Young & in love with all dogs :)
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm 21 years old, a student at CU Boulder & a very deep love for dogs of all kinds. I have been home & petsitting on & off with my mother since I can remember, at least 10 years, & have learned from her how to master the delicate balance between pampering & discipline. I also have a little bit of experience working in an animal clinic, so I know how to administer all kinds of medication, how to hold a dog under stress, & be soothing but stern at the same time. Every dog has a unique personality, & I take pride in my ability to connect so quickly with them. Dogs are the embodiment of pure & unconditional love, which is a beautiful thing. They deserve a caring & loving babysitter, who knows how to respect the existing relationship between you and your best friend :)
Reviews
I have known Caitlyn for many years and have actually accompanied her on some of her pet sitting jobs from time to time. Her love for animals is unsurpassed! ... and she has the maturity and responsibility to back it up with practical care giving skills. I would trust her with my pets and home in a heart beat.
Caitlyn has been Home & Pet Sitting with me for years. She is responsible, mature, level-headed, and thinks on her feet. She is also very attuned to animals of all kinds, including the domesticated rats we've cared for!
Caitlyn is a warm caring pet momma. She has taken care of our three golden retrievers and they adore her. Three is a lot to ask of anyone, but when we come home, the pups act as if we were never away...and the house always looks better than when we left. One of our dogs is a special needs little girl--blind from SARDS but that doesn't matter as she is fully embraced by Caitlyn.

Skills
Information Caitlyn K. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences at all! I have noticed, however, that dogs can tell when a person is not normally in charge. Some try to take advantage of that, while others just go along with it. Please let me know if your dog may be the rebel type, so I know to step my alpha game up while you (the real alpha) are away.
A typical day
I need exercise, so I will take your dog as far as you'd like, for as long as you'd like. Sometimes it's nice to just be outside with them, sitting in the park &/or people watching. I love tug of war & all kinds of doggy games.
