Availability
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally schedule my availability to ensure pets receive consistent attention, proper exercise, and timely meals and medications. With my background as a veterinary technician, I’m very accustomed to structured care schedules, monitoring routines, and adapting to each pet’s specific needs. I prioritize regular check-ins, enrichment, and calm one on one time, and I plan my days so pets are never rushed or overlooked. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, or extra monitoring for puppies, seniors, or medical cases, pet care is a planned and reliable part of my routine, not an afterthought.

About Kaitlyn J.

Safety, trust & environment
For drop-ins and house sitting, I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow their normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and medications. I also monitor their health and behavior during each visit and make sure their space stays clean and safe. I always send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
Information Kaitlyn J. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medications or medical conditions ahead of time. It’s also helpful to know their personality, energy level, likes/dislikes, and any triggers or fears. For dogs, leash habits and potty routines are important, and for cats, litter preferences and hiding spots. This helps me provide the safest, most comfortable care possible.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s age, energy level, and personality. This can include walks, backyard play, enrichment games, puzzle toys, training refreshers, and plenty of cuddle time. For puppies and younger pets, I focus on positive play and routine building, while seniors and medical pets get calm activities, gentle movement, and extra comfort. Whether it’s playtime or quiet companionship, I make sure every pet feels engaged, happy, and relaxed.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with 7 years of hands on experience providing compassionate, skilled care to animals of all ages and medical needs. I have a strong background in pediatric care, critical care nursing, and monitoring medically complex patients, so you can feel confident your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I’m experienced in medication administration (oral, injectable, topical), post surgical care, monitoring vitals, recognizing early signs of illness or distress, and providing supportive care for senior pets and those with chronic conditions. I’m also comfortable caring for puppies, kittens, and pets that need extra patience, structure, or special routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and emotional well being are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, stress free environment while keeping you updated with regular photos and messages. Whether your pet is young, aging, or needs a little extra medical attention, I’m here to provide reliable, loving, and professional care while you’re away.
Reviews
We couldn’t be happier with the care our two bulldogs received! Kaitlyn was attentive, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. From the daily updates and photos to how relaxed our dogs were when we got home, we could tell they were in great hands. One of our bulldogs can be a bit stubborn, but Kaitlyn handled them both with patience and affection. We’ll definitely be booking again—highly recommend!
Kaitlyn recently watched my dog Carl and couldn't be happier! Kaitlyn took amazing care of Carl. Carl returned home very happy. I highly recommend Kaitlyn to any pet parent needing reliable and loving care!
Kaitlyn was great with our 16-year-old pit bull! At this age, she has mobility issues, bathroom issues, eating issues and meditation. Kaitlyn sent regular updates and was patient with all the special needs. She even washed all the bedding before pick up!
Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of our fur baby! She was very responsive and sent us lots of updates. We would definitely rebook with her again. Our pup came home very happy and healthy. :)
