Hello, I'm Caitlin! I primarily offer drop-in cat sitting visits as well as occasional dog walking/drop-in visits to clients in Medford, Malden, and Melrose, and parts of Somerville and Arlington - anywhere within a ~15 minute radius from my home! I currently have one adorable rescue kitty, Willow (9.5 years), who has been with me since she was 5 months old. I also recently lost my sweet boy Xerxes (13.5 years) in December 2023 to heart disease; I'd adopted him back in 2010 when he was just a few 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! 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 required 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.
