Information Katelyn G. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know key details about pets ahead of time to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. This includes their feeding schedule, any medical needs or allergies, behavior around other animals or people, and favorite toys or routines. Understanding their temperament—whether they’re shy, energetic, or need extra attention—helps me tailor care to their needs. It’s also helpful to know any training cues they respond to and how they typically react to new environments or changes. The more I know, the better I can make them feel at home while you're away.

A typical day

When watching pets, I love keeping them active and entertained with fun activities tailored to their personalities. For playful pups, I’ll throw bumpers or tennis balls, go on walks, and sometimes swims. I also enjoy giving plenty of cuddles, treats (if allowed), and making sure they feel safe and happy while their owners are away.

Katelyn was absolutely amazing with our 13 month old pup! He made friends with her dog April and the next-door neighbor's cows - and we got photos and videos of the saga every day 😅 We were a bit worried he wouldn't want to leave....highly recommend!

Katelyn was wonderful with Murphy. She kept us updated with pictures and was very easy to deal with. We highly recommend her service.

Katelyn was great! She took excellent care of our very active Doberman. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

It was clear that Tillie was very relaxed with Katelyn and her dog, April, and enjoyed her time with play and walks. Katelyn sent many photos and videos which put us at ease. We would definitely ask Katelyn to watch our baby girl again.
