Cat Whisperer and Canine Companion

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Caitlin! I primarily offer drop-in cat sitting visits as well as occasional dog walking/drop-in visits to clients in Somerville, Medford, and Melrose (anywhere within a ~15 minute drive from my house). I have two adorable rescue kitties, Xerxes (11 years) and Willow (7 years), who have been with me since they were ~5 months old. My childhood dog, Nimbus, a white German Shepard mix, was my best friend from ages 3-17. I loved taking her on walks through the nature preserve near my home, playing fetch, and teaching her new tricks. I adore animals of all shapes and sizes - by choosing me as your sitter or walker, you can rest easy knowing your babies are safe and well cared for! Covid-19 Safety Info: I am fully vaccinated and boosted and am able to offer both in-person or virtual meet & greets again, depending on your preference. Pet sitting / drop-in visits: I've been pet sitting in my free time for many years for both dogs and cats. Your furbaby will receive love and affection galore while you are away, including plenty of exercise for high-energy pups and kittens. I'm very good with all animals, but I have a special talent for drawing out and befriending even the most skittish or difficult kitties. I am also experienced in giving pills and liquid medications- my own cat Xerxes requires twice daily pills, and I'm skilled in quick, stress-free pilling of difficult cats. Dog walking: I am an energetic and engaged dog walker who is willing to go the extra mile to give your pup the best experience. Your pup's health and safety are my top concern - I'll treat your beloved pup as part of my own furry family and return them safely to your care. I'm also available for walking services any time of the week!

Caitlin made sure my little Moe was well looked after while we away! She provided great updates and gave him lots of attention.

Caitlin was wonderful with my admittedly grumpy cat! She sent pics & updates daily. Highly recommend if your cat also doesn’t like strangers (or if they do!).

Caitlin is amazing! Our kitty loves it when she watches her and she always makes sure to give her a lot of special attention and love. She’s super reliable and a great communicator. We all love Caitlin 😻

Safety, trust & environment

I am unable to offer boarding services because my two cats are quite territorial. While caring for pets in your home, I will keep their routines as close to normal as possible, and will always check on food, water, and litter boxes in addition to spending some time loving up on and playing with your kitties.

Information Caitlin M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any triggers your dog may have while walking on a leash. For cat sitting, it is helpful to know about any favorite treats or toys to help draw them out and gain trust.

A typical day

For dog walking, I generally follow a dog's usual walking route. I let the dog set the pace and allow plenty of time to stop and sniff around.
