Safety, trust & environment
My belief is that no one belongs in your home but me, who you’ve vetted and trust. I generally treat your home as like I’m polite extended family guest. I’m quiet, clean, and will make sure everything is how you left it. I don’t board any pets because I have a small apartment and two kitties who’d rather not share.
Information Caitlyn M. would like to know about your pet
What makes the dog uncomfortable? How do they normally show fear and/or aggression? Do they have a special way to feed them, walk them, love them?
A typical day
I’m a fan of walks if your puppies like those, but I’m happy to chill with them on the couch. We can play, watch Netflix together, and they are more than happy to help me grade essays. Often with kitties, I’ll put on a podcast and then sit with them as much as they like. Sometimes they just need a person to be with them.

Former Teacher w/ Love of Pets!
Pet care experience
I’m a pet-loving reader who used to be a high school teacher (12 years). I’m taking some time off from Education to have a more flexible schedule so that I can spend more time with a friend who has cancer. I’ve been petsitting part time since 2019, and normally use it to make extra money for traveling in the summer. When housesitting, I take care of your home as much as if it were my own. I bring over food to make for myself, I have a little travel bag to stay over, and I’ll take care of your home and pets. Thankfully I find it easy to feel at home in new places, and I always love to give people the peace of mind that their home and pets are safe while they’re away. No one will enter your home without your approval. I love reading, podcasts, Third Place Books, and Netflix. I’m a not-crazy Swiftie. I grew up with Dobermans, dachshunds, ferrets, cats, etc. I'm not scared of large breeds - usually they are the biggest sweethearts. Personally I have two sweet kitties, Lucy and Ethel, whom I adopted from the SPCA. LGBTQIA+ friendly. If there is anything you need from me to feel safe and comfortable, please just ask. Ex: mask-wearing, perfume/scents, shoes in the home, etc.

Reviews
Caitlyn has a heart of gold and a spirit filled with joy. She has such a grounded energy that immediately my dog’s nervous system is set at ease. She really takes care of both of us through her communication and compassion. I’m so happy we’ve found her!
Caitlyn did a wonderful job with our cat and senior dog. She kept us up to date on our pets while giving us the peace of mind to fully enjoy our time away. We would be happy to have her back!
Caitlyn always does a great job! She takes great pictures and pepper always looks happy to see her. Would definitely recommend!
Caitlyn has gone above and beyond to take care of my two kitties! She is always super communicative and my kitties always seem super happy when we return from trips. This past trip our door key pad ran out of battery and Caitlyn was incredibly flexible and helpful in coordinating with the locksmith, figuring out how to change the batteries in the key pad, and offering to stop by for an extra visit to make sure our kitties had sufficient water. We will definitely continue to reach out to Caitlyn for our kitty care needs!
