Caitlyn Sarles
Caitlyn grew up on the south shore of Boston, MA in a noisy house with three siblings, two parents, and a yellow lab named Sadie who somehow put up with all of it. Caitlyn spent her childhood doing water sports on the ocean, running around at the beach, attending sleepaway summer camp on Lake Winnipesaukee, and playing basketball whenever she could. Throughout all of those outdoor adventures, Caitlyn always connected with dogs. She helped take care of her family's dog, loved spending time with her grandparents' dog or meeting new dogs at cranberry bogs and the beach, and became fast friends with the dogs at her summer camp.
In 2020, Caitlyn completed a college degree in Business from Villanova University, and spent the three years following that living in Boston with her best friends and a grumpy, snuggly, wonderful cat named Ferris. Caitlyn then completed two years of service with City Year, an educational equity nonprofit, before joining a consulting firm.
Finally, Caitlyn moved to Truckee full-time in January of 2025, and has completely fallen in love with mountain life each day since. She quit her corporate consulting job in February of 2025, and decided to focus on doing work that felt impactful to her. She began working at the Humane Society of Truckee-Tahoe where her love for animals was channeled into performing behavior assessments, building dog profiles, and managing adoptions. Her passion for working with animals only grew as her knowledge of and experience with animal behavior increased and her understanding of the many factors that can help an animal be successful deepened. Caitlyn is thrilled to join the Buddy team. Her passion for the outdoors and for dogs could not have combined into a better job. She is excited to get to know each individual dog and help them have the happiest, healthiest adventures around Truckee!
