Availability

I currently work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but the rest of the week I am usually at home working or studying remotely. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I am also especially available on weekends, which is a great option for pet parents who need to board their dog at my apartment.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment where pets can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I make sure to follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I also give pets plenty of attention, love, and a calm environment so they feel at home. My apartment is in a great area with plenty of parks and trails nearby, making it easy to take dogs on walks, get fresh air, and enjoy outdoor time. I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness while they are staying with me.

Loving and reliable pet care!

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, from energetic younger dogs to elderly dogs who need extra patience and attention. I have cared for my own dog, which has taught me how important it is to be responsible, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs. I have also helped care for my neighbors’ dogs, including both senior dogs and younger dogs, by making sure they are fed, walked, comfortable, and given plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has its own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away.

Katelyn took such great care of our beagle while we were out of town for a week. She’s very communicative and was kind, patient, and flexible when our flights got cancelled. Our beagle loved her and seemed so happy and content when we picked him up. Thank you, Katelyn!

Katelyn is so loving to my dog; he absolutely adores her. She is reliable and communicative and was very graciously able to fit us in on short notice. She is highly attentive to jimmy’s well-being, especially on hot days.

Katelyn was wonderful with my Bee. My senior chi-weenie can sometimes be very anxious with a new boarder but Katelyn and her space was great for Bee and she settled down really quickly. I’ll definitely be a repeat.
