Pet care experience

Student who loves working with dogs

I’ve been working with pets in the Triangle area for five years. I have experience house-sitting and walking small, medium, large, and very large (St. Bernards) breeds, and have worked with puppies and senior dogs. I am comfortable walking multiple dogs at once, including very large breeds. I’ve administered oral medications, managed antibiotic rounds, and regularly given daily pills. I’ve cared for dogs post-surgery and have experience washing and dressing wounds. I am very comfortable with “aggressive breeds,” as I own two pit/boxer mixes, as well as reptiles (I own a snake!)

Safety, trust & environment

For Drop-ins, I typically spend a few extra minutes with your pup to let them play or give them some extra love before I leave. I am happy to crate your pets or leave them out to roam your home when I leave. If your pet is stubborn about listening, eating, being crated, etc. I am very patient but not opposed to (approved) treat-based bribery if need be. For walks in this summer heat, I am vigilant for over-heating and will keeps walks short, shady (as best I can), and off the pavement.

House Sitting • Juli 15, 2026

When I met Kaitlin at the meet and greet I knew that I could trust her with my dogs in my home. She listened to the dogs needs and was there for them. She stayed late on the 4th of July as one of my two dogs is so afraid of fireworks. Kaitlin can follow medication needs. Sent pictures of the dogs at play and one of the dogs, the shy one, with her, by her side. I’ve scheduled Kaitlin for another long weeks.

Our dogs love Kaitlin. We rebooked drop in visits with her after seeing how comfortable our dogs were around her and the wonderful care and attention she provided to them. She also went out of her way to bring some packages that were delivered to our house inside to keep them from getting rained on. Thank you for going above and beyond!

Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their time with Kaitlin. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We'd definitely book again and highly recommend her!

Kaitlin was my regular petsitter for two medium-large dogs for 2 years. She made daily work week stops, and she also took care of my dogs while I was on vacation. She was always reliable, and I never had to worry whether she would show up. She was also very open to special requests as needed. She took such great care of my two dogs. I miss her; my dogs loved her, and I would highly recommend her.

Kaitlin is great with our dogs that are quite a handful and have several health issues! She is very patient, reliable and we completely trust her with our pups. She also follows our ever evolving medication situation with ease. She clearly loves dogs, we highly recommend her!

Schedule

I’m currently on summer break until mid-August, so my hours are very flexible! Drop-Ins can be scheduled as early as 8am or as late as 10pm. For summer-time walks, I’d prefer to schedule for mornings or mid-to-late afternoons to avoid the extreme heat (and to keep your pup’s paws safe!)

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Kaitlin can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet is reactive on leashes or has any special needs I can account for! If you have a large dog that has a habit of jumping or can get over-excited enough to knock a person over, I’d appreciate the heads-up before I meet them!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
