Availability

As a mom of three boys, I’m very used to managing busy daily and weekly routines with consistency, patience, and flexibility. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I plan my days carefully and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need. Between school routines, family structure, and my experience keeping a well-organized household, I’m able to provide dependable care, regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, walks, and lots of love. My weekly routine is built around being reliable and present, so pet parents can feel confident their pets are in caring, capable hands.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities, whether I’m providing boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, needs, and any special instructions before care begins so I can provide a safe, comfortable experience. For boarding and daycare, I create a calm, supervised environment where pets can feel secure and settled. I pay close attention to behavior, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure pets are always in a clean, safe space with plenty of attention. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow the pet owner’s instructions, double-check doors, gates, leashes, and feeding details, and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for before I leave. I also monitor pets for any changes in behavior, appetite, or mood and communicate updates so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is always to provide dependable, thoughtful care so pets feel safe and pet parents feel confident knowing their pets are in trusted hands.

Information Caitlin R. would like to know about your pet

Before care begins, I like to learn as much as possible about each pet so I can provide safe, personalized, and stress-free care. It is very important for pet owners to share their pet’s routine, feeding schedule, potty habits, energy level, temperament, medical needs, medications, allergies, triggers, and comfort preferences ahead of time. I also like to know how pets do around children, other animals, new environments, and any specific fears or behaviors I should watch for. Having this information in advance helps me keep pets comfortable, follow their normal routine, and make sure they receive the attentive, trusted care they deserve.

A typical day

A fun day of boarding or daycare includes plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, and time to relax. I like to keep pets on a routine that helps them feel comfortable and secure while also making sure they have fun throughout the day. Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, that may include walks, indoor play, toys, cuddle time, and quiet rest breaks. I always make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and included, so their time away from home is both enjoyable and stress-free.

Charlie LOVES going to Caitlin’s and that is the best endorsement there is! Plus, I know she takes amazing care of him, so my mind is at peace when he’s there, even when we’re gone for several days. I feel so lucky to have found her!

We left our pups with Caitlin for our week long family vacation and as always she provided EXCELLENT CARE! We wouldn’t trust our dogs with anyone else! She’s so attentive and responsible, you can tell she definitely cares about each and every dog. Even our standoffish dog LOVES her and greets her with kisses when we drop them off!
