Pet Snuggler, Experienced Caretaker

Pet care experience

**only accepting overnights of 3-4 nights depending on availability** I grew up with a Chocolate Lab and a German Shorthaired Pointer — very high energy, loveable dogs! I also worked at two dog daycare and boarding places. There I learned a lot of about dog safety, noticing signs of aggression and intimidation, basic dog grooming, and how to safely play with large number of dogs. I am experienced in dog walking and dog sitting, and worked for 2 years at Austin Pets Alive! as a neo-natal kitten feeder. I love being outside, I try to get on my bike as often as possible if I'm not walking a dog. There are some neat trails I like to explore as well. I'm into ballroom/social dancing, reading books (I love a pup who wants to sit and snuggle just as much as the active pup!) and hanging out with a few other dog loving friends. A bit more about me: I went to school for dance, lived and performed in the San Francisco area for a while after college. I traveled around Europe and few times and recently visited Colombia (love!). I've worked as a nanny, dance teacher, bartender, in a chocolate/ice cream shop, and adventure guide. After living in Austin for 5 years I moved to Michigan to be closer to family (specifically my 2 nephews!). This past February I adopted my first dog- Roo! He's the pup in my profile picture.

Caitlin has been a great walker for our 2 labs—one being a senior with special needs and the other being a puppy with tons of energy! She has been super responsive to messages and leaves great reports on how her visit with the boys was. We love getting pup-dates while we’re away, and she gets the cutest pictures to put our minds at ease! We know our boys are in great care with Caitlin!

Five stars! Caitlin is friendly, flexible, and a good communicator. My dog is very nervous around new people, but Caitlin handled her expertly! I highly recommend Caitlin.

Caitlin is prompt, organized, and very caring! Super-sitter status IMHO!

I try to follow the routine the pets are used to as much as possible so they have minimal stress and anxiety while their humans are away

Information Caitlin P. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to gather information about your dog that will help me provide the best possible care: your dog’s energy level, feeding schedule, regular routine, favorite activities, any special medical or behavioral issues, etc.

A typical day

I’ll tailor my dog sitting style to your dog — If a dog asks for attention I will easily give it, but I can respect the dogs who don't appreciate affection as much. I'll stay outside and play fetch. I also have a (probably unhealthy) obsession with taking photos of the dogs and me, so you can expect photo updates on a regular basis!
