Highlights
Pet care experience
Former Teacher w/ Love of Pets!
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.

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.
Ratings and reviews
Caitlyn is wonderful! She took great care of our aging cat. Her warm energy stood out to us and made us feel so comfortable. Highly recommend Caitlyn!
Caitlyn took great care of our cat and dog while we were away, including some visits to the dog park. We especially liked getting several pictures a day of our pets and knowing that they were happy.
Caitlyn took excellent care of our kitties and our house with her several drop-in visits. We very much appreciated her communication and pictures, too, and it was a pleasure to get to know her.
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!
