Pet care experience
I have spent the last 4 years building a reputation for myself as a pet caretaker, and I most often petsit by staying in-home to keep the pets (especially those with anxiety) more comfortable. I have a dog of my own, who is very well loved and trained. I will provide the pets I take care of with as much love, attention, and time I possibly can. I enjoy taking the dogs I take care of on hikes and even drives if they enjoy it, and might even treat them to some of the grain free treats I keep on hand! I've had experience with pets of all sizes, ranging from miniature dachshunds to large German shepherds, with senior cats and kittens, as well! I'm very excited to meet you and your furbabies!
Reviews
We had Katelyn watch our 2 golden retrievers for the first time for a week when we were out of town. She came prior for a visit to get to know her and introduce her dog to ours, and she was well behaved and the dogs got along great. As a matter of fact it was a good distraction for our anxiety dog who has trouble with thunderstorms, gunshots and fireworks to have a new playmate. Katelyn did well with dealing with Winston’s thunderstorm issue as well as a wounded paw and Bella had a cyst that was problematic. Katelyn stayed overnight and took care of our chickens and fish pond, watered plants and garden as well. She was respectful of house rules, was neat and tidy and sent us wonderful update messages and photos daily so we knew the dogs were doing well. I would definitely hire Katelyn again. She was wonderful with our pets and home.
Katelyn did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs and our house while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. We would definitely recommend using her!
Katelyn sent frequent updates and our pups and home were in great shape when we came back!
Katelyn was an absolute dream. She took care of our babies while we were out of town and was so easy to work with. Our house was immaculate when we got back and everyone was well taken care of. Truly fantastic house/pet sitter!

While I do not petsit in my home, I do often petsit at the client's home. I make sure to meet beforehand to set specific expectations on what the pets are used to, as well as their regular schedules and required care. I love to play with the pets if they are able, to take dogs out for walks and hikes, and to of course give plenty of cuddles! I do my best to keep my quality of care as high as possible, and I respect any and all requests that clients have.
Information Katelyn M. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. Before I take care of a dog, I would like to know how they react to other people or other dogs, what activities they enjoy most, how active they are, and if they have any health or anxiety issues.
A typical day
I enjoy going on hikes, especially near a river if a dog likes to swim, and I can also take more active dogs on jogs if needed! We will play with their favorite toys for as long as needed, and even enjoy going on car rides if the dog enjoys them. Cats are wonderful cuddle buddies (or even just companions from afar if they prefer), and I love playing or even just hanging out with them! I also do my best to provide a daily check-in of all pets including photos of them.
