Loving Stay at Home Pet Sitter

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn! I’ve had a love for animals since I got my first dog at age 5, and caring for pets has been a passion ever since. Whether it’s walking, feeding, bathing, or playing, I’ve always enjoyed spending time with pets. I have been dog-sitting professionally for over a year now, both on Rover and off, and my family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets as well. I bring that same level of care and attention to yours.

I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and has a great time while they’re with me! I believe in building a strong connection with both you and your pet, giving them the attention and care they deserve.

Serious inquiries only, please. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions to help you understand what to expect during your dog’s stay with me. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out!

I specialize in small dogs and only accept pups that weigh between 15 to 20 pounds.

Dogs stay in my cozy, dog-friendly home—never in kennels or crates (unless requested by the owner). It’s a safe, clean, and relaxed environment with plenty of cuddle space.

Yes! I welcome both puppies and senior dogs, as well as those with special needs. Just let me know their specific routines or care instructions.

Absolutely. I’m experienced with oral medication administration and will follow your instructions carefully.

I’m an experienced dog sitter with 16 years of hands-on dog care experience and excellent reviews on Rover. While I’m not formally certified, I have a strong track record of providing safe, loving, and reliable care—especially for small dogs.

Yes, I require a deposit to secure your booking when reserving directly through me. The deposit is refundable if you cancel at least 7 days before your booking start date. This helps me manage my schedule and hold your spot with care and consideration.

For direct bookings, I require a deposit via Zelle to secure your spot. I will provide my Zelle number when I reach out to confirm your booking inquiry. The remaining balance for the stay can be paid either in cash or through Zelle at the time of Drop-off.

 

To ensure each pup receives plenty of attention and a calm environment, I keep the group small—usually just 3 to 4 dogs at a time. If your dog prefers one-on-one care, solo stays can be arranged upon request.

I’m available daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Early drop-offs before 8:00 AM include a $30 fee, and pickups must be no later than 11:00 PM.

Yes! I send daily photos and updates so you can feel confident your pup is happy and well cared for.

Please bring their food, any medications, and anything familiar—like a favorite toy, blanket, or bed—to help them feel at home. If your dog uses a crate or prefers sleeping in one, please bring that along as well.

You can book through my Rover profile or contact me directly. To book directly, please head to my Contact page and fill out the form—be sure to include your phone number! I’ll follow up with you via text message to confirm availability and discuss your request.

Yes, I’m home all day. I’m currently a full-time online college student, which allows me to stay home—especially during bookings—to provide your pup with the consistent care, attention, and companionship they need throughout the day.

Yes, I provide potty breaks every 0-2 hours throughout the day, based on your dog’s routine and schedule. I also take dogs on walks, tailored to their needs and energy levels. Plus, I have a fenced yard where they can play and go potty safely throughout the day.

Yes, I do accept bookings on holidays! However, please note that I charge a holiday rate for bookings made on major holidays. Feel free to reach out for details on specific rates for each holiday.
