Highlights
Pet care experience
Accepting clients in West Central!
I have cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life. When I was a child my dad bred and showed Alaskan malamutes and my mom raced Siberian huskies. I always aided around the house by exercising, training, socializing, feeding, grooming, and cleaning up after the family dogs. As an adult I have volunteered with the humane society where I last lived in Pullman WA. In addition to volunteer hours at the shelter I acted as a foster for puppies, kittens, and adult cats. I have pet-sit for coworkers, family, and friends on many occasions. I have experience with: -large and small dog breeds -pets of all ages -high-energy dog breeds such as huskies and border collies -pets with dietary restrictions -pets on medication regimens -pets with at-home care regimens including wound cleaning, application of topical ointments, and even once an elderly cat who needed at-home IV fluids. I am available to pet sit for all of the below, having either kept them personally or cared for them in the past: -dogs -cats -small rodents -birds -reptiles -amphibians -salt and freshwater aquariums -other invertebrate pets Attention dog owners!!!! I care deeply for the well-being of the dogs I am hired to look after, for this reason there is one kind of booking I am no longer accepting. I WILL NOT ACCEPT any booking requests for canine drop-in visits when the dog's owner is going to be gone longer than 36hrs. In such cases, I've come to the conclusion that it is unfair to the dog, I cannot provide your dog care that I feel proud of with only 1-2 short visits in an entire day knowing that I'm going to be the only person coming anytime soon. If you wish to leave town for an extended period, and want to hire me to care for your canine, I suggest you book sitting rather than drop-in visits. While short daily visits are fairly standard for extended cat bookings, I believe dogs require a greater standard of care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I am unable to care for other people's pets in my own home at this time. I am, however, able to commute to or stay at your place to pet-sit your furry friends. If your pooch has a preferred trail, neighborhood, or dog park they like to go for exercise I can accommodate your and your pooch's preferences. I will always respect your preferences as far as what leads/harnesses I use. I will always respect your preferences in regards to whether I give your pets treats, how much I give, or what kinds of treats I give. I will do my best to always use your style of behavior correction/reinforcement, and always use the same commands and signals you use with your furry friend.
Ratings and reviews
Caitlyn is very reliable, which is important in my mom’s situation of assisted living. And Oliver loves her. What more could you ask? Thank you, Caitlyn!
Absolutely fantastic! Great about meeting the dogs, especially our more nervous dog. When we got back, the dogs were happy and relaxed. They seemed excited to see Caitlyn and we feel confident leaving them in her hands!
Caitlyn is very attentive and communicative-when things go well (with pictures!) and when there are challenges. She has watched our dog serval times now and we’d highly recommend her. Buster is always calm and happy when we return.
Caitlyn is completely reliable and easy to communicate with. We appreciate her care for Oliver!
Caitlyn is absolutely amazing!! She has been working for months with my fear based reactive dog on building a relationship together through weekly trainings. Caitlyn is patient, trained in dog behavior and training tactics, very reliable, and willing to do anything to build trust with dogs. Now a days my dog Roxy and Caitlyn go on walks by themselves (huge victory for Roxy with anyone that is not her parents), my husband and I was able to take a vacation a full airplane ride away (first time we both got to go on a vacation together in three years since getting Roxy), and Roxy has gotten so much better with strangers in general due to her relationship with Caitlyn. I have recommended Caitlyn to my family and friends (she took care of my moms cats as well while taking care of Roxy since we all went on the same vacation) because she is trustworthy, reliable, great communicator, great trainer, kind human, and a hard worker. I can’t say enough about how awesome Caitlyn is!!
Caitlin did a great job taking care of our 5 kitties! Even our shy ones let her pet them by the end. Loved the photos too. Will definitely rebook!
