Pet care experience
Marathon Dogs to Sleepy Pups
I HAVE BASE ACCESS TO JBER! I've been a lifelong dog enthusiast, growing up alongside my family's King Charles Cocker Spaniel and my grandparents' Yorkie. Currently, I am a dog mom to a handsome Border Collie, whom I adopted from a shelter when he was three months old. From the early days of potty training to fostering socialization and good manners, I've been deeply involved in every aspect of his life. My dedication to being the best dog mom led me to extensive research on dog health and training. In addition to my commitment to canine companionship, despite the demands of my work schedule, I've navigated the need for dog walkers and caretakers, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges pet owners face. Drawing from this experience, I assure you that your pup will receive the utmost care, and I'll keep you updated every step of the way. Both my canine companion and I are highly active—I'm a committed marathon runner, and now that my pup has the green light for longer runs, we share this activity regularly. For more energetic or running enthusiast dogs, I'm more than happy to do extended walks or jogs, ensuring they expend all their energy and remain content. With my Border Collie, I've explored puzzles and interactive games, accumulating a variety to provide mental stimulation. If your pup craves mental challenges, count on me to offer engaging activities. I also enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and would be thrilled to assist with your pup's training. Handling the grooming needs of my double-coated Border Collie has made me adept at the task. If your pup is grooming trained, I'm more than willing to take care of brushing and basic grooming. My caregiving extends beyond my own dog, as I've also cared for friends' large and older dogs, understanding the unique needs of those requiring extra downtime. I bring additional expertise to the table, having experience with giving medication, as my own pup has needed to take multiple medications in the past.

I am available for drop in visits and walks. I will follow all of your instructions perfectly and assure that your dog is as happy as can be. I am happy to do puzzles, go on long walks or runs, have snuggle sessions, work on training, make sure they have water and food, do any grooming you may wish, etc. with your pup during our hang out time.
Ratings and reviews
Prompt response, great communication, my dog had an amazing time!
Kaitlyn is an amazing dog walker! I am so thankful for her, she always sends the best pics!
Kaitlyn is amazing!! She has helped me a lot, particularly when my handsome aussie puppy was only several months old. On top of watching him while I was away, she played with him and hung out with him while I was super busy packing and moving. My puppy had a lot of puppy energy and she was great with him and helped get all his energy out. When I was gone, she sent me amazing photos and videos and made me feel like I was there with my pup. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing pet sitter, especially for very high energy puppies like my own.
Kaitlyn is so communicative. I really appreciated that and Sasha appreciated all the snuggles and love. :)
Me and my partner had Kaitlyn watch our 82lbs dog, Mr. Charlie Brown, while we were away on the other side of the country on a trip. She was great and sent lots of updates and videos. Mr. Charles is sensitive to skateboarders and sometimes scooters, which can be hard since we live in DC and are active in the skater community, but Kaitlyn handled it perfectly and was amazing with him. When I dropped him off with her, she was great at socializing her dog with our dog - CB is usually apprehensive but we knew he was in good hands. Everything was perfect and I definitely recommend her.
I recently took a last minute trip and Kaitlyn was an immediate yes to being able to help watch my dog when I was gone. She cuddled him, played with him, and took excellent care. Her communication was on point and she also shared tons of pictures of my sweet dog. She has her own dog that Charlie had a blast with! I will definitely be using her in the future!
