Pet care experience

4 legs are better than 2!

I currently work at the Newport Navy Base at All Paws On Deck doggie day care. I have been there for about a year and am currently one of the lead staff members there taking care of the dogs. I have learned so much on dog behavior and safety. Since working there it has ignited an interest to become a dog trainer. The joy that dogs bring to my life has been so rewarding and I love every minute of my job and being with all my furry friends. I have grown up with always having a dog in my life and had parents that instilled responsibility that came along with it. I have watched and been responsible for friends and neighbors dogs when a helping hand is needed. My up bringing with always having a dog was that they are not just an animal but another member of the family and have to be treated as such. I have been very lucky to have had grown up with amazing dogs. I have rescued 2 beautiful greyhounds that were former racers in Florida. This particular breed is my passion due to the challenges it gives to teach them how to transition from the track to home life. This breed typically has never been inside a home and needs to be taught everything! Stairs, Windows, glass sliding doors, furniture, a yard, trust, and having her own toys and bed. This has taught me so much on how to relate to the dog and learn how they see life. My life currently when im not working is spending time with my family and enjoying the "island life" in Portsmouth. It is my husband and I along with our two boys and Anita (my greyhound).

Caitlin is extremely passionate when it comes to dogs. She has ALWAYS had a special place in her heart for any dog. She is reliable, compassionate, trustworthy, responsible, caring, loving and is great with any dog whether small or big and with any personality. She is amazing and will give them lots of attention whether playing with them, going for walks or giving them dinner and treats! She will treat them as her own and they will become a part of the family!

Caitlin is amazing! I have seen her care for dogs big and small, temperaments ranging from the most docile to energetic. She is loving and attentive towards all four legged friends, and precise with the important things like dinnertime and treats ;) You truly can't go wrong with Caitlin!

Caitlin has shown nothing but true compassion for dogs since the day I met her. She welcomed me into her home and immediately introduced me to her loving greyhound. The way she cares for her own dog carries over into how she treats other dogs as well. She is so loving towards my dog whenever she visits, and makes a point to play with him and give him attention. Caitlin is trustworthy, reliable, caring and compassionate in so many ways. Any pet owner would be extremely lucky to have Caitlin helping out with their pet! She will treat them like a member of her own family!
