Dog lover, hiker, and adventurer!
Pet care experience
I am a dog lover who has always had a dog in the house. I have experience with puppies and small to large dogs (80 lbs.), leash reactivity, and simple obedience training. I'm comfortable using multiple different collars and harnesses that fit your dog's needs on walks. I grew up in a small, rural town around all sorts of dogs, hunting dogs, working dogs, and of course house dogs! I currently have a 8 year old hound mix (rescue) that has taught me a lot over the last few years, especially about reactivity and anxiety. It has allowed me to become in-tune with dog behavior and notice when to allow dogs to greet one another and when not to. Your dog's safety and happiness is my number 1 priority! I am currently a part-time contract worker for a nonprofit so my hours and schedule are flexible to fit your and your best friend's needs. Your trust and the safety of your best friend is the most important to me. I am not afraid to ask questions to be sure I am providing the best care while you are away.
Reviews
Katelyn is wonderful! She was a natural with my hyper dog and showed up right on time!
Katelyn is an amazing caring, conscientious, thoughtful, communicative, thorough and professional dog sitter. She took great care of our senior dog for a week. I highly recommend Katelyn for quality care of anyone's fur baby!!
Katie is one of the most patient and thoroughly trained individuals I have ever encountered when it comes to interacting with dogs. She treats my high energy, large breed dogs with the utmost respect, understanding, and love, instilling in me a great confidence while leaving them with her whether for a walk or overnight. She is simply the best!
Katelyn is my go to person for all things doggo! Whenever I have a colleague or friend who has a question about a product or training technique I refer them to Katelyn (Katie). She puts in a lot of time and effort into making sure Clutch (her pup) is well cared for. From insisting that we all spray our hiking boots with tick repellent, to sustainable pup hiking gear and eco - friend food and treats, Katie keeps Clutch happy, healthy and environmentally friendly. Clutch was a challenging pup when she first adopted him and she has dedicated SO much time and effort into training and loving him. She is consistent and caring and a great doggo resource and mom. If you have a dog question, ask Katie!

A typical day
Walks with me are fun and engaging! You won't find me with my head buried in my phone while walking your best friend. Is your dog a fetch fiend? I'll gladly throw a ball until they're tired out. Does your dog like slow, meandering walks? I'll stop and smell the roses with them!
