Pet care experience
Hi I’m Kaelyn!
About Me Hi! I’m a Virginia Tech Class of 2021 graduate with a degree in Dairy Science and over 8 years of hands-on animal care experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician in both Virginia and Alabama. Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. My background includes working in veterinary clinics, pet retail, pet sitting, and rescue/foster care. Over the past 4–5 years, I have fostered numerous dogs through local rescues, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, ages, and behavioral needs. From shy puppies learning confidence to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I’ve worked with them all. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for horses, goats, turtles, and other small animals. My philosophy is simple: every pet deserves patience, consistency, enrichment, and positive reinforcement so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. At home, I share my life with three dogs: Ace (Heeler/Chihuahua mix), Bernie (Terrier mix), and Rye (Lab mix) as well as my special needs cat, Wybie, and two painted turtles. Because of my diverse animal care background, I am comfortable caring for pets with unique personalities, medical needs, and special routines. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. What You Can Expect When your pet stays with me or is under my care, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs so I can provide personalized care while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, cuddles on the couch, outdoor adventures, or simply a calm and consistent routine, I’ll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, working with rescue animals, and managing multi-pet households. I also understand how important communication is, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and check ins for peace of mind. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, confident, and stress free while you’re apart. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment
My home is a little different. I express my cat Wybie’s bladder myself and change his diaper daily. My other cats get their little box changed twice daily. Wybie loves his automatic feeder while my other cats get fed their moist food once daily and have dry food as needed. Every cat is different and I’m up for however you prefer to feed your babies!
Ratings and reviews
Kaelyn was awesome! She took care of my super shy, anxious cat with so much love and patience. I'd recommend her to anyone!
Kaelyn is a wonderful sitter for Hazel. I would not hesitate to ask her for help again. She’s thoughtful about her needs, knows the right questions to ask and she absolutely loves her work and consequently the pets she works with. Thank you Kaelyn for a great job, we will continue to use your services when we need them!
Kaelyn was wonderful with my dogs! She was very prompt and took very good care of them.
Kaelyn is awesome! Very through and the kitties love her 💕
I only have the highest praise for Kaelyn! She treated my princess like a queen. I was uneasy leaving my dog for a week but Kaelyn shared detailed texts and photos of my girl each day. She is as good as they come! I HIGHLY recommend using her services.
Kaelyn was wonderful. She sent detailed updates and pictures daily. She spent the extra time to locate them and try to coax them out. She followed my crazy list of fur- baby instructions and for once I felt confident they were being looked after. She put my mind at ease. Would definitely rebook with her.

Schedule
I just recently moved to a new area, so I am very open on my availability at the moment. I will update as things change and if I am currently pet sitting at that time, they will take priority of course and I will work out detail with you guys during that time. Please feel free to ask questions if this is concerning to you!
