Pet care experience

Dogs give me a 10/10 for belly rubs

Hi! I’m Kalin, a devoted dog mom and your pet’s next best friend. I recently moved to Louisville and work part-time at Apple, balancing my days between tech, wellness, and making sure the dogs in my life are living their happiest, most spoiled lives. I’m also a proud graduate of the University of Kentucky. When I’m not working, I’m usually out on long walks, practicing yoga, or exploring beautiful corners of the city with a cold brew in hand. I’ve been caring for pets on this platform since 2018, and I bring years of hands-on experience with dogs, cats, and all kinds of furry personalities. Animals have always been a constant in my life, and now my boyfriend and I share our home with two Goldendoodles who are essentially our fluffy children. Because of them, I understand the level of trust, consistency, and love that goes into choosing the right sitter. I bring a calm, warm, and attentive energy to every pet I care for. Whether you need daily walks, check-ins, or overnight care, your pets will enjoy a relaxed, loving, and elevated experience with me, just the way I care for my own. If you’re looking for a sitter who is reliable, nurturing, and treats your pets with genuine affection and a little extra luxury, I’m your girl. 🐾✨

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable in their own environment. I keep your home secure by following your instructions closely, locking up properly, and being mindful of who enters and exits. Your pet receives constant attention, gentle structure, and plenty of affection throughout my stay. I treat both your home and your pets with the same level of respect and care I give my own.

Kalin did an amazing job! My dog is usually pretty shy but warmed up to her really quickly! She made sure to send lots of photos and updates that put my mind at ease while we were traveling for the holidays. Will definitely be rebooking!!

Kalin was flexible and accommodating when plans quickly changed due to a canceled flight.

Kalin did a great job taking care of all our animals for a long stay! She sent lots of pictures and cleaned up everything after some our animals accidents. She went above and beyond and left our house super clean and neat. Would definitely recommend her to watch your fur babies!

Schedule

My schedule can vary week to week, but I am consistently available on Thursdays and Fridays, and I make pet care a priority whenever I’m on the clock. Even with part-time work, I stay close by and ensure your pets receive timely walks, meals, and attention. I follow routines closely and adapt as needed to meet your pet’s specific needs. You can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and consistent care every time.
