Hello, I'm Caitlyn! I am a kind, responsible and reliable 22 year old nursing student on study leave. I am originally from the States and moved to New Zealand in 2020. All I've ever known my whole life was animals. From having cats and dogs in the home to helping my grandma on her horse farm, I've been an animal lover for life.
What motivated me to be a pet sitter? Well I have employment history of working at Avoca Valley Cattery and I absolutely loved the work I did there. I also have experience pet sitting when I was a teenager in the States and remember the time getting to know the animals I took care of fondly. I am also a cat mum to my sweet girl Rhaenyra and I adore spoiling her to pieces.
I love all animals, but I am most familiar and comfortable with cats and dogs. I ONLY offer services that take place in your home, as I have a lovely kitty myself and, she unfortunately doesn't play well with others. That being said, I am able to travel, and happy to do so with no additional costs to my services. I offer customisable services as every animal and owner are different. Below is a description of my services.
Services:
🐾Dog Walking $15 + $10 for every additional dog
Available hours: 9am - 3pm
Description: I will take your dog on a 30 - 45 minute walk around either your neighbourhood or another pet friendly park, such as a local dog park, or Hagley Park. I have my own transportation and will be more than happy to travel to an acceptable, agreed upon location, for a lovely walk. All walks will be on lead unless specifically specified.
🐾1 Daily Check-in (Feeding, Pet Clean-up, and Play) $15
Available hours: 8am - 8pm
Description: I will check in on your pet at the agreed upon time, and spend a minimum of 30 minutes with them. While I am there, I will feed your pet, clean-up any mess they may have made and tend to their litter box if they have one, as well as letting them out for a wee and having a quick play and cuddle with them. I will also administer any necessary medication. You will also receive pictures and a well-being update after my visit.
