Pet care experience
Your Pet’s New BFF (Besides You)🐾
I’ve never known a life without pets present. I grew up side-by-side with my parents’ first “baby”—a golden retriever puppy born just a few months before me—and my love for animals only grew from there. As a teen, I volunteered at local rescues, fostered animals throughout undergrad, adopted a sweet senior dog of my own, and later welcomed home my first cat: a scrappy little shelter kitten labeled “on clearance.” (Yes, really.) I’ve cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels—from zoomies-on-command puppies to nap-loving seniors. I know every animal has their own quirks, and I tailor my care to match what makes your pet feel happiest, safest, and most at ease. As a lifelong pet parent myself, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to find someone you trust. That’s why I go out of my way to make the experience feel seamless and stress-free—for both you and your pet. I’ll never treat your booking like a quick task; I genuinely love spending time with animals and want them to feel just as comfortable with me as they do with you. Expect plenty of updates, photos, and thoughtful notes after each visit. Whether your dog needs a patient buddy, a walking partner, or just someone to sit and keep them company—I’ll be there with warmth, reliability, and care you can count on.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their comfort and safety are always my top priority. I take time to fully get to know you and your pet’s preferences, routines, and personalities to ensure I can make their care feel as secure and stress-free as possible. I am thorough with going over and confirming all care instructions your pets need, and prioritize safety and comfort above all else. I always double-check doors (locks, keys, codes, alarms, gates), food and water levels, all care instructions for both animals and home, preferred levels of communication & updates, etc—because trust is built in the little details. I will fully accommodate any special instructions and communication preferences requested by you, as I know how nerve wracking it can be to find a care provider you trust to care not just for your furry family member, but with your residence as well! Please rest comfortably knowing it is my utmost priority to ensure your loved one is in competent, caring, trustworthy hands. _______ As a random bonus — for my Chinese clients, I am 100% fluent in Mandarin (國語/普通話). However, I am an ABC, so I would prefer English especially for written communication, but otherwise, I hope my bilingual skills make the process of finding a sitter you trust and are comfortable with even easier.
Ratings and reviews
I appreciate Katelyn so much!!!!! She goes out of her way every time I book her. She gives Diamond so much love, cares so much for him, and I never worry about him when Katelyn takes care of him. Wish I could give Katelyn a billion stars!
Katelyn has been our go-to sitter for over a year by now. She always exceeds expectations and is willing to go an extra mile. Our two furry friends love her so much and always rush to her the minute she arrives at our doorstep!
Katelyn was truly amazing! She was fantastic at taking care of our kitties while we were away. Loved the detailed summary & pics we received after each check in. Would definitely recommend her & use her services in the future. She’s a great photographer too.
Katelyn is a superstar sitter! It’s hard to come by sitters that go above and beyond than what we ask of them and that is her. You can 100% put your whole trust in her with your fur babies. She follows all of the instructions given and follows up on them. She also cleaned up our house and now I can come back and just relax. I also got daily updates and report cards and I was able to go on my trip and relax knowing that my baby was in great hands. Katelyn is the only sitter I will be booking because she was that amazing! BOOK HER NOW!!!!
Katelyn went way above and beyond when taking care of my cat for two days! She gave so much love to Diamond, fed him, played with him, and even washed his food bowls! I came home to a happy cat and I would definitely rebook Katelyn again.
If you’re looking for a sitter, stop right here — Katelyn is the one. I have three cats and this was my first time leaving them for more than just a quick trip, so I was super nervous. I honestly didn’t know if I could trust anyone with them. But Katelyn completely changed that for me. Communication She was amazing from the start. Before the visits she asked all the right questions, learned about my cats, their habits, and how my home is set up. While I was away (in a totally different time zone), she always told me when she was on the way, and after each visit she sent detailed updates with lots of clear photos. Those pictures weren’t just proof, they really showed how much attention she gave. Every message felt thoughtful and personal, and it gave me so much peace of mind. Care Katelyn did everything: cleaned litter boxes, washed bowls, refreshed food and water, kept the space tidy, and made sure the cats had playtime and treats. What blew me away was how quickly my cats warmed up to her. They’re usually very shy, but they went to her almost right away. Seeing my cats actually playing with someone new — that was a first, and it meant so much to me. Other Honestly, Katelyn gave me more than I expected. If you’re hoping for good care, she’ll give you great care. If you’re expecting fine, she’ll give you fantastic care. Her passion and responsibility really shine through, and it’s clear she treats your pets as if they were her own. I came back to happy, relaxed cats and a clean home, and I can’t thank her enough. If you want someone who truly cares, who communicates, and who you can trust with your pets — book Katelyn. You won’t regret it.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I work remotely/part time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and snuggles they need throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday potty breaks, or evening playtime, I’m able to build my day around your pet’s needs to keep them happy and relaxed while you're away for the weekend or at the office.
