About: What sets me apart is a lifetime of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including rescues with challenging behavioral needs. My own pets include rescue dogs and a cat, and I’ve worked through the unique challenges that come with their difficult pasts. I’ve also looked after other people’s pets, bringing the same care and attention to every animal. Whether it's dogs, cats, or both, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine since I’m a student and not working in a physical office, which means I’m pretty much always available. With my three rescue pets—two dogs and a cat—I’m used to managing daily walks, feeding, and playtime, so fitting in extra care comes naturally. I prioritize making sure each pet gets the attention they need, no matter their individual needs or personalities. I currently focus on caring for pets in my clients' homes. I stick to the pet's routine, making sure they’re comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, or following any special instructions, I ensure pets get the attention and care they need. While I’m not offering overnight stays or bringing pets into my own home at this time, I prioritize keeping pets happy and stress-free while their owners are away.
20. Katlyn S.
“I have known Katlyn since 2009 and she has always had a dog in that time. When we lived together we had a Pomchi that she lovingly took in after a neighbor was forced to move and couldn't take the two pups with them. Katlyn has always been a dog lover and has a huge heart for animals in general. As a kind person her love and devotion to animals is exactly what I would want if I was trusting someone with my pet. She is responsible and attentive to what dogs need and will put their wellbeing number 1.”
