Pet care experience

Trustworthy pet sitter

Hi, I’m Katelyn! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over 6 years of experience dog sitting for pups of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own, so I truly understand the level of care, attention, and love our pets deserve—they’re family. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. Every dog has their own personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes them happy—whether that’s long walks, playtime outside, or just relaxing with plenty of affection. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive lots of attention, supervision, and care. I treat every pet the way I’d want my own to be treated—with patience, kindness, and respect. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, or just cuddle, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an animal friendly apartment complex. My apartment has an off leash dog park and I live next to a walkable park as well.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of activity, attention, and lots of tail wags! I’m home most of the day, so your pup will get consistent care, supervision, and plenty of love. I live right next to a large public park, which is perfect for long walks, exploring, and getting all that energy out. My apartment community also has an off-leash dog park, so your dog will have safe opportunities to run, play, and socialize (if they enjoy that!). I love spending time outdoors throwing the ball, going on long walks, and letting dogs enjoy fresh air and exercise. Inside, I have a spacious apartment with plenty of toys to keep them entertained, comfortable, and relaxed. Whether your dog is high-energy and loves to play or prefers a calmer day with cuddles and companionship, I tailor each day to fit their personality and needs—making sure they feel happy, safe, and right at home.

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible so I can give them the best experience! Please let me know: Your dog’s daily routine (feeding schedule, walk times, sleep habits) Energy level and exercise needs Any medical conditions, medications, or allergies Behavioral traits (anxiety, reactivity, aggression, etc.) How they do around other dogs (especially for the off-leash dog park) Favorite toys, activities, and things they love (or don’t love!) House rules you’d like me to follow (furniture, crates, commands, etc.) The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel comfortable, safe, and right at home. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible while giving them lots of love and attention!
