Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Caitlin and I'm a copywriter for an art and design college. I have a Chi-terrier named Huesos. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with a beloved Dachshund-Beagle mix and a wonderful cat. I've been a sitter through Rover on and off since 2014. From older animals who require special care and medication to energetic dogs who need lots of time at the park, I've done it all. In addition to sitting for dogs and cats, I also have experience house sitting (taking care of the garden, collecting the mail, light cleaning, etc.). I am conscientious, intuitive, patient, and respectful. I find it natural to be around animals and can easily pick up on their moods, habits, and other idiosyncrasies.
Reviews
Awesome!
Caitlin was a great dog and house sitter while we were away for the weekend. She sent us updates and kept our dog very happy and comfortable. She was also a very neat house guest and left the apartment cleaner than she found it. Thank you so much, Caitlin!
Caitlin is super. She's friendly, responsive and has a great way with my two kitties, noting their different personalities, likes and dislikes. They seem to really enjoy her company and always seem happy and well-adjusted when we return. She also takes care with our home and it's in perfect condition when we return. She provides great pics and updates when we are away. We are so glad we discovered Caitlin on Rover.com.!
Caitlin was great. Max and Lucy were very happy and well cared for. And we got pics during the day to check in. Always happy with Rover

A typical day
I will take cues from the dog owner and will thoroughly ask about habits, special needs, likes/dislikes, dietary information, etc. After I know a bit more about the dog, I will make sure to be a calming presence (or a playmate!) as we get to know each other the first day or night. I think it's important to reward good behavior with praise and/or an approved treat and will be sure to ask if I need to be aware of any disciplinary issues the owner has been experiencing. When it comes to animal personality, I am very adaptable. I feel comfortable handling high and low energy pets.
