Taking care of your pups as I do my own!
Pet care experience
I have cared for my own, families and friends dogs/ other animals from a very young age. I am currently studying a veterinary degree with the aim of becoming a veterinary surgeon, an aspiration of mine for years! I have 2 of my own dogs, Cooper, a miniature dachshund and Chester, a mixed-breed Romanian rescue dog whom I adopted from the street at 10 months old. I often look after family or friends dogs while studying, including lovely long walks in the heart of Gloucestershire, perhaps some light training and anything else needed! I have trained both of my own dogs, moulding them into the wonderful dogs they are. I have also recently volunteered a summer to taking care of stray dogs in Sicily (some diseased or injured), including walking them, grooming and giving medications whilst ensuring the prevention of disease, providing genuine care and seeking a new, loving home for each of them. I also have trained my family dogs, building trust and strong bonds.
Reviews
Caitlin is fantastic with dogs, I have a short haired pointer that is playful and quite boisterous at times, meaning he can be a handful. However, Caitlin is very patient and certainly very caring when around him, which is lovely to see. I would trust Caitlin over many to look after him! Thanks Caitlin!
Caitlin is a very trustworthy dog Walker. She has walked my dogs on many occasions and at times helped out at short notice. My dogs love their walks with Caitlin. She is always happy to update you by way of photos along the walk. Dogs always get taken to some of the best walks around. Very happy with the service offered by Caitlin, would highly recommend to anyone in need of a caring responsible doggy person!
Caitlin looked after my two precious puppies, she is amazing and very attentive, caitlin has two lovely dogs of her own and they got on very well with mine. She updated me throughout with pictures which was lovely as she knew I was apprehensive about leaving them. Thank you so much for the reassurance! I will definitely be leaving Myshka and Barney with her again. 😊

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a 3 bedroom house with a large lounge and enclosed garden, right next to a wooded area where we can walk/ play as many times a day as they like! I am a very respectful, careful and clean individual and will be sure to keep your home secured and tidy. Your pup will be in incredibly safe hands and I will treat them as my own adhering to all of your wishes and needs. Their happiness and safety is my priority as well as yours!
Information Caitlin S. would like to know about your pet
If your dog requires walking alone, please let me know, I have 2 of my own who are always keen to walk and socialise but I am happy to walk your dog alone if needed! Please also let me know if your dog has any tendency’s regarding walks or other dogs and if they can be let off the lead/ socialise etc. Also any health issues or medications. Chester, my rescue, is on a very strict diet due to digestive issues, if there is anything your pup mustn't eat, let me know, as I understand the consequences very well!
A typical day
Usually, I wake up with my dogs and they carry on resting while I do some work (they are super chill dogs and love a lazy morn!) and then we’ll go out on a lovely long dog walk somewhere in the Gloucestershire area! We visit an enclosed woods most days where they can chase squirrels and socialise, sometimes we visit a private rented enclosure for some training and activities which we can do if your dog needs this! We love hills and walks with beautiful views where we take lots of pictures. When we come home, I let them rest before having a play with toys in the house/garden and going for another short walk. After this my 2 usually have their dinner and chill until they go out one last time before bed. We can accomodate to whatever your dog needs!
