Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a fenced yard, but I am very fond of taking dogs for walks and feel comfortable with using a leash in my own yard. I have a small front yard and a large back yard. I also have an extra long leash that allows for your pup to run around the yard, while I hold the end.

Information Kaitlyn M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what works best for your animals! I have spent time with animals that immediately want love and pets, as well as animals that need some time to get comfortable. I always want to do what works best for the fur babies.

A typical day

I love to give pets an appropriate amount of stimulation and activity. I have two high energy dogs that need a lot of mental and physical stimulation throughout the day. I have worked with dogs that also just love to hang around, have a short walk, and get lots of pets. With cats, I love to gain their trust if they don’t immediately feel comfortable. Usually, I will play with some of their favorite toys with them or do a treat game.

Pet care experience

I’m very dedicated to the overall well being of your pet. I am dedicated to ensuring they are safe, well cared for, and have fun while I am with them! I am a lover of the all pets. I love energetic but completely understand pets that are shy and need time or even just prefer to be alone. I am skilled with training puppies, and teaching tricks and commands, as well as working on house training. I have two very energetic dogs of my own, that I have trained and worked with since they were puppies. I have personally taken care of dozens of senior dogs that need specialized care and love. I also have extensive experience with cats. I have two babies of my own, both with varying needs and difference. My oldest cat, Milo, is 10 years old and is very shy and slightly difficult with food. My younger cat, Freddie, is 3 years old and is very spirited and loves everyone and all food.

We’re very grateful to have Kaitlyn be our go-to cat sitter. She’s a fantastic communicator, reliable, and she’s made friends with our persnickety cat so we know she’s in good hands when we’re away.

Kaitlyn, was amazing with my cats - very patient and caring. Even my very very shy tortie, warmed up to her in just a couple days. Would highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
