Safety, trust & environment

I have many years of veterinary experience with dogs and cats, so I can be entrusted with administering medications to pets. Additionally, I've been around animals all my life, so I can be relied upon to react swiftly in case of an emergency. I will make sure to adjust my services based on the pet and his or her needs so that every pet can feel pampered, happy, and (most importantly) safe in my care.

Passion for Pets and Their People

Pet care experience

I have a huge passion for animals, as I’m an animal sciences major at Purdue (with the goals of pursuing veterinary school)! I’ve worked with cats, dogs, exotics, zoo animals, pigs, cows, horses, the works! I’ve recently lost my only dog of 15 years, and this experience was very hard on me and my mental health. Therefore, I joined Rover as a dog walker and house-sitter to try something new and bring that same passion for others and their pets!

Caitlin was GREAT taking care of our dogs AND our home!!! She was timely and considerate, very communicative, and was observed to love on our dogs throughout her whole stay! She left our home looking exactly the way we left it, and we could tell she cared and loved on our dogs! She was kind and willing to meet prior to her stay and was able to work with shifting time frames as well!!

Caitlin was caring towards my dog, and even though it was just a drop-in service, she still played with one of my cats. She made a thorough report for just a 30-minute visit to let my dog out while I had to work late. She also provided multiple pictures, even though I said she did not have to. She was also accommodating when the other sitter I had scheduled for a meet and greet no-showed, and she was able to meet my needs quickly, even though it was a last-minute booking. I would recommend her service.

Caitlin did a wonderful job. We had some challenging weather while we were gone and she was very diligent with her visits. I would highly recommend her.
