Safety, trust & environment

Our home is fully fenced. If the weather is nice, we play a lot in the backyard. We love going for walks and being active. But we also love couch snuggles and relaxing. I have a 12 year old daughter who loves to help and loves all animals as well as a two year old. They both understand safety precautions for high stress pets and desires to be a best friend to all fur-babies. My personal dog is a 20ish pound pug. He loves to lay by the window and watch outside. He is the best doggy host and loves having friends over to play. He actually gets sad on the rare occasion that I don’t have a booking.

Information Kaitlin M. would like to know about your pet

Before booking a service for any animal, I would prefer a meet and greet. This ensures your pet is familiar with who I am and sees I am safe. This also ensures you’re comfortable with me and I can answer any questions you may have in person. If there are any medications or special instructions for your pet, the initial meet and greet is the place to walk me through that.

A typical day

We will go on walks in my neighborhood or your neighborhood (depending on the type of service scheduled). I live walking distance to two parks and love taking fur-babies there often. If the weather is icky, I love finding things indoors that will give the pet playtime. My yard is very large and provides lots of space outside for play. Attached to the doggy room is a large screened in covered porch outside. This area allows dogs to enjoy to benefits of being outside without being fully in the yard. I also have a second living room that I have converted into a dog room. It’s a safe and cozy space for the fur babies to play inside and sleep. There is adequate room for the kennels for the dogs who do kennel as well as a large, cozy couch. I also have a camera in there to keep a close eye on all things, an Alexa speaker to play relaxing music, and a tv that plays dog friendly shows.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Kaitlin. I’ve been around and have had dogs my whole life. Since 2017, I have done pet sitting & dog walking. I love getting outside with my clients dog; playing in the backyard or going on walks, I love it all! I was also a furbaby foster momma and volunteer with Rescue One, which I fostered for just over a year. I really loved taking in the animals that aren’t picked first, loving on them well and helping them find their forever home. I have excellent experience with senior dogs which includes administering medication, caring for multiple blind dogs, as well as dog with high anxiety. I have past experience with special needs dogs as well including those with epilepsy and seizures.

Kaitlin was especially communicative via txt during the whole process of setting up Maddy’s one night boarding. I felt totally confident on leaving and at pick up that Maddy was in good hands. I would not hesitate to use Kaitlin’s pet service again. She was accommodating about my short notice, rescheduling the right day, pick up and drop off times and dealt without complaint when Maddy reverted during her stay to an incident of nervous tinkles. Couldn’t be happier.
