About: Hi there! I'm Caitlin, and for the past 13 years, I have gained extensive education, training, and experience with all types of animals. I have been with Rover since 2014 and have had over 190 clients through the years. As a proud professional, the experience under my belt includes: - Solo management of a small, rural cat shelter - Behavioral and adoption staff at a large urban animal shelter - Dog and cat training - Fear free certification - Management staff for boarding and daycare - Professional bathing/grooming - Exotic animal handling - Bachelor's degree in Animal Behavior Besides my professional experience, I have been a pet owner my whole life - dogs, cats, and exotics included! Right now - I have four beloved cats. ** Currently, my preferred clients are cats, small dogs, seniors, and more relaxed pets. I am not suited to care for strong, energetic dogs who need extensive exercise. ** In-home boarding and dog daycare are services I vet very extensively and am particular about due to my cats. While I do offer the services, it is always better to choose a house sit/drop in visit with me instead - these I can be much more flexible about. Some other services I provide beyond the basics include: - Wedding pet care and assistance - Pet transportation - Travel pet care and assistance - and more! I am a FULL TIME pet sitter! While some others may need to step out for a full work day, I commit my time to YOUR pet(s) and YOUR pet(s) only - which sets me apart from other sitters. You may see that my husband, Josh, is also on my profile. He will occasionally help me with some services, but I am the primary sitter. I will always let clients know if he is going to be present for any services. Safety for pets and myself is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments. I know how to use all types of equipment (leashes, collars, harnesses, e-collars, etc) with ease.

“Very nice people and effective communication for any issues or questions about my dog, Pluto Gave me updates during his stay with them! I also would like to thank them for working with me around my late arrival for pickup and thank them for taking him in, even if it was a last minute request.”

“Valerie took excellent care of Sherlock and Eren; she's very patient. Her house is spacious and comfortable, so they were happy and relaxed. Plus, she was available on December 31st, which was fantastic.”

About: I’m an outdoorsy girl with a big heart for dogs and a love of adventure. Seeing them happy genuinely matters to me, and I’ll go the extra mile for a wagging tail—whether that’s a walk full of interesting sniffs, extra playtime, or quiet company. With so much nature around me, there’s plenty to explore. Sunny days or snowy ones, I’m happy to head outside when it’s safe, always keeping your dog’s comfort, routine, and energy level in mind. I treat animals like my own children. Your dog’s little quirks, favourite games, and need for reassurance matter to me, because I want them to feel loved and secure while you’re away. Spending time outdoors is already a part of my life, so walks, fresh air, and adventures fit naturally into my routine. When caring for a pet, I plan around their feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and need for company. I make room for both the practical care and the little extras—playtime, cuddles, and time to settle in and feel comfortable. I care for pets like they’re my own children... with love, patience, and attention to the little things that help them feel safe. Before caring for them, I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs, so I can follow your instructions and keep things familiar. In your home, I respect your space and keep your pet’s usual routine, from meals and walks to litter care and favourite resting spots. In my home, I focus on helping them settle in comfortably, with introductions and time to explore at their own pace. Walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are always suited to your pet and the weather, with plenty of rest and affection along the way. I’m also happy to share photos and updates so you can see how your loved one is doing.

“This is the first time I’ve left my pups with a private daycare and I was nervous about it. I shouldn’t have been! My dogs loved it and they now run up the stairs to Alexis when we arrive in the morning. Alexis is a great communicator and I appreciate the pictures she sends. We are now regulars and I highly recommend Alexis!”

About: One of my biggest passions is saving animals lives through fostering. My fostering experience has provided me many skills necessary to care for animals with varying needs, including young kittens, diabetic cats, XXS chihuahuas, and XXL breed dogs. Due to my experience in healthcare, I've provided many sub-cutaneous injections for diabetes maintenance and drug responsibilities. I've handled many small rodents including mice, and am comfortable with handling and providing care for smaller pets. I've managed care for animals with severe anxiety by providing them with daily psychiatric meds, and animals needing physical support with supplements, weight loss interventions (diet foods and safe, increased exercise), as well as animals with stranger fear. As a full time professional student, my mornings are often occupied by lectures, and Tuesday/Wednesday afternoons may be partially occupied for school responsibilities. I am very flexible, and can attend to pet care duties before, in between, and after my classes. I am open to over night stays and higher-maintenance care tasks, such as providing care for animals that require behavioral or psychiatric support during their family members absence. I enjoy playing with pets, within their boundaries of comfort. I have become apt at recognizing animals mood states, so I can properly respond to fear, excitement, anxiety, pulling on the leash, and over reactivity as necessary. I enjoy taking dogs on frequent walks if that is comfortable for them, and give occasional treats to reward 'good' behavior, such as sitting or laying down on command, and waiting to be fed. I am comfortable being cuddly with animals, and being very close and physical with them, if that fits in their boundaries. In my apartment I cannot host dogs, however, there are many parks and fields right in my backyard that I can bring your dogs to that they will enjoy.

“Mary and her family are absolutely AMAZING with our puppy, Scout! She communicates and sends me pictures throughout the day and after only one day of daycare, the next time he saw her he was SO excited!! Her sweet dog, Maggie, has taken Scout under her wing and is so good with him. I cannot say enough good things! I feel like we hit the lottery by finding Mary to care for our sweet boy when we are at work. He leaves ever day happy and exhausted!”

About: I have looked after many dogs; small, medium, and large in the home of the pet owner as well as my own. I look after many of my dogs on a regular basis, and I have a high reputation in excellence. My dog charges are always happy to see their owners on their return, but are also always so happy to see me when I arrive or they are dropped off. I am very adaptable and have proven experience in many dog sitting situations. Some dogs require special diets, special care and special medical attention. I have a laid back, calm nature and I am able handle dogs of all temperaments. I love dogs and enjoy all aspects of their care, be it dog walking, dog sitting or dog visits. I am an active senior, walking and swimming daily, and I have plenty of energy to interact with your pup. I have a part time job, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings, out of the house for 2 hours maximum. I have a fenced in yard and a very calm and loving 5 year old rescue corgi/jack russell mix who gets along with all dogs, and I have looked after many.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child and always aspired to be a veterinarian. I ended up changing my goal to wanting to open a animal shelter so that I can help out in that way and provide support for homeless animals. I am currently working on achieving that goal. If you allow me to spend time with your pet I promise you that they will receive the best care in my hands! I will treat them like they’re mine and like they’re my babies because I know that that is how most people view their pets and I would want someone to do the same for me and my pets. Thank you in advance for allowing me to take care of your animals! I have open availability as of right now! You can book me any time you need! I hope that I meet every expectation that you have and that you have an amazing day! I care for pets by first showing love and affection! Then by fulfilling whatever needs the pet or the owner has! It’s important for me to get to know your pet so that I be able to do whatever I can for them!

About: What sets me apart is my versatile experience caring for dogs, cats, and rabbits. Beyond daily care and managing my own two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi, I specialize in positive reinforcement training for puppies and administering gentle, patient care for senior animals. As a doctoral student, my schedule offers a great deal of flexibility, making it easy to seamlessly integrate pet care into my day. My daily routine is already anchored by morning and evening care for my two-year-old Siberian mix, Jiaozi. Because I spend a significant amount of time studying and working from home, I can comfortably accommodate midday dog walks, frequent potty breaks, and consistent feeding schedules while providing plenty of companionship. Whether in your home or mine, safety and routine are my top priorities. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow your instructions regarding feeding, walking, and house rules to ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also treat your space with the utmost respect and keep it clean. In my own home, I maintain a calm and safe atmosphere. I have a two-year-old Siberian mix named Jiaozi, so any visiting pets will have careful, supervised introductions, and I can easily separate spaces if needed to ensure everyone remains comfortable and stress-free. No matter the location, I always send plenty of photo and text updates so you can have complete peace of mind.

“Took care of Saoirse well! Took her to outings to help with her socializing, she had lots of fun and came home happy and sleepy a lot less nibbly too! Excellent sitter even accepted a last minute request for me and she'll be seeing her again tomorrow too!”

About: I've been working with, caring for and training dogs since 1993 when I got my first pup (an Old English Sheepdog) and read the Brian Kilcommons book "Good Dogs Great Owners". I've worked with dogs of many breeds, energy levels and ages. Trust your dog with someone who knows what he's doing. Fully fenced with two well-socialized house dogs to play with. I currently work from home part-time computer consulting/contracting. I have two dogs of my own so daily care of dogs is part of my normal routine. I provide calm assertive leadership and supervision. I provide exercise via walks or runs with the bike. I have walked as many as six dogs at once.

“Felipe is a caring and kind dog lover who took care of our dog well. She is a picky eater and Felipe is so patient in feeding her! She got plenty of exercise and she looked so happy the whole time she was with Felipe!!! Recommended!!!!”

“Erica did an excellent job of caring for my Dolly. We were certain she was having a blast while we celebrated our Anniversary at Skylon Tower. She was happy to get us back, but I’m sure she sniffed every inch of the house and yard! Thanks Erica! We will definitely use you again when we come back to New York!”

About: I have always loved dogs and taken care of them. I have a Maltese who is very active and loves to play. We have ample of space in our house to ensure your dog is comfortable. I work from home, so will be available daily to take care of your pet. I usually take my dog out to relieve himself every 3-4 hours. I have a yard and will ensure to take your pet for walks. We also have a dedicated room for my dog to play and your pet can share the room with him.

“We now call Dena, Aunt Dena, because for the short 8 weeks we were in Buffalo for work she and her family became Goose’s family. I can not say enough kind things about her and her family, all around great people and caretakers. I am positive that Goose misses his friends in Buffalo, I know I do, and hope to one day be back to visit. I am so thankful for all the time, commitment, and love she put into Goose.”
