Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize the comfort, routine, and well-being of each animal. For dog walking, I ensure they get regular, safe, and stimulating walks based on their energy level and needs. For pet sitting, I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise schedules provided and make sure they have plenty of companionship and attention. Additionally, I keep the home clean and provide regular updates to the owner. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining the owner’s peace of mind.

Information Kaitlin U. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it's important to know a few key details to ensure their safety and happiness. I always ask about their daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any allergies. I also want to know how they interact with other animals and people, what commands they respond to, and any behaviors or triggers to be aware of (like fear of loud noises or separation anxiety). Understanding their personality, energy level, and favorite activities helps me provide the best possible care while you're away.

A typical day

When watching pets, I love to keep them active, happy, and engaged! Depending on their energy level and personality, I’ll take them on fun walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or explore their favorite toys. For more relaxed pets, I provide plenty of cuddle time, gentle brushing, and enrichment games to keep them mentally stimulated. My goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, entertained, and comfortable while their owner is away.

Kaitlin was awesome! Our putty is terrified of everyone and within the 15 minutes of meeting Kaitlyn she was licking her and wanting her to pet her. I will definitely use Kaitlin again!

I couldn’t be happier with how Kaitlin takes care of my two dogs when I am out of town! Kaitlin has taken the time to get to know each of my dogs’ unique personalities and needs. Kaitlin is not only very kind and loving with my dogs, but she is also very responsible and professional. My dogs adore her! It’s such a relief knowing they’re in such loving and capable hands. I highly recommend Kaitlin!

I've known Kaitlin for years and have always been impressed by her gentle, reliable, and attentive care of animals, particularly dogs. She's responsible, loving, and genuinely passionate about caring for pets and the needs of dogs.

She walked my two dogs when I was on vacation Barkley and Bella for 2 weeks and I can’t complain. Always there when she needed to be and the dogs loved her.
