Caitlin

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.

Between working at a kennel on a casual basis (mainly with medium-large breeds), and working from home and on my own time in the music industry, I’m fortunate to have a good amount of flexibility throughout the week to spend time 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!
