Pet care experience

Extended family for your fur babies

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.

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.

Thank you so much for taking care of Kona while we were away! We could tell she was very content and happy when we got back. Pinto also appreciated the snuggles you provided. Thank you again for all your help/updates you provided and the great pictures :)

Kaitlyn did a great job checking in on my dogs. I appreciate that she came to meet them ahead of time and talk with us. I would definitely ask for her help again. Thanks!

This was our first time doing an extended stay for our doggos. Kaitlyn made it very easy and our dogs loved her. She sent photos, detailed texts, and was very responsive and understanding of our dogs’ unique needs as rescue dogs!

Kaitlyn is seriously amazing. My senior dog does not like everyone, but warmed to her on first meeting. She was consistent, kind, gave great updates, and took lots of sweet photos. Day 1, Kaitlyn had to take out our dog in a thunderstorm. She was patient and kind to him, and when all else failed, she carried him down the steps. All heros don't wear capes!

Kaitlyn is a great sitter. She was so kind to provide a meet and greet before booking as she was new to me and my cats. I have 4 cats that are in my care, and she was so patient with each one. She followed directions exactly, and provided great care. I highly recommend her!
