All Kinds Animal Care

Pet care experience

Available early mornings, nights, weekends and holidays! I started a new job working 8-5. Price increase: Unfortunately, due to extremely high fuel costs, I have raised my prices on all services to make up for increased expenses due to travel. This will include a $5 minimum travel fee for all visits out of my normal service range. Feel free to message me to discuss. I am a class of 2018 Virginia Tech biology graduate and Blacksburg native. I have owned pets of all sorts ranging from dogs and cats to exotic reptiles, mammals, fish, and birds for my entire life and have been petsitting for almost as long. I have experience caring for animals of every size and age, from seniors to newborns, species ranging from tropical fish to wildlife to dogs and cats. I am comfortable with pets of any size or care level, including animals with behavioral issues or pets with special needs. I am comfortable with medicating animals if needed, giving pills, injections, subq fluids, etc and have been trained to do so. I can also work on basic obedience and leash manners when I visit or provide basic grooming services such as baths ($10,) brushing or nail trims. My dogs are both involved in dog sports so I could also see if your dog would be interested in any of the sports I have experience with (agility, obedience, disc,) while I watch them. I am currently the proud owner of two mixed breed dogs, Samwise and Hazel, a young cat named Blondie and a kitten named Miner. In addition, I have a small collection of reptiles and a young bird named Nugget. During a booked visit or walk, I will do everything in my power to make your pet feel comfortable and loved. I will treat your furry family members like they are my own. I also provide basic house needs such as retrieving mail, watering plants, etc. Feel free to contact me any time for your pet sitting needs.

Kaitlyn took such good care of Willow and Sasha. Highly recommend! She made sure they got a lot of walking in to tire them out and made sure meds were given when needed. You won’t regret booking with her, she communicates well and keeps you updated!

Information Kaitlyn B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about your pet's medical history, if they pull on leash, if pets must be fed separately, any behavioural quirks etc. I do not discriminate against animals with behavioral problems but do want to know in advanced what to expect. No breed preferences or restrictions at all.

A typical day

I love hiking and can take dogs on short hikes or walks around town. I have experience training and we can work on basic tricks, obedience and leash manners on walks or visits. I compete with my older dog in frisbee leagues and both of my dogs are AKC trick dog titled, so we could work on learning a new sport or trick while you are away. If you would like your dog to have a fun adventure, feel free to book me for a longer walk (1 hour and up) and I could take your dog to one of the many fun places around the area to hike, swim or run on a long line to their heart's content.

I work full-time in early childhood education. Because of this, I can only accept one or two morning bookings per day at maximum. However, my evenings and weekends are generally completely available and I would love to make it work in order to provide care for your pet! Always feel free to reach out.
