Availability

I’m currently working full time from home (Monday-Friday) so I’d be more than happy to welcome your pup into my home and have a new coworker, taking them out as needed, or pack up my gear and work with them in the comfort of their own home! Please check out my calendar for my most updated availability ☺️

A typical day

I love to work with any energy level dog and will always ensure your dog will come back home with a fully enriched mind, heart, and belly full of treats (if the parents say it’s okay?) I love giving dogs toys that allow them to use their brain and instincts to learn and love taking them places with lots of smells so they get the full doggie experience!

Looking to be besties w/ your pup!

Pet care experience

As someone who has always grown up around dogs, I understand that your pup is a part of the family and I take pride in taking care of your furry loved ones while you’re away! I currently have a German shepherd/Boxer mix (lives with my family) and a Rottweiler (lives with me). I have previously volunteered at a humane society and have also been employed at a dog boarding facility. I enjoy watching Dog Impossible in my free time and would love to spend time with your 4-legged family member in my free time too! I’m also an animal and nature photographer, so I’d be happy to take high quality photos while you’re away!

Katelyn was AMAZING!! 😄 she was super communicative, extremely caring and attentive to taking care of my girls, and made every effort to ensure I was comfortable throughout the experience. Sent lots of adorable photos of my pups having the best time. Overall just a fantastic person and sitter! Looking forward to our next trip knowing that my fur kiddos are in wonderful hands! 10/10

Katelyn is fantastic! She’s watched my Rottweiler puppy, Nala, a few times now and it’s been such a great experience. She sends lots videos and pictures updating me and they are all so adorable! Her dog, Ruth, is also such a well behaved dog and gets along with Nala very well! I’m so happy we found her and we can’t wait to book with her again!
