Pet care experience

Paws, Play, Repeat

Hi there! I’m the owner of The Cozy Critter Cottage, and I’ve spent the last six years providing loving, reliable pet‑sitting care. At home, I’m surrounded by my own furry family — five dogs and two cats — so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I offer a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of room to play, including a fully fenced‑in backyard perfect for exercise and fresh‑air breaks. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel relaxed and cared for. If you’re looking for an experienced sitter who truly understands animals, I’d love to meet your critter.

Caitlin made this a worry-free experience. She allowed time for Percy to adjust and become a part of the home routine. Gave encouraging updates and responded quickly. Very professional as well. Five Star !

This is my 2nd time boarding Luna with Caitlin and she did a wonderful job. She cares and able to take care of my kinda disabled dog due to her slip disc. Her son is so sweet helping her and I highly recommend her if you need someone who cares for your fur baby. Thank you Caitlin!

Schedule

Because I work from home, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means I can offer frequent check‑ins, consistent attention, and a calm, steady presence for pets who like company. My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to accommodate feeding times, potty breaks, play sessions, and any special routines your pet relies on. Whether I’m hosting or stopping by your home, your pet gets reliable care woven seamlessly into my work‑from‑home lifestyle.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With years of experience and a calm, animal‑focused home, I create an environment where pets can relax, explore, and feel secure. I’m attentive to routines, careful with introductions, and always mindful of each pet’s unique needs and boundaries. My home is set up with pet safety in mind, and I’m committed to earning your trust through clear communication, reliability, and genuine care. When your pet stays with me, they’re in a space designed for comfort, supervision, and peace of mind.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day of pet sitting with me is all about routine, comfort, and plenty of attention. Since I work from home, I’m able to start the morning with calm check‑ins, breakfast, fresh water, and a little play or snuggle time depending on each pet’s personality. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks from my desk to give pets interaction, exercise, and reassurance — whether that’s a walk, backyard time, or a quick feather‑toy session for the cats. I keep a close eye on everyone’s needs, from potty breaks to medication schedules to quiet time for pets who prefer a slower pace. With a fenced‑in backyard and a peaceful home environment, pets have a safe space to relax, explore, and settle in. Evenings wind down with dinner, more play or cuddles, and one last check to make sure everyone is comfortable for the night. Every day is built around consistency, safety, and making sure your pet feels cared for from morning to bedtime.

Before caring for your pet, it’s really helpful for me to know their daily routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I love understanding what makes each pet unique — their favorite activities, quirks, comfort items, and how they typically behave around new people or other animals. It’s also important to know whether your pet has been away from you before or if they’ve ever stayed with a sitter. This helps me understand their comfort level, separation habits, and how to make the transition as smooth and stress‑free as possible. Please share any details about feeding schedules, medications, anxieties, allergies, or behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor their care and make sure they feel safe, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
