Hey there! I’m Caitlin, a lifelong animal lover and pet owner available for day visits in Flemington / Kensington / Travancore / Ascot Vale / Moonee Ponds / Brunswick and surrounds.
I’ve had animals around me for as long as I can remember, growing up with cats, dogs, ducks, and horses. I’m fortunate to work from home and on my own time in the music industry, which affords me the flexibility to spend more time with animals - whether pet sitting, dog walking, or with my two beautiful rescue cats, Abe and Cookie.
Through my volunteer work as a rescue cat foster carer (2years+ exp) I’ve looked after and socialised shy kittens through to highly anxious adult cats and everything in between, and so understand the gentle and patient approach required around nervous cats in particular. I also have experience administering injectable insulin in diabetic cats.
I’m responsible, reliable and confident around cats and dogs and would love to chat about how I can help with taking care of your beloved pets while you’re on holiday or at work. Day visits are a minimum of 30-60mins, and include feeding, watering, cleaning / changing litter, as well as short walks / watering plants / checking mail if needed. Dog walking includes a minimum 30min walk around a preferred route. As I work mostly from home, if you have reliable WiFi I’m also open to keeping them company throughout the day at your home, booked as 2x home visits - please message me if this is your preference and provide any further details / requirements to confirm before booking.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet and greet with your pet. Petsitting references from my pre-Pawshake days are also available on request. Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely day!
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
I’ve just moved to Melbourne and have peace of mind knowing Yuki is in good hands with Caitlin. Communication is great throughout the walk and I love getting photo updates. Thank you Caitlin! ☺️
