Highlights
Pet care experience
Tell Your Dog I Said Hi
Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs and pets of all kinds. I rescued my dog, Clayton, 14 years ago, and he recently passed away in February 2026 at the incredible age of 15. Through that journey, I gained firsthand experience caring for a pet through every stage of life, from the energetic younger years to the extra patience and attention senior pets need. I understand the patience, consistency, and love animals deserve, and I’ll care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, administering routines, or simply providing companionship, your pet will be in caring and reliable hands.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kalynn was great with our two dogs! Both dogs are getting older and have special diets or medications. We felt completely at ease with Kalynn and would definitely book again.
Kalynn D. is a caring, responsible, and patient dog sitter who has taken care of countless dogs over many years. She has experience with different breeds, sizes, and special needs and adapts her style to fit their lifestyle. She always uses positive reinforcement to guide and manage behaviors, and is prompt in her communication with their guardians. I highly recommend Kalynn to care for your pup!
Kalynn is the best dog mom/aunt/babysitter on the planet. She has a deep love for all dogs and treats every pup like her won. I feel so comfortable when she is caring for our dog because she is an excellent judge of temperament and need, she understands dog behavior well and can adjust her approach to each dog, and she loves to play! Our dog goes crazy when she shows up!! She has worked with rescue dogs who have had different challenges: medical, age-related, leash-related ….she’s really seen it all and handles it with love and grace. Can’t recommend Kalynn highly enough!!!

Schedule
Living in an apartment has given me a strong understanding of the importance of regular potty breaks, exercise, and maintaining a consistent routine for dogs. Before leaving the house, I always make sure dogs get at least two potty breaks, followed by no fewer than three additional outings once I return home. Pets in my care are treated like family and are welcome to relax comfortably throughout my apartment, including on the couch and bed. I also enjoy taking long walks around my neighborhood and would love to bring your furry friend along for fresh air, exercise, and extra attention throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
During the week, I split my time between two office locations — one in Anaheim near Honda Center and the other in Corona del Mar near Fashion Island. My typical schedule has me away from home from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while Fridays are fully remote and offer much more flexibility. If your pet has specific needs, routines, or requires additional attention, please let me know. I’m happy to coordinate flexibility within my work schedule whenever possible to ensure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve.
A typical day
Your pet will be in great hands! On weekends, I love taking long walks around my neighborhood and would be happy to bring your furry friend along for exercise, fresh air, and plenty of attention. My apartment is stocked with toys and cozy dog beds throughout the space to help pets feel comfortable and at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or relaxing after a walk, your pet will receive lots of love, care, and companionship, and playtime is always guaranteed!
