About Caitlin

Hi my name is Caitlin! I'm 28, from Newcastle in the UK, however ventured to this side of the world towards the end of 2019. Over the past few years I have grown to love living in Australia, but one thing I do miss is having a companion running around! I am from a family that has always had a dog, mainly border collies so I am not shy in knowledge on how to handle larger and more active breeds. I also have experience in looking after dogs across a range of ages including puppies and elderly. Recent longer sits I have complete have been 2 small dogs for a 12 week period, which I loved having the company of and a 3 week house sit/dog sit for an active working dog so super keen and open to all enquiries.

I, myself, am an active person and love the outdoors. I currently work as a scientist for a veterinary pharmaceutical company, therefore animal health is something I show great interest in. I would love love love to get a dog of my own, however at the moment I am waiting for my permanent residency approval before I make that commitment. In the meantime, I am opening myself up to help doggy owners out by providing dog sitting (which can be overnight) or walking services in my spare time.

Services:

- Dog walking, happy for a range of distance/time depending on the dog size and need.

- Dog sitting, sometimes this is a more convenient option for the owner and the dog. I would be happy to come stay at your home to look after your pet - this option is sometimes preferred as it is less unsettling for your dog.

- Dog boarding max 2 small or 1 medium. Length can vary depending on availability. Dog must be housetrained (apartment living) and can be left alone on days where I would be working in the office. If not, I am happy to discuss a discount should you want to them to go to daycare during the day.

- Happy to administer any oral medication.

- Happy to take dogs to their grooming appointments or to doggy daycare.

- I work flexible hours with the option to work from home 1 or 2 days a week. Monday is my fixed WFH day. I also live with my partner so there wouldn't be long periods of time where the dog will be left on their own as he starts/finishes earlier. Weekends they will be with us all day.

I live in a spacious one bed apartment with a large balcony in bondi junction. I live a 10 minute walk to centennial/Queen's Park/Cooper park and local to all the costal routes so plenty of options to take your dog out for walks.

Please feel free to message me, so I can get to know you and your fur baby!

I am currently based in Bondi Junction but do have my own car so I am able to travel to pick up/drop off.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Lots of love xx

We booked Caitlin super last minute but that was no issue at all which was a relief for us. She was great with our two dogs.

My pup Simba had a great time with Caitlin! She was communicative and kept me updated with photos. We'd love to have her sit Simba again!
