1-on-1 Pet Sitter, Pitbull Lover
Pet care experience
I'm a responsible, caring and friendly dog lover. I work full-time as an assistant buyer for an electronic company and consider myself a devoted animal lover and pit bull advocate. I've always been surrounded by dogs growing up; a mixed breed dog until middle school and a purebred chihuahua since high school. I've always wanted to own a pitbull and around 4 yrs ago, I got my pit Princess (she looks like Petey from the Little Rascals). When I moved out to live with friends, one of my roommates had 3 dogs that I would watch regularly (one with Alzheimer's, one that is owner-protective and one that was blind). As mentioned above, I have experience with taking care of a blind dog as well as administering oral medications. I hide the medication in a pill pocket, a soft treat or in peanut butter. Before dog sitting or taking your dog on a walk, I like to spend a couple minutes socializing with him/her so they can feel comfortable and trust that they are in good hands. I promise to be responsible and respectful towards your dog(s) and your instructions. I am beyond appreciative for the trust people place on me when they leave their dogs in my care and although I'm not a certified trainer, I'm always broadening my abilities on the correct ways of training.
Reviews
Kaitlyn has pet sat (a kitten and 2 pitbulls) for me many times. She is the first person I call when I have to be away from home and need someone to watch my pets. I would recommend her in a heartbeat! She not only takes my dogs for walks but she spend time with them making sure they run around and get plenty exercise.

Skills
Information Kaitlyn S. would like to know about your pet
Dog Walking: - is there a certain routine or schedule? - does he/she get along well with other dogs? - is there any behaviors I should be aware of? - does he/she need to be fed after the walk? Dog Sitting: - is there a certain daily schedule or routine? - if the stay is going to be long, please advise if I will need to give your dog a bath - does your dog know any commands that you would like me to adhere to?
A typical day
I prefer taking dogs on a walk around a park (not the dog park) so they can be in an environment where there is people and dogs around. I love playing catch off the leash (if your dog is trained off the leash).
