Will squeal at cute dogs!
Pet care experience
I can walk and drop in anytime after 3:10pm Monday-Friday and anytime during the weekend! I am animal CPR (and human!) certified via the red cross. 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! 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 who is a spoiled little girl. 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 came to our rescue last minute and she was absolutely the best! The dogs (not the easiest) loved her and she was extra attentive and super detailed in her report. Definitely using her services again!!!
2nd time having Kaitlyn care for the fur babies and she is great!
Kaitlyn was great with my cat Alpha for a couple drop-in when I was out of town for the weekend. He's very social and she gave him lots of attention so that he wasn't as lonely while I was out. I also got detailed updates from her visits.
Thank you for taking such good care of Fitz & Felix!

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. 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.
