Caring dog sitter available
Pet care experience
Growing up my mom was a veterinary nurse. So we took care of everyone in the neighbourhood’s pets while they were away. Dogs, cats, hamsters, Guinea pigs. I also sat my aunts elderly German shepherd while she was away throughout the year. Taking her for walks, making sure she took he medications. Applying creams and massages.

You will consider yourself lucky to have Caitlin watch your fur babies, because she is a natural. Caitlin watched my dog and my cat multiple times, and each time I felt grateful that she was available. Not only were my pets well looked after, but she took the time to brush the dog (over and above!) because she knew the dog was comforted by the brushing. My dog is older and has anxiety. Not only was Caitlin patient with her, but she spent time to get the dog relaxed before she walked her. I appreciated knowing that Caitlin didn't just turn up to my house and drag her outside for the walk. She had empathy and innate kindness towards my dog, you can't fake that. Now when my dog sees Caitlin, her tail is wagging hard, she HOWLS with happiness and truly wails until Caitlin rubs her belly. :) My cat is a typical cat, aloof and only interested in you around mealtimes. But Caitlin sat with her on the sofa and brushed him to make him purr LOUDLY. Now, when Caitlin comes over, my cat does come out from his bed to sit in the same room with her to "greet" her and then he circles her legs because he knows that Caitlin will brush him! She actually made my distant cat sociable. No small feat! In addition to Caitlin's natural love of animals is her willingness to help with more than walks. Caitlin made sure my pets got the meds they needed when they needed them. And she texted me at each visit to share updates and photos. I appreciated it also when I was out of town, she had just finished a walk for my dog when the skies opened up and heavy rain was coming down. She not only closed all the house windows for me, but when she came back to feed the animals dinner, she opened them up again. She is considerate of your property and the way you look after your pets. I cannot recommend Caitlin O enough. You can rest assured that your pets will be in safe and attended to in her capable hands.
Caitlin will genuinely treat your pets as if they were her own children. She’s always had cats as pets growing up and has dog sat & cat sat for years for neighbours and friends when they go on vacation many times. I’ve never had pets but if I needed a sitter Caitlin would be the first person I ask to take care of them!
