Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are paramount when it comes to caring for your beloved dog, whether in your home or mine. With a keen focus on these principles, I ensure your dog's well-being is my top priority at all times. In your home, I implement strict safety measures to create a secure environment for your dog. This includes thorough inspections of the living space to identify and mitigate any potential hazards such as loose wires, toxic plants, or small objects that could be swallowed. I'll also ensure doors and gates are securely closed to prevent any escapes, and I'll familiarize myself with your home's layout to swiftly address any safety concerns. Moreover, I prioritize building trust with your dog through gentle, positive interactions, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure in their surroundings. I'll maintain open communication with you, providing regular updates and addressing any specific needs or preferences your dog may have to ensure their happiness and well-being.

Information Caitlin O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you're behavioural difficulties, anxieties as I can accommodate for all! I can help dogs work through any problems they have. Please let me know if I can walk them with other dogs? Any dietary requirements? Can they be let off lead? Any triggers for your dog? Thank you :) I'd like to add for a small fee I can do drop in visits for small animals too including exotic animals!

A typical day

I love spending time with dogs and coming up with fun activities for them, especially living near the beach. Some of the things I enjoy doing with dogs include playing fetch on the sand, taking them for swims if they enjoy the water, and going on scenic hikes along the coastal trails. I also like incorporating training sessions and brain games to keep their minds stimulated, and the beach provides a perfect backdrop for socializing with other dogs. And of course, there's nothing better than watching them relax and unwind in the sun after a day of fun activities.

Pet care experience

As a true animal lover with a lifelong dedication to caring for our furry friends, I bring a unique blend of experience, compassion, and commitment to the role of dog caregiver. Growing up surrounded by animals, including my beloved canine companion of 15 years, I've developed an innate understanding of their needs, behaviors, and the unconditional love they offer. My journey with dogs extends beyond mere companionship; it's been a heartfelt responsibility and joy. Throughout the years, I've nurtured, trained, and cherished my own dog, learning valuable lessons in patience, empathy, and companionship along the way. This deep bond has instilled in me a profound respect for the well-being and happiness of all dogs under my care. In addition to my lifelong experience, I've recently expanded my involvement in the canine community through dog walking/Doggy Day Care in our local area. This hands-on experience has honed my skills in handling dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments while ensuring their safety and enjoyment during our walks. Whether it's a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or an energetic romp through the park, I prioritize each dog's individual needs and preferences, fostering a positive and enriching experience for them. As you can see from my profile, I am highly experienced in this proffesion. What sets me apart as the ideal candidate for this role is not only my extensive experience and genuine love for dogs but also my unwavering dedication to their well-being. I understand the importance of reliability, trustworthiness, and clear communication when it comes to entrusting someone with your beloved pets. With me, pet owners can rest assured that their furry family members will receive the highest standard of care, attention, and affection, just like they're part of my own cherished pack. I'm so looking forward to meeting and building a bond with your fur baby. Please do not hesitate to drop me a message. I might add - for a small fee, I also can do drop ins/visits for small animals including exotic animals.

Caitlin was brilliant with my 8th month old Labrador Wybie, she was patient and clearly has a love for animals. She went above and beyond with the care for him, and it was lovely seeing all the photos and videos she shared throughout the day. This was all during the heat wave too and Caitlin thought of everything to help keep wybie cool. I knew he was in good hands, he was very happy to be with her and her partner too. I will be using Caitlin again for sure 😊

I would give Caitlin 100/5 if I could! First time having another person to walk our dog and he obviously clicked with Caitlin and was very happy. Caitlin has been so easy to talk to, and my Mum really enjoyed meeting Caitlin on the pick up and drop off. Really grateful for Caitlin, thank you. 🤩

We could tell that the dogs would be ok when we did the ‘meet and greet’ with Caitlin the night before. The dogs were very excited especially Tia (as is her nature being a boxer) but after a few minutes Caitlin took the lead and Tia calmed down, sat and waited! We were very pleased when we collected our dogs in the afternoon after Caitlin having them for 5 hrs. We could tell that they hadn’t pined and were well looked after (no pulling to get to us). We received texts and photos to show they were being good during our absence. Caitlin is a ‘superstar’ x

Caitlin looked after our 2 year old Sprocker for 5 days while we were away. Caitlin provided fabulous photos of the 2 walks a day. Communication was great and we came back to a very happy dog. We would definitely recommend Caitlin and we will definitely book Caitlin again on our next trip away. XXX
