Compassionate Care for Your Pet

Pet care experience

I have experience working with a variety of animals, including exotic species. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I have a cat of my own and also dog-sit for family members on occasion. I’m passionate about providing safe and loving care for every pet.

I worked with Kaitlyn on a zookeeping team and was consistently struck by her compassion towards the animals in her care and her helpfulness towards her fellow humans. Her strong work ethic, attention to detail, timely and transparent communication, and skill at observing animal behavior make her an amazing animal caregiver. She is an expert at all aspects of animal care across an impressive variety of species, including handling, medication, exercise, enrichment, feeding, watering, cleaning, weighing, record-keeping, and managing complex social interactions with other animals and people. I highly recommend Kaitlyn as a caregiver for your pet!

Kaitlyn has been caring for my dog for over five years, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly kind-hearted, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals. My dog is very much a creature of habit, and Kaitlyn always takes the time to carefully follow my instructions and routines so my dog feels comfortable, secure, and happy. What really sets Kaitlyn apart is both her professional background and her natural connection with animals. She has a degree in animal behavior, has interned at a wildlife center, and has worked at an AZA-certified zoo. Her knowledge and experience are obvious in the way she interacts with my dog — she is patient, attentive, and understanding of my dog’s quirky personality. Most importantly, my dog loves her. Every time Kaitlyn leaves, my dog wants to go with her, which says it all. I feel at ease knowing my dog is with someone who truly cares. Kaitlyn could have pursued a higher-paying career path, but she chose to dedicate her life to working with animals because it is genuinely her passion. Anyone who trusts Kaitlyn with their pets will quickly see the level of care, compassion, and professionalism she brings to her work.
