Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Dog’s Favorite Sitter & Friend
Animals are my greatest passion. I have 4 years under my belt of experience watching dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I am very good at ensuring all dogs are fed, hydrated, use the bathroom, and are played with often to ensure they aren’t bored. Alongside this, I take things such as medication, any health conditions, and the personal comforts of your animals very seriously. I have the most experience with small to medium sized dogs, but I am open to caring for large dogs as well.

Safety, trust & environment
Since I don’t have my own car yet, I can only uber, walk, or have my mother drive me to people’s houses. Because of this I prefer house sitting, often for days at a time because I don’t have to go back and forth from one place to another.
Ratings and reviews
Katelyn was very conscientious and followed all instructions to a “T.” I did not have to worry about anything, as she communicated often and asked questions if she was unsure about something. The house was spotless when we returned! I would not hesitate to have her sit our boys again.
Katelyn is by far the best sitter I’ve found for my girls (dog and cat)! She was incredibly diligent — probably more than I am, honestly — with their feeding, walks, and overall care. She also asked thoughtful questions whenever something was unclear, which I really appreciated. She proactively sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, which made me feel so much more at ease. My pets are very spoiled and spend a ton of time with me. It’s rare I find someone who seems to replicate that for me, but Katelyn sure did, and I joked about them not wanting me to come back. :) A true testament to her abilities is the fact that my cat — who is normally very skittish and takes several days to warm up to new people — was laying with her after just a day! I would certainly recommend Katelyn — she is kind, dependable, and communicative. Would definitely hire again. 12/10! ⭐️
This is my second time using Katey to watch my kitty, Nova. I dropped him off at her house and got lots of updates/pictures while I was gone which I appreciate! Definitely recommend using Katey if you are going out of town and have a pet. Thank you Katey!!
Katey was great!! She stayed at my apartment 3 nights to watch my kitty, Nova. I got lots of pictures along the way and I came back to my apartment better than how I left it. Would definitely use Katey again and recommend her to anyone with a pet. Thank you!!
Katey is a compassionate and thoughtful pet carer. She walked my dog weekly and took care of her when I traveled, and I never worried about her. Bebe was also a challenging rescue who wouldn't allow anyone but me to pick her up and had her own agenda on walks. Katey and Bebe developed a sweet rapport and Bebe trusted her. I used Katey's services regularly for about 2-3 years until Bebe passed.
Hi everyone...I live on a Caribbean Island. I met Katey and her family as they lived a few doors down. She would walk her two dogs up and down a very steep hill. I work on boats and since I would be gone for midday walks and come home about dinner time. Katey stepped in to solve my dog walking dilema. I gave her the key code and she followed instructions to the T. If she had any questions she texted me and always gave me an update that they had done their business and she had just left. Katey truly gave me peace of mind while out on the water. Good luck and may you only attract the best.

Schedule
As I’m naturally an early bird, I tend to wake up at 7:00 - 7:30. I have had to wake up even earlier to head over to my neighbor’s house feed and care for dogs while they’re away. I prefer walking dogs twice a day unless the owner says otherwise. One walk in the morning and one in the evening. As for cats, I will usually scoop at least once every day, every morning. Though I may scoop even more if they go more often.
