Pet Boarding East Ridge

“My mother was admitted to the hospital so I had an urgent need to board my dog. Brooke bailed me out in my time of need and was great to deal with.”

Patrick P.

“Nash had a super great experience with Ivey (and Milo). We had a last minute change to our trip and she was more than willing to help us. Nash made himself right at home and was very well taken care of. We are so thankful and appreciative for finding Ivey.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. On my 18th birthday, I got an English Bulldog, which taught me the importance of understanding breed-specific needs, health concerns, and proper care. Since then, I’ve spent countless hours researching dog behavior, nutrition, exercise requirements, and overall wellness. I have experience dog sitting and walking dogs of different sizes and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs plenty of exercise or a senior dog that requires extra patience and attention, I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care and give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. My schedule is very flexible this summer while I’m waiting for school to start back, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care. I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs and follow the owner’s instructions closely. For boarding, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and regular feeding schedules. While I do not have a fenced yard, I live directly across from a park and make sure dogs get plenty of safe outdoor time and activity. Pets are welcome on the furniture and are treated like part of the family. For house sitting, I maintain the pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while also respecting and caring for the owner’s home. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, and making sure each dog gets the attention and activity they need. No matter the service, I treat every pet as if they were my own and make their well-being my top priority.

“We cannot say enough about Katelyn and how she took such excellent care of our Charlie. She treated him like he was her own baby. She sent us so many pictures so we felt great while we were away. I cannot thank her enough! Charlie definitely fell in love with her. When we came today to get him, he seemed sad to leave her. Charlie obviously had a wonderful time! We will never trust anyone to care for Charlie except Katelyn in the future. And I know Charlie will be looking forward to being with her too!! If you want to feel comfortable leaving your baby with someone while you are away I highly recommend Katelyn. She is the real deal!!! Kathleen Calabrese”

About: My journey in veterinary medicine began when I was just a freshman in high school, working as a kennel technician! By my senior year, I had earned three veterinary assistant certifications, turning my lifelong passion for animals into a career. Today, I’m the proud owner of Ivey Lane Pet Sitting & Grooming, where I dedicate my time to providing professional, compassionate care for your pets! I firmly believe that education and experience matter when choosing someone to care for your animals. My background in veterinary medicine allows me to recognize signs of illness, respond to emergencies, and provide an extra level of care and peace of mind. Because pet sitting is more than just feeding and loving your pets. It’s knowing what to do when something goes wrong. 🐾❤️ I work full time as a pet sitter and groomer, I work around your babies schedule! 24/7 pet care is my middle name <3 I can help in any home environment you keep your pets in, with or without a fence! Working in a vet clinic has given me experience in proper medication handling (oral and injectable), grooming skills, working with animals of all temperaments, CPR training and dealing with animals in crisis.
