All around animal enthusiast!

Pet care experience

I am an avid animal lover with around seven years of personal and professional pet care experience, with two sweet pups of my own at home. Professionally I have experience with house sitting, feeding, bathing, grooming, and walking (and playing of course ). I have had experience with special needs animals such as dietary restrictions and monitoring. One of my own dogs has allergies, sensitive skin and anxiety issues and takes a lot of patience and exercise, so I have experience working with animals that need a bit more work and attention. I have no issues watching, feeding or walking large dogs, dogs with behavioral issues or dogs with disabilities or special needs. I have previously worked with a large range of breeds, sizes and ages of animals and feel I can provide a lot of love and attention to your pets.

Kaitlyn was excellent with our dogs. They were calm, relaxed and happy when we got home and the house was clean!

I've known Kaitlyn for over 30 years and I cannot imagine a kinder or more considerate human being or more genuine animal lover. Animals and people alike are drawn to her gentle sweetness and authentic personality. I would wholeheartedly trust her with any job.

Kaitlyn is my go-to dog sitter. My pups love her like family and know it's play time when she comes over! I have one with serious separation anxiety that gets very needy without Dad around. She's extra attentive to him and always remembers the little routines that put him at ease. She's great with all breeds, and her love for dogs really shows. A+

An absolute pleasure to work with! We have two large and very energetic Pitts. Kaity took care of their needs with great professionalism and kindness :)

Information Kaitlyn D. would like to know about your pet

Before meeting a potential new pet to care for I like to know their age, temperament, how they respond to other animals and people and their activity level. As well as any allergies or medical diagnosis.

A typical day

I love to hike in the woods, play frisbee, ball and create fun puzzle treat rewarding games with my dogs. My older dog goes absolutely nuts for Frisbee, he requires it at least twice a day!
