Pet care experience

Walks, cuddles & peace of mind

I’ve always been the person friends and family trust with their pets because I’m calm, observant, and genuinely invested in their well-being. By trade I’m an ICU nurse, so I naturally pay close attention to routines, quirks and comfort levels, and I adjust my care to each pet’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits all approach. My goal is for you pet to feel secure, loved and happy and for you to feel confident that they’re in good hands.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When house sitting, I respect your home and your pet’s routine, keeping things consistent so they feel secure while you’re away. I’m attentive to details, follow care instructions closely and keep a calm, predictable environment. On walks, I prioritize safe routes, proper leash handling and awareness of surroundings and weather, I like to tailor walks to your pet’s energy level and needs I communicate clearly and provide thoughtful updates (with lots of pictures!) so you can feel comfortable with how your dog is doing.

Katelyn did a great job with our dog and cats. We appreciate her being flexible when our travel plans changed due to the weather.

House Sitting • Dec 30, 2025

We had an amazing experience with Katelyn! She truly went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and caring, which helped me actually relax and enjoy my trip knowing my dogs were in such good hands. She kept the house spotless, let me know about even the smallest things (like a toy getting torn up), and took the dogs to the dog park — they were clearly happy, loved, and well cared for. Her communication was thoughtful and reassuring, and it was obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. She is reliable, attentive, and exactly where she says she’ll be. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly treats your pets like her own.

Katelyn has an innate love for pets, likely stemming from having grown up with dogs, cats, and chickens. As an adult, she's done a fantastic job in raising and training her own dog, and will carry that same affection and responsibility to any pet-sitting opportunities she will get. I can highly recommend Katelyn as a pet sitter.

Katie is a thoughtful, caring, and attentive pet sitter. She really loves animals, and it shows in her work. My cats can be a bit weird around people they don't know well, but they both took to her immediately, and they enjoy her company every time she watches them. I love knowing that they are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. Katie is the best, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. Look no further!

Schedule

By trade, I’m an ICU nurse, and am currently taking some time away from the bedside to focus on something a little more peaceful, like taking care of pets. My schedule is wide open, which means I’m flexible with days and times I’m available. I used Rover when I worked 12 hour shifts in the hospital, so I know what I wanted in a dog walker for my dog. I want you to feel comfortable and carefree while you’re at work or away from home and I’m taking care of your most treasured companion.
