Pet care experience
Spent multiple summers overnight pet sitting in different households from a couple big dogs with special diets to not quite potty trained chihuahuas - 7 of them! Experienced with all sorts of animals and not squeamish, very capable, and great at following specific instructions.
Reviews
Did a great job watching my two dogs!
Caitlin is awesome. She was able to work with us on late notice for an unexpected trip and our dogs love her. She gave us great feedback on how our two pups were doing, even when one got a lil sick to her stomach without me. I knew she was in good hands with Caitlin and I didn't have to worry. We really trust her with our pups and our home and will continue to work with her any time we travel or need a hand with our dogs due to our schedules. 🤩
Wonderful as always! Caitlin is patient with my not so friendly dog that always seems to forget her the very first visit. She sends updates and pictures daily. She messaged me right away about a snack that I dropped on the floor that my dog tore up and ate to make sure it wasn't something dangerous, and I appreciate that she is looking out for the health of my dog while I am gone.
Thanks for being such a good sitter for Shadow! For her to talk to you shows she trusts you :)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Experienced at administering at home medical care to animals (though training for the specific pet is always desired) and love brushing - even during shedding season. Very aware of risky situations like unfenced pools or doors that close pets in and how to prevent those accidents. I just want to keep your pet as comfortable as possible until you return to them!
Information Caitlin M. would like to know about your pet
Feeding & bathroom schedules are always important. I also like to know household rules for the animals (and humans) like if they’re allowed on furniture, can’t go into specific rooms, or need to stay separated from that one toy that’s a little too triggering. I’ve always found owners to be extremely thorough in their care instructions and have only needed to ask a couple clarifying questions.
A typical day
Cuddling up with the pups is definitely one of my favorite activities as well as brushing and practicing any training they might be working on. Games like hide & seek and chase are classics - plus they’re much more fun than the gym! High energy activities are great but I also try to include soothing moments so they can feel safe and comfortable while their owners are out.

Availability
I work full-time at the old Fry’s building and have a fairly flexible schedule so can do afternoon drop-ins. Love driving so frequent commutes (even at odd hours) are not a problem! Most of my daily plans are flexible so short notice is workable.
