Holistic Dog Groomer & Caregiver
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Katelyn, owner of Kindred Folk, and integrative holistic business. I am a Holistic Dog Groomer, Wellness Coach, and Reiki Practitioner among other hats I wear. When dogs spend their time with me, they are receiving around the clock care, as well as plenty of one-on-one attention and socialization (if given permission) with my personal dogs. When I am grooming, I book Monday through Fridays and am done by early afternoon. Weekends are reserved for family time, which means your pet will also join in on the fun! I allow titer tested in lieu of vaccinations for dogs staying in my home. My boyfriend and myself believe in following a minimal dog vaccination schedule based on immunologist studies. We are RAW FEEDING FRIENDLY. Both of us have combined over 20 years of experience working with not only dogs, but livestock and exotic pets.
Reviews
Katelyn is one of the most qualified and knowledgeable dog sitters you will ever meet! She is well-versed in canine nutrition, and helped me so much when it came to vaccinations and the difference between core and optional vaccines. Her passion truly shows in the work she does with animals, whether a pet sitter or groomer.
Kate comes across immediately as someone warm and nurturing and whom an owner can be comfortable to entrust theie beloved pets. Our blue heeler was very eager to explore Kate's abode and meet her potential new friends. Kate also has a big yard and her residence is nicely tucked away but not too far from the hiway - a pleasant retreat for our dog. I am glad to have found Kate and she will definitely be on our favorite sitter list!
Katelyn is very passionate about her pets and this extends to the ones she boards and babysits. She provided excellent care for my poodle. She is very caring but also provides structure which I believe is essential. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet
All pets are recommended to be properly crate trained (unless a puppy is boarding who is still being trained). Dogs showing any level of separation anxiety are not taken into the household as to not upset and throw off the energy among other pets. Any form of reactivity (dog-dog, dog-human, resource guarding, etc.) will be turned away for the safety of other pets and ourselves. If you have a pet who is immuno-compromised, please reach out to us. These pets are accommodated as long as we have no other reservations booked during that time. I am all-breed friendly for dogs under 40 pounds. I LOVE larger breeds, we just aren't equipped to board them at this time.
A typical day
While we have a small backyard, we also have about 100 acres to go on adventures. The smaller pups will enjoy plenty of cuddle time on the couch and if they are potty trained, can sleep on the bed with us at night. With our range of small dogs, your pup will also enjoy socialization around other dogs of all ages between 1 years to 14 years.
