About Kaitlyn H.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m a big advocate for crate training when the animals can’t be supervised (which will be minimal) I also have several cameras to monitor the house when I have to run errands or work. At your house I will update you frequently with photos!
Information Kaitlyn H. would like to know about your pet
How is your pet on a leash and with strangers? Are they kennel trained? Do they do okay around children? How are your pets with other animals?
A typical day
I love a good puzzle as well as dog play time with Turk the Aussie :). If comfortable, we will go on walks as well around the neighbor and local parks!

Hey! I’m Kaitlyn :)
Pet care experience
I’m a professional counselor by day and an animal lover always. I share my home with an Aussie, a German Shepherd, and two cats. As a dog mom to a reactive pup, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and sensitivity. I’m experienced with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs, and I’m comfortable administering medication and following detailed care routines. I’ve also cared for pets with allergies and other sensitivities, so I know how to keep them comfortable and safe. Every pet I care for is treated like my own with love, structure, and a few healthy snacks (carrots, pumpkin, or watermelon are favorites!). I also have experience caring for nontraditional pets, so if you have a scaly or feathered friend, I’m happy to help! Working with people has taught me the value of empathy, communication, and reliability—skills I bring into every pet-sitting experience. I offer in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I do my best to stick to your pets’ normal routines to reduce stress while you’re away. During the week, I’m generally available for morning and lunchtime walks or visits, with flexibility to adjust if discussed ahead of time. I can sometimes work remotely from your home, giving your pets extra company and care throughout the day. Your pets won’t be left alone for more than 4 hours (just for short errands), and you’ll always receive clear communication and updates. Before any booking, I like to schedule a meet-and-greet to get to know your pets and review their routines and preferences. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🐾

Reviews


Kaitlyn took good care of my cats while I was on vacation. She is very dependable and punctual with her visits. One of my cats hid (I knew that would happen) when she came but was provided with the food and water that she needed. My second cat bonded very well with her and got the TLC on top of being fed. I would certainly recommend her and I will use her in the future.

She did an amazing job and my dog loved her! Definitely gonna book her again for my next vacation
Great job. Thankyou for caring for my dogs



Kaitlyn was a joy to meet and took great care of my feline babies. I would book her again without reservation.
