Hi, I’m Caitlyn! My fiancé Matt and I live in a cosy home in sunny Hastings. I’m originally from Australia and sadly had to leave my beloved Labrador with my parents—after a year away, I really miss the joy, energy, and unconditional love a dog brings to everyday life.

Between the two of us, we have around 10 years of pet-sitting experience each. We've cared for a wide range of breeds in Australia, including Labradors, St Bernards, Corgis, Kelpies, and Golden Retrievers. We’re very comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, and we always take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality and needs.

We’re both active people who love long walks, running, and being outdoors, so your dog will enjoy plenty of exercise, stimulation, and adventure with us. At home, we offer a warm, calm environment with a secure garden, everything a pup needs, except for the occasional furry visitor to share it with!

Your dog’s wellbeing is our top priority. We’re not doing this for the money; we genuinely miss having a canine companion around and want to offer the same level of love, care, and attention we’d give to our own dog. We’re happy to follow any routines your dog is used to feeding schedules, training cues, medication, or quiet time and we can provide close supervision depending on your dog’s needs. If your dog requires special care, we’re patient, attentive, and committed to making them feel safe and comfortable.

In the rare event of an emergency, we take no chances. We would take your dog straight to the nearest vet, even if something seems minor, as their health and safety come first.

We know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so we’ll send regular updates, photos, and check-ins to keep you connected with your furry friend.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to reach out we’d love to chat.
Matt & Caitlyn
