About Caitlin
My name is Caitlin, I am currently in my early 20's and have just somewhat recently moved to Armstrong Creek with a couple of friends. I'm currently studying a mechanics course at Tafe and also doing an online photography course, so I can gaurantee some good photos if you would be interested in that.
In our house we have 1 cat, which is my roomates but as she is away around 2-3 days a week at the moment I am usually in charge of feeding and caring for her. I am not in the right place to get a pet of myself but I have left a few behind in my families house. We currently have 3 horses, 2 guinea pigs, 2 dogs, 1 ferret and we tend to feed all the wild birds as well. I have grown up with these guys for years and before I moved I took on most of the responsibilities.
I grew up in Ireland and my whole life I have grown up around animals. I was riding horses before I could even walk and had a dog from a very early age. Mum was a jockey when she was younger and dad was a greyhound trainer so I spent all of my time as a young child with one of them either at the racing yards or the dog tracks. I've also spent the last 2 years as a dairy farmer so through that I have gotten a lot of experience dealing with younger immature animals and have developed a lot of patience throughout that.
I would love to be a pet sitter to help make sure all pets get taken care of when they're parents need a break. Also just to spend more time with animals as I don't really get to see mine anymore. I really want to spend more time in the fresh air so walking dogs would be a great way to that. I also would love the extra money so that I could put it towards saving up to get my own pet at some stage. This is my first time officially pet sitting but I have many friends and family who I have helped out in the past with walking and petsitting for a few days, both at their house and my own.
Unfortunately I will not be able to take any animals into my own house as the cat does have some non serious health problems. So i'd be more than happy to use the pets home or go and do check ups and duties everyday.
