Safety, trust & environment

I take pet care very seriously and know first hand how precious our pets are to our families. I put my pets safety first (and have the vet bills to prove it). I'll treat your pets like my own and do what I can to make them feel comfy while you're away. I also have liability insurance for pet sitting!

Information Caitlin M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or things to avoid. I know each pet is unique, so if there’s anything I can avoid that would scare your pet, please let me know!

A typical day

I love relaxing and snuggling mostly with the kitties. I sometimes give them treat puzzles for stimulation, or play with them to chase a feather toy on a stick. My pup is also pretty relaxed, but he LOVES to play with the toy ball he’s had since he’s a puppy. I throw the ball for him and my partner and I also work on some training exercises he’s learned over the years. He has a small agility course in the backyard that he likes to run when it’s not too hot.

Pet care experience

Growing up, we never had fewer than 5 pets at any given time. I love having animals around and think they add a lot to your life! I have experience with senior and special needs cats and dogs, and don't mind cleaning up a few piles to make everyone happier at home! I know the patience it can sometimes take to let a critter warm up to you, and don't mind special cases where someone needs some extra time and attention. From dogs that bark when they're excited (and happy and scared and bored...) to cats that need to be pet and acknowledged while they eat their food, I've seen it all!

Caitlin takes such great care of our senior cat! I don’t have any worries when she comes to check on our kitty.

Caitlin has been very patient with one of my cats that is a bit more shy. She has been an amazing pet sitter that also has been able to administer medication to my shy one. We are grateful for Caitlin and are happy to have found a reliable sitter. :)

Carlin was wonderful with our cats and it was the second time we had used her. She handles issues that arise and communicates well and sends us sweet photos. We recommend her highly.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
