Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2 bedroom townhouse with an area to take pets to use the restroom. I also live in a great neighborhood for walking. For overnight stays in my home I will require a kennel for your baby to stay in, in case I need to leave the house during the day.

Information Caitlin S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the temperament of dogs before I work with them. For example, are they very active with high energy, or do they get anxious in new places and environments. This will be helpful so I know what kind of environments will be most comfortable to your pet! I also think an important piece of information to know is if they get along with other dogs and children. I have one dog at home that isn’t always playful and usually keeps to himself. I have no children but there are usually children at parks and other public places so I think this is good information to know for the best experience for myself and your pup.

A typical day

I take dogs on walks around the neighborhood. I love to play fetch and tug of war with them as well. The most important thing is to let them expend their energy and give them the attention they need. For drop ins I am willing to do just about anything! I will feed them and play with them as well as anything else you may need me to do for your furry friend while I pop in and check on them.

Lover of ALL dogs in ALL sizes!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Caitlin and I have been around dogs my whole life. I am a dog mom to a Terrier Mix currently but have had dogs of all sizes throughout my life. I have had several cats, an English bulldog, beagle mix, a Great Pyrenees, and a pit husky mix previously. Currently I am offering dog walking services, drop in visits, doggy day care, and overnight dog sitting! I have experience walking and caring for all sizes of dogs as I would help my family care for our dogs growing up and have been a dog sitter for others. I can take care of anything for your baby, as long as I am informed of what exactly they need and how they need it, even if it is medicinal treatment. I am also a people person, I love to meet new people and make new friends. I am a great communicator and respond to messages quickly. I would love to set up meet and greets for my fur baby and myself to meet you and your fur baby to ensure we are all comfortable with working together! The most important thing to me is the comfort of you and your pets!

Cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She was precisely on time for the meet and greet as well as all drop in visits. Didn’t just run in and out but spent time with our fur baby. I highly recommend her and look forward to using her again for our future pet care. It’s nice when you’re out of town having someone you can depend on like Caitlin. Makes for a more relaxing trip when those drop in visit alerts go off right on time.

Caitlin is a great sitter, and Zaeley loves staying with her and Rascal. This makes me happy to know my baby is being taken care of when I’m getting treatments. I highly recommend Caitlin to everyone.
