Highlights
Pet care experience
A life long pet lover and caregiver
I've owned dogs & cats my entire life. I helped in my brother's kennel, caring for & cleaning up after pitbulls, so "scary" dog breeds don't seem scary to me. :) I have cared for senior cats & dogs. I have experience in giving both medication, orally & topically. I have 8+ years of personal experience with rats, so I am more then happy to work with rodents & other small mammals! I have plenty of experience cleaning cages. I have experience caring for senior rats, as well as giving oral & topical medications. I have experience keeping freshwater fish. I know how to do water changes, replace filter cartages, vacuum gravel, comb sand, test water parameters, ect. I do not own birds, however, I have pet sat with them before. I currently pet sit for a caique & a macaw regularly. I have experience cleaning cages. I do not have experience giving birds any medication. I have limited experience with reptiles & invertebrates, however, I do not fear any of them. I am willing to learn how to care for both.

Ratings and reviews
Very reliably gave my dog his medication and communicated updates.
Catlyn was awesome! She did really great with my dog who was struggling with some scary thunderstorms. I never had to ask for updates! She sent lots of pictures and my house was spotless coming back home to. Totally will re-book!
Catlyn was great! We were in a pinch last minute with care for Castiel who has ridiculous anxiety and is in the process of relearning crate training and she did great with him and was super patient with his temper tantrums.
Catlyn was wonderful! My girls loved her and she did an amazing job caring for them. She administered medications, keeping in touch with me, sending pictures, and the house was immaculate upon my return. She is highly recommended!!! Thank you Catlyn!
Catlyn gave updates daily and sent pictures of our dog. She was great with communication and very sweet to our little guy!
Catlyn does an amazing job! It was comforting knowing she was caring for my dog overnight and took the time to send updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone.

Schedule
Pet care is mostly what I do! I live with 4 cats, rats, and fish - If I am not caring for my pets at home, I am caring for pets in another home! I do pet/house sitting for four dogs and two birds at least once a month. I am comfortable staying overnight in a clients house, and if the animals need around the clock care, I can stay in-home without issue.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to caring for other people's pets, I like following their instructions best! I love having rules, times, ect listed out for me. Does your pooch need breakfast at 7am sharp, with a sprinkle of cheese and 30 seconds in the microwave? Does your bird like to watch a sitcom before bed? Does your kitty NEED their favorite pillow fluffed in the evening? Does your older puppy relax best with a warmed up blanket? Well, just let me know and I'll try my very hardest to make sure your best friends are comfortable while you're away. Being away from one another is hard, both on the pets and their loving owners, so I enjoy sending photos of our fuzzy friends to their people.
Pets
A typical day
My typical day depends on who I'm pet sitting for! My schedule revolves around the animals in question and what they're used to. I want to mimic their usual routine as best as I can to try and alleviate stress where I can.
