Pet care experience

Find me near the pet at a party

Since I was little my family always had pets and I would be the most eager to care for them- from our Chihuahua to my Saint Bernard and multiple different breeds in between, I have experience with all size dogs. My love for animals grew stronger every summer where I would stay at my cousins who fostered multiple dogs, horses and goats! I have cared for an epileptic dog including administering injections/giving medications, and helped with a dogs recovery from ACL surgery so I’m no stranger to medical intervention!

House Sitting • Nov 16, 2025

This was the first time we used a pet sitter and we found Katelyn. Shes amazing with our senior diva Stella. What a wonderful experience for us. Katelyn took great care of Stella and she made sure Stella comfortable staying in our home. It was important that at 11 years young we didn’t want to board her. Katelyn sent us pictures and updates even though we were on a cruise. I gave Katelyn all stars she deserved then as Stella can be picky with warming up.

This was Katelyn's first time sitting for us. She did a fabulous job. Our Woody is a 13 year old beagle who needs insulin shots twice a day plus plenty of meds with meals. She learned the procedures quickly. While we were gone she kept us up to date with texts and pics. And she washed the sheets. Would definitely hire her again.

I was very pleased with our sitter Katelyn. I received a good handful of cute photos. Updates on their potty time and eating. Both of my pitbull's took to her and we're laying down on the couch next to her within minutes. The best part of this, was that both of my dogs ate their dinner when it was prepared for them with us being gone so long during the day. My eldest dog has a pretty good dose of separation anxiety. It does not look like he felt any anxiety at all, and I could not be more pleased. And the youngest pitbull was happy to have somebody to play with, which she began doing almost immediately. Very, very happy!!

Katelyn was amazing with Pippi. She stayed over the 4th weekend and being that Pippi is incredibly high anxiety her ability to keep her calm and entertained was second to none. She kept me up to date on what was happening and was able to lovingly care for her just like I would. I am not going to hesitate to use Katelyn in the future and would suggest anyone, especially those with high anxiety dogs or dogs with separation anxiety, to reach out to Katelyn for her services. 10 outta 10.

Katelyn is amazing with my 2 dogs! Been using her for years. She is responsive, keeps me updated about issues that are important to me, follows instruction to a T, and has helped with giving medications. Katelyn is great in all aspects, responsible and treat my dogs like they’re hers. My dogs truly LOVE her and get so excited when she comes over. I have peace of mind when I can’t be with my dogs, and I trust Katelyn completely.

I truly don’t know what I would have done without Katelyn over the past five years. From the moment she started caring for my two Labrador retrievers, she became an essential part of our lives. One of my dogs has epilepsy, and her calm, knowledgeable, and attentive approach made all the difference. She always knew how to respond during seizures, kept meticulous notes, and gave me total peace of mind when I couldn’t be there. When my other Lab underwent ACL surgery, she went above and beyond to support his recovery—helping with everything from post-op mobility to administering medications and ensuring he remained calm and comfortable. Her compassion, reliability, and deep understanding of animals make her truly one of a kind. She has not only cared for my dogs—she has loved them like her own. I would have been lost without her, and I’ll always be grateful for the care, reassurance, and kindness she’s given all of us.
