Pet care experience

I have a rich and varied history of pet care, stemming from a childhood surrounded by animals. Growing up I had the privilege of sharing my home with six dogs, five cats, two rabbits, as well as a few goldfish and hermit crabs. This diverse array of pets has given me a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of different species. During my formative years, around the age of 8-9, I took on the responsibility of babysitting my next-door neighbor's two dogs. The duo consisted of a German Shepherd and a smaller dog. In this role, diligently ensured their well-being by letting them out, engaging in playtime and providing them with food and water. This experience not only honed my practical pet care skills but also strengthened my bond with animals. Through these various encounters with different species and breeds, I have cultivated a genuine love and respect for the well-being of animals. My upbringing and hands-on experiences have equipped me with the knowledge and empathy necessary for providing attentive and compassionate care to a wide range of pets.

Katelyn is very dependable and treats my dog very well. She leaves a detailed report of the visit and takes a lot of pictures.

Katelyn has been caring for my 2 year old GSD twice a week for a few weeks now. She is SO awesome. Katelyn communicates if she is running late, provides tons of photos each visit and writes a thorough summary. I totally trust Katelyn to manage my super high drive dog and give her afternoon pill.

Safety, trust & environment

I always give all fur baby’s lots of love and attention. I’m a big fan of play time. Unfortunately I don’t have a fenced in yard but I love going for long walks. I’m a fur mom myself so I know how hard it is to trust someone with your precious fur baby. I’m happy to follow any specific procedures to keep your pet on its routine so I can do everything to the best of my ability to ensure your ease of mine. I send a lot of photos, videos, and updates if desired, as well.

Information Katelyn A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your fur baby has any special needs. What there routine is? How they are on walks? What their feeding schedule is and if they have a feeding schedule? What’s their favorite toy to play with? How are they with other animals?

A typical day

I love to play fetch, tug-of-war and other games with dogs. As well as just running around with them to let out some energy. For the older dogs that might not want to play I’m more then happy to just sit with them and give them love and affection.
