Love dogs more than life
Pet care experience
I had my first dog sitting job in 2011 and it went so well that they ended up giving me the dog when they had to move. I have been caring for dogs ever since, from those only a few weeks old to in their later years, and a <2 lb Pomeranian to a full grown and well fed Labrador.
Reviews
Katelyn has been great with our dog, BoyBoy! Nothing would do but my wife had to get a dog. I was resistant. I knew that with our very busy schedule dog care would prove burdensome. But I can never say no to my wife, so we ended up with the most wonderful Golden Retriever imaginable. Our schedule, however, calls for frequent out of town trips. Finding care for BoyBoy initially proved difficult. We checked out boarding him. BoyBoy would have none of that. Katelyn has proved to be a blessing. BoyBoy loves when Katelyn comes over and is a little less annoyed when we leave on a trip. When we’re in town but late at work, we count on Katelyn to walk and feed BoyBoy. Our Golden is especially sensitive even for Goldens. Large dark objects (trash bins, cars, trucks, lawn equipment) must be avoided at all costs. Katelyn makes sure to avoid such perceived dangers on walks. He thinks that he is a lap dog, even at 85 lbs. Katelyn indulges (actually relishes in, I believe) his need for cuddling. We’re naturally partial to Goldens, but ask Katelyn what her favorite breed is, she’ll respond “All of them!” She has a big heart for all dogs, and it shows!
Katelyn is the best!! She has a real affinity for all animals. My husband and I travel a lot and our golden retriever, Apollo, is very shy and very sensitive. So we have to be extremely selective in who we choose to watch him. And Katelyn has proven to be that special someone who makes our precious pet feel at home and comfortable while we are away. Apollo is always so happy whenever Katelyn watches him. When we return from our trips, it is obvious that he has been well cared for. We feel fortunate to have known Katelyn for years, and we highly recommend Katelyn to care for your pet.
We have know Katelyn for 12 years , l would highly recommend her as a pet caregiver. She is very affectionate and caring to all animals.
Katelyn loves dogs; any and all dogs- any size, any breed. She is very dependable. Katelyn will be on time and your dog(s) will be very well cared for. Your dog’s needs will be met and they will receive a lot of attention- if that is what they want. Katelyn will take cues from your dog on how to interact with them.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a private fenced yard (with a pool) outside the front door to my apartment. Neither are huge but have been plenty when I’ve had smaller dogs stay with me for a few days (even big dogs, if they’re lower energy). It is just my partner and I in the home so there won’t be much stress on the dog dealing with a lot of people and activity.

A typical day
My days are flexible, and the schedule will depend on the wants and needs of each individual dog! I strive to make sure they get everything they need while including special activities tailored to them to ensure they have a good day(s) and aren’t focused on being away from their family.
