Caring, Energetic, Reliable Sitter

Hi. My name is Caitlyn and I recently moved to Newburyport. I’m originally from Salem, Mass. I’ve lived on the Northshore all of my life. I adore all the beautiful dogs and cats around here and would love to help if anyone needs a walker/sitter. I have loved animals my entire life and since I was a child, I’ve had a couple of different dogs over the years and was always the primary caregiver to them. Currently, i have just one, my mini dachshund, Ms. Vada. I recently lost my beautiful 18 year old cat Tinkerbell who I have had since she was 6 months old. I miss her so much. I’m reliable, super empathetic, responsible, punctual, honest, and treat pets like humans! I’m kind, helpful, and funny too. I’m able to follow directions and will care for your pet just as you tell me to do. I assure your expectations will be met. If asked to board in your home, I will treat your property as if my own with the utmost respect and care. I will be sure to keep your pets comfortable in their space and care for any other requests you may have. I’ve worked in peoples homes before and have always had nothing but happy, grateful employers who trusted me. I would love the opportunity to help care for your pet, providing you with the reassurance that I truly do care with the utmost love 💕 and kindness ! I have references and am able to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting your fur baby or fur babies!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a complex type community and have a perfect little route I walk my dog within the property, however, she generally pulls the leash towards the beach and sometimes we go off our path and I follow her lead. (She’s spoiled!) I love going to the dog park, to the beach, or random trails on the Northshore where she can have a bit more freedom and run “free.” My dog is friendly and generally gets along with all other dogs. She’s a little love bug.

We just had Caitlyn stay with our two dogs for over a week while we were away and couldn’t be happier when we returned home to two happy pups. One of our dogs is 13 years old and needs a lot of dedicated attention and care to make sure he eats and Caitlyn did a wonderful job doing so. We received daily updates and pictures and never had a doubt how they were doing while we were away. Would highly recommend Caitlyn and will certainly hire her again!

Caitlyn is a very loving and responsible woman. She has two dogs and a cat of her own and these pets are happy and very healthy. She is constantly playing with and especially the Vada the dog, you have a hard time finding Cait without him by her side. They travel everywhere together. I would have no problem leaving any of my pets with Caitlyn and knowing they would be fine while I was away.

I have known Caitlyn for over 10 years. She was a wonderful caregiver to my mother in her last years with Alzheimers. Cait has also house-sat for me and taken care of my dog and cat. She is conscientious, compassionate, patient and loving - both with people and with animals. I highly recommend her. Your pets could not be in better hands!

Cait has watched my puppy Bruno.. she truly loves animals and is a dog lover!! My puppy enjoys going on walks with her and her dog Vada. Cait is on time, reasonable and will take care of your animals like they are her own.
