Pet care experience

A playpal for my own, dog park too!

I grew up with a dog since I was six. I have loved dogs since a very early age, and even moving away for college, I lived with dogs regularly, and would be the go-to dogsitter when my friends or family were away. I rescued my own three years ago, a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and I absolutely adore him! I think what sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to be at the apartment with them full-time. I work remote, which means I can take the dogs on potty breaks more often, and dedicate more time to playing or interacting with them. With having a dog on my own, this allows for your dog to have a playpal or snuggle buddy. My apartment complex also has a large dog park sectioned off into two parts (a small dog section and large dog section), and this would also give the puppers a chance to run around off-leash.

Safety, trust & environment

I do live in an apartment, so there is no yard, but I do have a fenced in patio on the first floor. I also have access to our complex's dog park, so there is time throughout the day where the dogs can be off-leash. With boarding (overnight stays) I will follow my current schedule with my own pet (but of course making accommodations if needed!) If this is a day-care or play date, this can be fit into my schedule during work, but will vary on outside time/walks based on my work schedule.

Very very caring sitter!! She went above and beyond during my dogs visit and time at her home. She kept me up to date the whole time and sent photos of my dog. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog over night with her and will definitely be using her again!

Caitlyn was a fantastic dog sitter for our little toy maltipoo Bailey. She was professional, friendly, and always made sure Bailey was well-hydrated, fed, and comfortable. Caitlyn is a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.

Schedule

I work remote full-time, so I am at the house all day. I usually start work around 9am, and I usually fit in a workout before. I'm a 9-5, but I have the ability to take breaks when needed, and once 5pm is up, I am usually free for the rest of the day to spend time with the dogs. For instance, with my dog, I will wake up early to go workout (take him potty and feed him first). I then come back, let him out right before work, and I will then let him out every 2-3 hours, depending on when they need to go/when I am free. After work, I let him out again, feed him, and then let him out once more before bed. Weekends, I may be out, but I try to never leave him alone for more than 3 hours.

I would say behaviorally is going to be the most important; this is just so I can accommodate noise, interaction, space, or bathroom breaks for your dog and their needs! Kona is very friendly, and once playing around with another dog, will go on his own. I can really take any breed, but I would prefer to know the breed ahead of time (just to gauge size :) ) and if your dog has any preference with other breeds. (For reference, mine is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix and is about 69-70 pounds).
