‘I cannot fathom that somebody would do this to me,’ she told The Daily Telegraph.
‘Everyone has enemies… but I would never imagine having pissed people off enough to have your personal home lit on fire where you and your son’s belongings are.
‘I guess Victoria Police are probably going to find [who did it], so I’m gonna let them do their job,’ she said.
She had only moved into the house two months prior.
In a video shared to Instagram, Caitlin explained her house has been fitted with CCTV but it was disabled prior to the attack.
‘I just don’t know where to start. And I live in the biggest Karen estate ever, so this is just grouse,’ she said.
‘I didn’t even think you could shut down CCTV so these c**ts are just dogs.’
She said she is ‘grateful her son and dogs are safe as I can replace our furniture, our belongings, but our family I cannot.’

She continued: ‘I’ve never wanted to hold my baby so tight in all my life. True friends and families’ colours are shown in times like this.
‘I’m not afraid to cry and show you that I have f***ing emotions because you know what I worked my a** off to get to where I was, and even if I’ve lost everything, you’ve burnt it down and you’ve ruined my life. I will build my life again, but my son does not deserve this.’
Caitlin also shared a photo to her Instagram story on Monday of the damage caused to her home.
‘My home,’ she wrote alongside a crying emoji.
