I love walking as much as your dog.
Pet care experience
I grew up with three dogs. Dooh-Dah, our little basset hound, Katie Blue, my blue tick hound, and Buster, our now 7 year old Beagle. They were full of energy, but when it was nap time for them, it was nap time for the whole house. I began walking them for fun when I was 8, and little did I know that 10 years later, I would find a passion for volunteering. I spend my weekends volunteering at cat shelters, dog shelters, and combined ones. Knowing that these animals have someone to rely on is what motivates me. Also, I'm a cuddly person and dogs just understand that. I got to work adoption events by myself, which included the transportation and maintenance of animals in an unfortunately stressful environment for them (Pet smart). I'm a good socializer for cats and dogs, and I can spend hours just petting them!
Reviews
Katelyn is so sweet and kind and great with my mom's dog. Very reliable and communicates with photos and texts during her visits. Will definitely re-book with Katelyn.
Katelyn was awesome! I think Weezie had a great time! Such a relief knowing your pup is in good hands while you’re at work.
She went above and beyond to make sure my pups were looked after. She met them in advance and she even made sure to take Cooper on a safe walk considering this Texas heat. I can tell they were well looked after.
Katelyn is incredible with all animals! During college she would spend time at the cat shelter as a volunteer just to help out. She’s always on time, a fantastic communicator, and can work with any dog, she just loves them all! Would highly recommend! She’s taken care of my friends’ dogs before and has received 0 complaints!

We currently have 4 cats (3 adopted, 1 found in the trash where I worked previously.) They love playing with strings and crunchy toys, and are very active. We brush them once a week and try to keep up with trimming their nails, but they sharpen them on their cat trees almost immediately afterwards. For clients, if I am dog walking/sitting, I'll walk them for long periods of time (45 minutes to an hour). I have my own poop bags and a traveling water bowl that I bring if your dog enjoys long walks. If your dog just likes to run around your yard, I'll spend lots of time playing with them and getting that energy out. Admittedly, I am a cat person, but I love dogs and love walking other people's dogs. Getting to meet different breeds and having some puppy therapy is always fun.
Information Katelyn F. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs required by your pet. I have experience giving oral medication and senior animal care. Are there any behavior issues to watch out for? Reactivity during walks? Would it be better to just let them run around in the yard? Thanks!
A typical day
An absurd amount of petting (if they like that), walks, maybe a quick trip to starbucks for a pupacchino if they're allowed to have them. Lots of play-time, maybe some cool nature documentaries when we're both pooped from messing around.
