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 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.

Katelyn was a wonderful sitter. She was communicative and flexible on drop off time, and my dog took to her immediately. He came home with a big smile on his face.

Katelyn was great!! She watched Olive for one night and was an attentive babysitter! She sent a ton of photo updates, was super responsive, and overall very nice.

We couldn’t be happier with the care of our little dog received. From the first meet and greet meeting, it was clear that Katelyn genuinely loves animals. Our dog can be a bit nervous around new people, but our dog feels completely at ease right away. We are kept updated with photos and messages which gave us a peace of mind. Our dog was well fed, exercised and most importantly showered with love and attention. We will absolutely be booking again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.
