Pet care experience

A loving home away from home!

I'm a life long dog lover who is ready to care for your furry friends! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have been pet sitting for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I work freelance from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup. I cared for my soul dog for 13 years until he passed last year so I'm experienced with senior and special needs dogs as well. I absolutely love caring for senior dogs. I have also been fostering dogs with a rescue ever since, which has given me experience with lots of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. If I have a foster I will always add them to my profile so you can know! I have a comfortable home with lots of places to nap and a large rooftop patio for laying in the sun. I can't wait to welcome your dog into my home!

Kaitlin was pleasant and great throughout the whole time - from the meet & greet until we picked our pup up after our trip. We don’t leave our dog often, so I was very nervous before. Kaitlin took good care of him and kept me informed about everything and sent pictures. I would definitely recommend her.

Kaitlin was really great. She helped us out last minute in a time of need and was very reliable and communicative.

I was looking for someone who could watch my dog during the day while I was at work but didn’t want to leave him at a doggy daycare since he dosent do well with big dogs. He loves going to Kaitlin’s house & she makes it really easy. She has a large enclosed roof-top patio with a grass patch so I know he can enjoy being outside without worrying he might escape. He’s happy he’s not alone all day and I feel good he’s with someone who loves him like their own dog.

We are so lucky we found Kaitlin to babysit our little angels! Kaitlin was so professional & understanding of our dogs special needs from the get go so we felt safe leaving them with her. They stayed for a long weekend & she sent us photos and videos every day so we knew they were happy. Our dogs eat a special diet that can be annoying to prepare but Kaitlin was really good about not making it a big deal & they loved her patio! You can tell she LOVES dogs & we will 100% be using her next time we go out of town

Kaitlin is an excellent dog sitter! Most importantly - she loves dogs! And my dog loves her, I get a little jealous sometimes. She has a wonderful dog of her own that gets along really well with other dogs. She checks in from time to time to let us know know what fun they are all having. The pets get lots of attention and care in this household. Highly recommend!

Kaitlin is honestly the dog whisperer! When I first adopted my pup, he was very scared and nervous around new people, but Kaitlin was calm, relaxed, and made my little guy super comfortable. She loves to dog sit, and now she is my dogs BFF!!

Schedule

I work freelance from home so I am always around to be with your pet! Your dog will have as much company as they need. I'm not usually gone for long but I do sometimes have plans that take me out of the house, so your dog should be cool being left alone for short periods of time, whether free roaming or in a crate. But more often than not I am home with the dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

My dog was always allowed on all the couches and beds but I'm willing to work with you on however you need! Feel free to bring their favorite bed or I do have some here. At night whether they prefer their crate, their bed on the floor, or in bed with me it's not a problem! The neighborhood is great for walks so just let me know how often your dog is used to going. I also have a large roof top patio with a porch potty available! It's a great place to relax in the sun.

A typical day

I work from home and make sure to keep the dogs in whatever room I'm working from so during the day they will always be around me! Walks around the neighborhood and play sessions of course are typical. Let me know what your dog loves and we will be sure to make that happen!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences! I do prefer to host small/medium size (30 lbs and under). Let me know your dog's energy level - extremely high energy dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, and puppies may not always the best fit in this apartment. Senior dogs welcome! I can give medication as well as have experience with subcutaneous fluids and injections.
