Information Caitlin S. would like to know about your pet

If you know something that stands out about your pup, whether that’s allergies, biting, jumping definitely let me know before the walk. If it is a habit you’d like them to break, I am more than happy to help with that as well, any information regarding both of our safety will always help!

A typical day

Stimulation and genuine fun is so important for your pups! My main focus is to make sure that the dogs are having fun, while also getting the adequate exercise they need safely. I enjoy playing games with the pups such as treasure treat (put the treat somewhere in between the grass and see how fast they can find it, very stimulating and I always make sure to give them lots of affirmations after they find it for positivity reinforcement!!) as well as fetch of some sort whether it’s with a ball, stick, etc. For fetch I like to throw it in different directions and such to make sure the dog is always active and attentive for more stimulation. It’s super important to be stimulating the mind to achieve the maximum amount of exercise for each specific pup! Even on walks, I make sure to take different routes so the dog can smell and retain different information on places. I love creating moments with your individual pups to meet their specific needs, this way they are truly getting the ultimate form of exercise?

Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs! I’ve worked at a family owned pet store for years and volunteer at the Little Red Dog rescue and adoption events all the time! I raised two furry friends of my own and fostered many in the past. I can’t wait to meet yours!🐾🤍

She is really nice and patient. And the complex our dogs stayed is a gate complex with three dog’s area. I feel a lot safer for my babies. Will keep booking if I have a trip next time.

Caitlin was great with my pup Marshall! She sent lots pictures/videos to keep me updated while I was away and even left Marshall an early Christmas gift. I definitely recommend and will be rebooking.

Caitlin was amazing, she took great care of my dog this past week. She truly went above and beyond during her walk. I had many pictures sent and updates throughout the walk that let me know she was in good hands. Will definitely book with her again!
