About Caitlin

**ANIMAL SCIENTIST student majoring in ANIMAL HEALTH studies at Murdoch university*

About me:

Good morning/ afternoon! My name is Caitlin, I am a 22 year old University student, currently studying in the second year of my animal sceince degree majoring in animal health studies at Murdoch University.

I am also in the process of completing my Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing, have excelent competency and passion for all animals including, but not limited to, dogs, cats, horses, cattle, sheep, guinea pigs and rabbits. I began my Veterinary nursing studies in Northam, Western Australia at Muresk Institute of Technology and gained invaluable knowledge on animal husbandry, general care and grooming, and even how to perform CPR and apply compression bandages in the case of an emergency.

I have always owned a cat, dog, rabbit or guineapig, and am devoted fully to the wellbeing and love of all creatures great and small, with my main goal in life being to become a Veterinary surgeon or canine behaviouralist. My undying passion to work alongside animals has lead me to the role of petsitting.

Previous experience:

I currently have 4 regular customers in and around Perth who each have varying pets and requirements- from budgies to Labrador’s and tabbies to fish. And I’m always looking to extend my expertise to more clients, to give pats and cuddles, walks and spoil your pets like their favourite Aunty! 😂

I currently own 2 beautiful yet energetic dogs and 2 wonderfully lazy cats, and have previously owned multiple guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, hermit crabs and even a frog. I have experience in caring for ill animals; Both of my cats were rescue kittens.

Currently studying an Animal Science degree majoring in Animal health studies.

I have done work experience at various vet clinics for the past 5 years, ranging from Belmont and Fremantle to Northam and York, references of which may be provided upon meeting.

I have had previous employment at a pet shop which sold puppies, kittens, birds, fish, rabbits and guineapigs, reference may be provided upon meeting if required.

I have a farm safety certificate and am covered to work on farm sites that require animal sitting, have experience with large animals such as horses and Great Danes.

I have worked at a dog kennel at a pound in York, Western Australia.

I am organised and have been a judge, stewards and time keeper as well as assisted at multiple dog agility trails in Western Australia. I have a great understanding of infection control and animal husbandry, so your dog or cat is in the safest of hands!

Walks:

Depending on the size and energy levels of your dog I can offer walks ranging from 30 minutes, 1 hour and up to 2 hours. I offer walks up to 3 or 4 times a day, each individual dog and situation is different and I’m happy to work around the type of exercise your dog would be the happiest with. Happy to negotiate pricing.

What I offer:

I offer a wide range of dog and cat experiences for a wide range of age groups, size and energy levels, whether it be a bouncey puppy or a docile house cat.

When housesitting, I am tidy, clean and trustworthy. I always like to spend the last morning of house sitting vacuuming, sweeping, putting out the bins, changing kitty litter and making sure everything is as clean and in order as possible-because there’s nothing nicer than coming home to happy pets and a clean home.

With a lifetime worth of experience, you can rest assured your furry friend will not be short of bountiful walks, care and belly rubs! each animal is a complete and utter individual and I pride myself on being able to provide specialised care to each and every animal. I live a short 10 minute drive from Kwinana dog beach and multiple open air environments and parks of which I am sure your furry friend will love!

I am all too happy to commute to visiting your pet in the comfort of your own home, whether that be for a day or for multiple days/ nights at a time. Though I live in the Beckenham area, I am happy to commute to a wider range of areas, so please don't hesitate to contact me! I can also provide basic baths and grooming for your posh pooch, a good game of fetch as well as the occasional Schmacko if your dog is accepting of treats.

(please note: If your pet requires any sort of drops or tablets while in my care and I am directed by yourself to continue with the administration of these whilst you are away on holiday, I am all too qualified to do so under your instruction.)

Finally:

I am a reliable, trustworthy, energetic and loyal individual with a full drivers license and my own car, and am very flexible with traveling to suit your needs to see your pet has the best possible experience, security, belly rubs and treats!

Please do not hesitate to make an enquiry/booking/ arrange a meet and great.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Caitlin.

Tanya, 2019-11-07

I was very nervous with leaving our two babies (cats) with a "stranger" for two weeks while we went overseas, particularly as one is almost 17 and the other a nervous rescue that had been abused. They are indoor cats so we chose the option for daily visits.

Caitlin sent photos and messages everyday and we could see how happy they were with her. We could see how relaxed they were and she wrote about the little quirky things they do, which they wouldn't do if not comfortable. Caitlin sent videos which really showed how they had bonded with her.

When we got home it was how we left it which was another worry about handing the keys over to someone we didn't know. Caitlin watered our raised veggie beds and kept it alive.

I highly recommend Caitlin and hope she is available next time we go away.
