Availability

I work from home full-time, which means your pup gets attention throughout the day — not just at walk times. I go out every 3–4 hours (or more if they ask!), plus one long walk to Central Park daily that usually lasts 1–2 hours. Other walks are around 30 minutes, perfect for stretching legs and sniffing adventures.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious one bedroom apartment with lots of room to play or snooze. If your pup prefers a crate or their own bed I can easily set that up in a designated area they’ll feel cozy. My apartment building has a large turf area we typically walk and play around for our shorter walks and I’m about a 15 minute walk to Central Park for more extra smellies and for a longer AM walk.

Information Caitlin W. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any specific needs, diets, medications, please outline this in detail. Given that I have a small dog at home, it’s also important that your dog gets along well with other pups. I typically suggest a meet up outside/on neutral territory prior to your dog staying so they have a chance to get acquainted.

A typical day

Central Park is my favorite place to get some good activities in for your pup. I also keep dog puzzles and plenty of toys at home. My 8 year old Bichon/Poodle loves to play and would love a good tug of war session if your dog is up for it!

Caring. Reliable. Dog obsessed.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years, caring for my little George(bichon-poodle) who happens to think every dog is his new best friend — especially his BFF Lulu the chocolate lab. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, from tiny lap pups to big energetic buddies, and I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. In my home, dogs come first. They’re welcome on the furniture, have access to toys, and even get bottled water. You can expect frequent photo updates so you always know how their day is going — cuddles, zoomies, nap spots and all. Your pup will feel loved, watched, and right at home here.

Athena had a wonderful time with Caitlin, her husband, and pup. They were so sweet and generous with her. They had treats and toys and a beautiful green space to run and play. After a big day of walking around the city, Athena got in some great cuddle time with them as well. She was so sad to leave. We definitely be back soon!
