I am a fun loving and dog loving!
Pet care experience
I have grown up with dogs my entire life! I started dog sitting when I was 18 and have loved it ever since. I do walks, overnights, drop in visits, etc. I am familiar with dogs of all types and have never met a dog that didnt love me and that I didn't love! I am a trustworthy and reliable, and would love to be entrusted with your fur babies! I promise lots of love, snuggles, and exercise (and maybe some treats too!) Please consider me when you are looking for somebody to watch your babies. I’m looking forward to meeting them! Caring for animals is truly a privilege for me (I have a bunny of my own, his name is Pip!) He’s my little fluff ball! My availability varies but - walking, drop in visits, or overnights! Whatever you need, I’m here to provide it for you and your pup! I know that letting someone new in your home with your pets can be stressful, so I’m willing to do whatever I can to make the transition easy and make sure you’re comfortable!
Reviews
Caitlin is amazing! She took care of my two kitties over the holidays, and was wonderful and even added on an extra day when my plans changed. I came home to two well fed, hydrated, happy kitties! I got all kinds of photos of playtime every day, which was fantastic. She was great about locking up my apartment/house daily as well, our locks are a little finicky and annoying. Would recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, responsive, and kind to take care of your fur babies!
We LOVE Caitlin - she is simply the best! Caitlin literally saved our vacation when our former pet sitter bailed, so we definitely wouldn't have been able to enjoy our trip had Caitlin not saved the day. As an über protective pet parent, it's pretty hard for me to leave the pup with just anyone, but Caitlin's confidence and kindness reassured me that our pup would be just fine. We received pictures and videos daily when we were gone and when we did text or call Caitlin to check on the pup, she was readily available and easy to reach - something we absolutely look for in a superb sitter. We recommend Caitlin as a perfect pup sitter, and we bet that any pup she sits next will love her to pieces, just as our pup did!
Caitlin is a lover of children and dogs. She watched my dog for Memorial Day weekend. He was well taken care of all weekend. I would recommend her to everyone!
What I appreciate about Caitlin is her obvious love for animals and her professional approach. You will be at ease and comforted by the fact that your fur babies are in the best hands. She shows so much kindness and compassion to her own pet. I see the tender loving care she demonstrates towards Pip (her bunny). She showed me how the love of pets has such a healing effect on a person as a whole. Caitlin is trustworthy, detailed, attentive, and honest. You will not be disappointed!

I don’t currently offer boarding in my home because I have a free roam bunny. Although Pip does LOVE dogs, and he travels with me often for pet sitting (for repeat clients and whose pups adore him), I’ve never entertained the thought of boarding because I wouldn’t want to leave Pip and a dog unattended while I work. Please DO let me know if you’re comfortable with me bringing Pip while I sit, and I will apply a discount for you! *Pip would stay in a completely separate room from any pups, and he is also litter trained.* There is absolutely no pressure, though. While he travels well and truly LOVES other animals, and has never met a pup he doesn’t like (and chase!) Pip is getting older and loves to be cozy in his own environment. ❤️

Information Caitlin R. would like to know about your pet
If they are reactive in ANY way (towards dogs, children, on leash, etc) , if they have any allergies, if they take any medication, if they can be on or off leash, if they go to dog parks, and most importantly - are they allowed on the bed/couch!!
A typical day
Long walks, playing catch, car rides with the windows down and tongue hanging out, and lots of snuggles. After that, dinner and some treats and snuggling up!

Availability
*NOTE* PLEASE READ! I am NOT available to be home with your pup 24/7 if you’re looking for overnight care. I work with kids, and, while I create my own schedule, and I’m fairly flexible, it’s not feasible for me. So if you have an anxious pup, or a puppy, it’s probably not an ideal match for me! If you live within a ~ .5 mile radius of where I live/ work, I’m able to drop in more frequently ~ (Davis Sq, Somerville.) If not, your dog must be able to wait ~ 6 hours for potty breaks IF I’m working (my schedule does vary and I don’t work *every* day.)
