Pet care experience
Thanks for visiting my profile! I've volunteered at a nonprofit shelter dedicated to helping dogs find their forever homes. During my volunteer experience I was able to learn valuable tips on how to properly handle dogs while walking, feeding, playing with, and cleaning up after them as well as bonding with them to gain their trust. I've done drop ins and walks for various clients in the past, but most clients have had more than one pup for me to take care of. Given my experience with dogs while growing up, owning a few myself over the years, currently raising a puppy, volunteering, and Rover bookings, I can ensure that I am a responsible and caring fit for your pup's needs. I do ask that during our "meet and greet" (or messaging back and forth if you prefer) that you inform me of everything I need to know about your pet. Mainly: their exercise and behavior habits, bathroom habits (if they need to be walked in order to poop, things like that), how they are around other dogs, their escape tactics (so I can outsmart them!), eating habits, treats, and any other routines you'd like me to follow for you. For example: I once was a regular drop in sitter for a family who asked me to have their dogs "sit" before I'd feed them. If you and your pup have a routine route that you'd like me to follow during walks - let me know! I will go above and beyond to accommodate your dog while keeping them in their environment. If you are interested in booking with me please message me with your expectations of what you want from a sitter so I can make sure we are a good fit. As always, let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I hope to hear from you soon!
Reviews
Caitlyn is awesome! She does drop in visits for my dog and my puppy. She always stays long enough for them to be tired out when they have to go back in their kennels and she gives the puppy lunch! She is always on time and communicates very well!
Caitlyn has done a great job and I would recommend her to anyone in the area.
Caitlyn babysits my dog Winston all the time for me. She is so awesome and caring towards him and has a natural instinct on what to do when it comes to dogs. My dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited when she comes to my house. There is no better person for this job than Caitlyn!

Safety, trust & environment
Please let me know if your pup isn’t allowed in certain rooms, on furniture, any dietary restrictions, bathroom habits, etc. The more I know, the better I can safely care for your pup and keep a comfortable environment for them!
Information Caitlyn P. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences! Please let me know if your dog is skittish, super friendly, or needs a little time to warm up to others. Also, please let me know if they generally get along well with other dogs (important to know for walks). Knowing their favorite toys, treats, tricks, and forms of praise are also greatly appreciated as well as anything else I need to know to provide you with exceptional dog care.
A typical day
Walks around your neighborhood, playing fetch in the yard or home (if it's a small pup, of course!), practicing tricks for treats, and anything else you'd like for us to do!

Availability
I work full time but am available on most weekends. I have a dog of my own so I’d have to make sure she is either comfortable with your dog or taken care of before I can commit to giving my full attention to your pup!
