About Kaitlyn D.

Safety, trust & environment
My Persian cat, Clementine (aka Clem, Lemy, Ms. Thing) is the queen of my apartment. Her health and safety is my number one priority (thankfully I have pet insurance) because I tell the vet, “whatever you do to your own pet, do it to mine”. I believe that being an animal owner means taking responsibility for their health and wellness. It is a non negotiable for me. This extends to my clients pets as well. Our animals deserve the best care we can provide. I also have an exotic shorthair named Bourbon! He rules the house and is fed a raw diet. This also means understanding our animals personality and temperament. Clementine knows her safe spaces in my apartment (where I won’t bug her). I believe it’s important for your animals to have those spaces where they can decompress and do their thing.
Information Kaitlyn D. would like to know about your pet
Temperament/any special needs. Anything else that will keep me and the dog safe. Does your dog wear a harness or collar on walks? How do they handle being walked - do they pull?
A typical day
As someone who has had dogs her entire life, but is now a (happy) cat owner, I am having serious dog withdraws. Walking dogs is fun for me, so I’ll go anywhere! Neighborhoods, parks, dog parks, or nature reserves. I will run around, play, fetch, anything that the doggo wants!! My belly rubs are unmatched.

Pet care experience
I can walk and drop in anytime after 3:10pm Monday-Friday and anytime during the weekend! I am a local school teacher so I can only drop in after school! I am animal CPR (and human!) certified via the red cross. I have access to a car at all times. My love for animals knows no bounds, and I’ve been obsessed with them since I was little. I started house sitting as a teenager where I would babysit my neighbors two beagles. This solidified my love of animals. Hi, I'm Kaitlyn. I'm a huge animal lover and enjoy spending time outdoors and playing with dogs. Rain or shine, let me be your next dog walker or cat sitter! I am open to walking any type of breed, but my favorite breeds include mastiffs, bull terriers, and bulldogs. I have had six English bulldogs in my lifetime and they are my absolute favorite breed! I have over ten years of experience dealing with brachycephalic dogs. Give me a snoring, drooling, dog any day! I have a Persian cat, exotic shorthair, and a domestic shorthair. In my free time I enjoy reading, finding delicious donuts/foods, being outside, traveling, and baking. I'm currently a teacher in the area, so my schedule is limited to evenings and weekends! I had a bearded dragon for seven years, so I’m also a huge reptile lover! Cuddles are a must (assuming the animal loves to cuddle). I will follow the rules and ensure the animal is happy, safe, and calm. As a guest in someone’s house, I was raised to be polite and respectful of people’s belongings.
Reviews
Kaitlyn is the best! Very communicative and responsible and a great cat photographer :) Would definitely recommend!!
Thanks Katlin! Yoshi appreciates his walk even in the rain
Very professional and easy to work with. Provided a lot of good pictures of my cat and did all the cat-care related things you’d want from your sitter. Excellent communication before and during visit. Key drop off and pick up was easy. Overall very happy I chose her as my sitter and would do so again!
Professional and responsible!
