Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate Care You Can Count On
I bring a wide range of hands-on animal care experience that goes far beyond typical pet sitting. I’ve worked with animals of all kinds—from training dogs and caring for cats to handling farm animals like calves and horses. I’m comfortable managing pets with different temperaments, including anxious, reactive, or previously abused animals, and I take pride in helping them feel safe and cared for. I’m highly detail-oriented and quick to learn each pet’s routine, which allows me to notice subtle changes in behavior, health, or mood. I also have experience supporting both young and senior pets, including administering basic care, reinforcing training, and providing extra patience and attention where needed. What really sets me apart is my reliability, strong work ethic, and genuine love for animals. I treat every pet like my own and strive to create a calm, safe, and positive environment while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and respect are at the core of the care I provide. I strictly follow all instructions, rules, and boundaries by the owner to ensure their pet’s routine and environment remain consistent and secure. I make it a priority to double-check that all doors are properly closed and lock before leaving your home, giving you a piece of mine while you’re away. I am dependable and punctual, always showing up when expected, and completing every task with care and attention to detail. I also ensure to leave your home, clean and well-maintained. My consistent, compassionate approach, not only build trust with pet owners also helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and at ease in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Kaitlyn did an excellent job watching our dog Lula! She was a great communicator, prompt and let me know what to expect each step of the way as this was my first time using Rover. Our communications were easy, she sent pics and was very professional. Our house was left spotless and our puppy was happy! Would definitely love to use her again when we travel!
Kaitlyn is the best! We were able to schedule a meet and greet and drop-in visit last minute and she was extremely accommodating. Kaitlyn is very experienced and was able to handle our reactive/high energy German shepherd with ease.
Kaitlyn was great with Maggie. She took her for walks and kept her company so that she didn’t experience any separation anxiety. I will definitely book Kaitlyn again!!
Kaitlyn pet/house sat for us recently, and we are so grateful for her help. She kept us regularly informed of our babies and was comfortable asking questions. It was wonderful knowing we had someone we could trust taking care of our critters!
Kaitlyn took exceptional care of both my dog and cat. I was absolutely amazed that my cat snuggled with her something she’s never done with anyone except me. My dog too fell in love with her. Kaitlyn was communicative throughout my time away which alleviated my anxiety especially seeing pictures of them interacting with her. I will definitely rehire Kaitlyn in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for a safe, dependable and loving sitter.
This was Kaitlyn’s first visit with our dog. She is punctual and friendly, and it is obvious that she likes animals. We appreciated her help today and will book again!

Schedule
I work a full time 9–5 job during the week, but I’m very flexible before and after work! I’m happy to offer early morning or evening drop-in visits throughout the work week. I also have open availability on weekends for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I’m more than happy to stay in your home during the work week as well, as long as your pets are comfortable being on their own for about 8 hours while I’m at work. Outside of those hours, I’ll be there to give them plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own!

- I value having a meet & greet before each stay so I can get to know you, your pets, and their individual needs. I also appreciate having accurate and up-to-date information in each pet’s profile, including their routines, preferences, and any special instructions. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away!
