Pet care experience
I have several years of experience dog/pet sitting including overnight stays. I enjoy taking dogs on daily walks, and playing catch or tug of war to help them get in their daily exercise. Some dog breeds I have long-term care experience with (one-week to month-long pet sitting) include labs, golden retrievers, formosan mountain dogs, and bullmastiff. Although I love all the furry friends! I am also experienced in caring for multiple pets—the most being two dogs, two cats, and one stray, for two separate month-long sits. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at a time. I also have experience feeding dogs and cats oral medications. I am happy to do house calls for walks and feeding, as well as overnight stays. During overnight stays I make sure the house stays clean and tidy, and that the pets follow their house rules!
Reviews
Caitlin is amazing! Originally I wanted to leave my dog with her for boarding, but after a recent surgery Caitlin and I agreed it would be better to keep her at my place and she would house sit. After the surgery, my dog had meds multiple times during the day and needed some extra care with bandages and involuntary potty cleanups. Caitlin kept in touch the entire time I was out of town and took care of my dog as if it were her own. I will definitely look to Caitlin again for future help!
Friendly and professional, good with dogs. Great communication.
About Caitlin W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I currently cannot offer pet service in my own house. In a client’s home I always make sure I understand what the house rules are for the pets, as well as for guests! I am happy to meet clients in a public setting first if they feel more comfortable with that before inviting me to their home. I understand how important people’s homes and pets are to them, and do everything I can to communicate with reliability and respect. I love taking care of animals, and want both you and your pets to have a great experience with me.
Home
Information Caitlin W. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to accommodate to any particular needs/preferences your dog has, and make a point to always know what commands your dog best responds to, and any important rules I should be aware of.
A typical day
I love giving dogs a chance to get outside on a nice luxurious walk. I make sure they get to smell all the curious smells, while also getting their physical activity in. I love playing catch with dogs that need to get that extra energy out. I make sure to give them all the pets and ear scratches. Dogs that like to cuddle of course get their much needed love too. I do my best to understand each dog’s own personality and give them all the things they need-walks, toys, pets, etc.

Availability
My schedule is very flexible, and I have a lot of daytime availability for walks and potty breaks. I work as a server/bartender, so am generally scheduled weekend evenings. My shifts last about 6 hours, so for house sitting/overnights, 6-7 hours would be the maximum amount of time the pups would be on their own. If sitting is scheduled with enough advance I can also get this down to only 5-6 hours.
