Pet care experience

WFH STL 🐶 walker & sitter

Growing up with two beagles and a whippet, my passion for caring for dogs started early. Now as an adult, I have two rescue pups of my own. Bubbie, who is a Great Dane/Lab mix, and Pancake, a 13 year old Yorkshire Terrier. Daily walks, playing fetch, and going to the dog park are honestly my favorite things to do, which is what sparked getting into the field of pet care! I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for nearly a decade. Larger dogs, reactive pups, and senior dogs are my specialties. I have found that human interaction when dog sitting is just as important as feeding/potty breaks, and your pet’s emotional health is a huge priority for me. Currently, I work part time from home in the marketing field, so my schedule is very flexible. I have client references that I can pass along and would love to be a special part of your pet’s life! Let’s set up a meet and greet and see if this is a good fit! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby 😊

Catelyn is so patient and understanding with my 2 Great Dane’s, I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She also cares for my fish and bearded dragons. Extremely professional and dependable.

Catelyn took exceptional care of my cat Baby. This time, as every time, I was completely confident that Baby would receive the best care while I was away. I cannot recommend Catelyn highly enough!

Catelyn is the best! She stayed with Maggie for extra time and made sure that she was well taken care of while we were gone she always leaves the sweetest updates and takes great pictures.

So thankful for Catelyn! She went above and beyond, especially giving meds and keeping me updated with the sweetest photos. I felt completely at ease the whole time. Highly recommend and can’t wait to use her again!

Another relaxing vacation because of a great pet/house sitter. Excellent communication, friend to my four legged kiddos and follows directions to a T. Highly recommend using Catelyn.

Safety, trust & environment

From my years of experience I have found that typically pets are more comfortable in their own home versus boarding while their family is away. They are comfortable, know the routine and are familiar with the smells. In my pet sitting, drop ins and dog sitting services, I reinforce the routines and familiarity you’ve already set in place!

Pets

A typical day

I love to engage dogs physically and mentally! Seeing how the pups light up when sniffing the neighborhood on walks is my fave. From playing with their favorite squeaky toys to learning new tricks, I’m here for it all.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Catelyn can host up to 4 pets per night
Let me know if you dog had any special needs or behaviors I can account for! I love all breeds, sizes and ages. So excited to meet your pup! *Please note: I currently do not offer overnight care. Housesitting includes feeding routine, 3 updated with photos/videos a day, medication administration, plant watering, dog walks/outings, and litter box cleaning. I try to accommodate your pet’s regular routine as much as possible, and typically go over a “typical” day in our meet and greet!
