Fear Free Vet Tech

I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician with an additional certification in massage and rehabilitation therapy, and I’ve worked in animal care since 2012. I have extensive experience caring for dogs with diverse personalities, medical needs, energy levels, and behavioral challenges, including anxious and reactive dogs. My veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior, comfort, and overall well-being, while my rehabilitation training provides additional knowledge of canine fitness, movement, and physical comfort.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 13, 2026

Kaitlyn was wonderful. Went over Jensen's history was provided a tour of her home, very clean and definitely set up to welcome dogs. The report card was spot on with what we expected. Provided a calm environment to welcome a puppy who has been through a lot in her short life. When we got home, she acted normal. With our previous dogs we boarded at kennels but felt the need to try something different with a puppy that spent most of her life at a shelter. Our dogs would be wiped out when they came back home. So far not seeing any of that from her stay with Kaitlyn.

She is wonderful , she went far beyond any expectations I had. Reggie wasn’t feeling well once I left him with her, we figured anxiety. She took care of Reggie, constantly giving me updates on his care. She is just awesome. Help me by training Reggie in how to react while I use my walker. I was not expecting that from her. I’m so glad I found her, Reggie just loves her. In a nut shell, K you far exceeded my expectations with your care for Reggie. I would give more stars if it was possible. Thanks again. And I know now who to book for next time.

We had such a great experience! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our wedding day logistics, including picking Juni up from our venue and being patient when our timing ran behind. She gave us great updates and sent plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. I also really appreciated how much she tailored Juni’s stay to her personality and preferences. She took her on a couple of long walks, made sure she had plenty of individual hangout time, and clearly paid attention to what made her comfortable. At one point, Juni had been enjoying laying on a pillow from the couch, so she even moved the pillow into her crate for her. It was such a small but thoughtful detail that showed how attentive she was. Juni seemed happy and well cared for, and we would absolutely book with her again!

I highly recommend Kaitlyn!! I have 2 big boys 1 is a Doberman and the other is a golden mix. They fight if their in the same room. So was going to have Kaitlyn watch just one of them. When I went to do a meet and greet with my golden. We got to talking and she said she would be willing to take both. She was amazing! I didnt have to worry all weekend long about them because she would send me updates with happy pictures every day. They always looked so happy with all the walks and belly rubs. Highly recommend! I will definitely be going back to her and dropping my other doggie daycare even with a 15 minute extra drive.

Schedule

Your pet deserves more than simply being fed, walked, and put to bed. Because I’m self-employed, I’m able to be highly present and flexible throughout your dog’s stay. I intentionally limit the number of clients I accept at one time, so each dog receives individual attention and has their own dedicated space. Whether your dog is confident and playful, energetic, sensitive, shy, or needs extra patience away from home, their schedule is customized to them. Some dogs are ready to explore and play, while others need more time, space, and reassurance. Their stay is built around who they are—not a one-size-fits-all routine.

Safety, trust & environment

I use a fear-free, low-pressure approach and never force a dog to interact, participate, or be handled before they are comfortable. Dogs are given time to decompress, while more confident and social dogs may explore, play, and have fun. I also take cleanliness seriously; toys, blankets, dishes, and surfaces are cleaned and sanitized between stays, while minimizing unnecessarily harsh chemicals and artificial scents. The result is a quiet, clean, comfortable environment where dogs can feel safe and respected.

A typical day

Depending on your dog, their day may include one-on-one attention, walks anywhere from 5–60 minutes, puzzle toys, nose games, fitness activities, positive exposure to new experiences, brushing, cuddles, or simply plenty of uninterrupted time to relax. I also provide daily photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you're away. For overnight boarding, dogs must be comfortable being crated as they will sleep in one at night.

The more I know about your pet, the more personalized I can make their stay. Please tell me about your dog’s personality, fears, sensitivities, medications, dietary needs, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. My goal is for your dog to leave feeling relaxed, cared for, enriched, and maybe just a little spoiled. Your dog’s stay should feel like their own little vacation.
