About Caitlin

Kia ora! My name is Caitlin and I have been looking after people's pets in various ways for years.

Growing up, I was surrounded by animals, which led to my dream of pursuing a career in the animal industry. I am now a qualified zookeeper, working with a variety of animals in my day to day life.

From housesitting lifestyle blocks to popping in to feed people's cats, I have previous experience with rabbits, fish, cats, dogs, chickens, horses, sheep, pigs, cows, and deer, although most of my experience is with dogs.

Through volunteering at vet clinics and working at a dog kennel I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments. I also have experience orally medicating animals of a variety of species from my work in the zoo industry.

I am more than happy to care for your pet in your home, but as I am currently renting, I can't have any pets here.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Specific Skills

I speak English
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
Working at a dog kennel and cattery gave me plenty of experience with a range of dogs, including those with different behavioural needs. We could hold around 50 dogs at once, and so being able to read the behaviour of these animals was crucial. Having volunteered in vet clinics means I am also familiar with how to safely deal with animals in a stressful situation, or one they are not comfortable/familiar with. Working at a zoo also gives me a unique perspective to working with animals in different situations, as well as knowledge around training and behaviour
