Avid and active animal lover!!

Pet care experience

If you are looking for someone who will provide an engaging walk for your dog no matter the weather or time of year, I am the woman for you! As a dog walker, I am committed to keeping animals, both young and old, healthy and loved. I have experience with dogs up to 80 lbs. I change up routes each day and would be able to share those walk routes with you either via a screenshot of a tracking app such as Strava or google maps. Typically I walk through one to two parks each walk and allow your dog to get his or her sniffs in. I am also conscious of the temperature in the various seasons and in hotter months stick to routes with greater amounts of shade. I can also bring water on routes if OKed by the owner. l grew up taking care of a multitude of animals from cats and dogs to guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, and lizards. I love animals old and young and have experience caring for pets from babies to seniors. I am committed to an active lifestyle and going on walks and take my own dog on multiple walks a day rain, sun, or snow. I have also free lanced as a pet sitter for both dogs and cats for multiple families from a few days to weeks at a time.

Really pleased with Kaitlyn. I contacted her last minute about dog walking and she responded super quickly. She took care of my puppy and my older dog and went above and beyond to share updates and pictures from the walk. I will definitely be booking again.

Absolutely amazing she was very sweet with my cat and did everything I asked with the food water and litter box. Absolutely no complaints would definitely hire her again. Thank you so much for your help with the rizz!

Kaitlyn has taken care of our puppy Ivy twice now, house sitting and walking. Both times she was highly professional and wonderful with Ivy! Would happily recommend and ask Kaitlyn to come back.

Safety, trust & environment

I would care for pets as described and asked for by the client at his or her house and follow their rules/instructions. I will not be hosting pets at my own home. When walking dogs (or cats if that’s an option) I will always pick up waste left by the animals and keep them close enough to have control while also allowing them to enjoy their walk. I am a big believer in changing up routes so that they can have variety in smells and experiences.

I have a full time job that is now remote as a result of the pandemic. I am able to work anywhere and would be able to stop by to take care of pets and stay a bit as long as I have my laptop. I also can walk dogs during lunchtime during the week or on weekends.
