I have a cat named Momo that I think of as my own child, so rest assured I will treat your pet(s) as well as I treat my own. Even besides that, I have such a deep love for animals because personally they’re easier for me to connect to, and sometimes I feel better emotionally just being alone with them then being around certain people. And to me animals are just inherently good, sure they can physically hurt you but that’s usually just because they feel threatened, scared, or they were traumatized by some other really mean humans. Otherwise they are usually quite innocent and lovely companions. And honestly the clients that I get to work with over and over again, I quickly bond with their pets and I truly would lay down my life for them if I had to. Luckily that hasn’t happened yet, but if it did I would! Because I’ve gotten to work with just the sweetest, cutest pups and kitties.

Information Katelyn J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any accommodations your pet may have so that I can prepare ahead of time. In addition, I am capable of working with dogs or pets that have special needs, and/or take medicine.

A typical day

I love to spend time with dogs by taking them on walks, and playing games that will stimulate them mentally and physically. Such as playing catch and/or taking them to a dog park where they can socialize with other dogs (if that's ok with the owner). With cats, I like to play games with them to provide proper enrichment. My cat for instance loves to chase anything that’s on a string or stick. But either way, I always make sure to provide as much love and affection as I possibly can so your pests can feel better while they are away from their parents.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters and walkers is that I will do everything and anything to keep your pet(s) happy, safe, and healthy even if it is at my own expense. I have four years experience of walking dogs and pet/house sitting, and can handle any dog that comes my way. I also have experience working with extremely hyperactive and whiney dogs. Furthermore, I have always had a great love for dogs and pets in general so for me it is an honor to work for someone by taking care of their pet(s). Overall, I am a reliable and trustworthy pet caregiver who will meet you and your pets needs whether that be by way of dog walking, pet sitting, home sitting, etc.

Katelyn did an amazing job with Maverick! She sent updates and photos unprompted while watching him, which was much appreciated.
