behavior. I don't believe in simply "watching" pets—I believe in actively engaging with them. Whether that means long walks, playtime, mental enrichment activities, or plenty of cuddles, I tailor my care to each dog's personality and energy level. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I'm attentive to routines, medication schedules, dietary needs, and behavioral cues, and I understand how important consistency is for a pet's well-being. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, providing regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. When caring for your pet, I treat them like family—not just another booking. Their safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities.

Caitlin is great with dogs and I highly recommend her! My rescue is very anxious and Caitlin has always shown patience and kindness with her, which is greatly appreciated.

Caitlin is very kind, caring, responsible and trustworthy. She shows up on time, feeds, walks and plays with our two dogs. She gives them lots of extra love and belly rubs. I highly recommend Caitlin. Our dogs love to see her when comes to care for them.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already lead an active lifestyle and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I go on daily walks and runs, making it easy to provide dogs with the exercise, playtime, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. I also work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me added flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and quality companionship throughout the day. On other days, I carefully manage my schedule to ensure pets receive reliable, consistent care and attention. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active play sessions, or simply having someone nearby for comfort and companionship, I'm committed to incorporating their needs into my routine and treating them like part of the family while you're away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. Dogs in my care enjoy multiple daily walks tailored to their energy level, along with frequent play sessions to keep them active, happy, and engaged. I also love spending quality one-on-one time with pets, whether that's playing, relaxing together, or giving plenty of cuddles and affection. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, so I regularly incorporate enrichment activities such as puzzle toys, lick mats, and interactive games to keep pets entertained and mentally challenged. For dogs who are working on skills or manners, I'm happy to reinforce basic training using positive reinforcement techniques and consistency. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided by their owner. Treats are given in moderation (with owner approval), and my goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and right at home while you're away.
A typical day
I make sure pets stay happy, engaged, and well cared for through a mix of fun daily activities. This includes walks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of interactive play tailored to their energy level and personality. I also love giving lots of cuddles and attention so they feel safe and relaxed while you're away. If enrichment tools are available, I’ll incorporate activities like puzzle toys, lick mats, and other mentally stimulating games to keep pets engaged and entertained throughout the day.
