Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because as a nurse, I only work three days a week, which gives me four full days dedicated to being home and fully present. On my days off, I have complete flexibility for walks, drop-ins, boarding, playtime, and sticking closely to your dog’s normal routine. Even on the days I do work, my schedule is predictable, allowing me to plan dependable care and maintain consistency. Nursing has made me highly organized and intentional with my time, so pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I thoughtfully plan for. Your pet would receive focused, reliable attention from someone whose schedule truly allows for it.

About Katelyn M.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They receive structured playtime, regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m mindful of maintaining their normal feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medical needs, and as a nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always a priority, and I create a calm, supervised environment where dogs can feel secure and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding guidelines, medications, crate routines, or preferred walking routes. I spend quality time with them beyond the basics—playing, cuddling, and providing companionship—so they don’t just feel “checked on,” but genuinely cared for. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Pet care experience
If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and bring a level of professionalism and medical awareness most sitters simply don’t have, I’m your person. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior, respond calmly in emergencies, and confidently administer medications or follow detailed care plans. I’m also a proud dog mom to two golden retrievers, so I understand firsthand the energy, affection, and attention dogs need to truly thrive—not just get by. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds with different temperaments and needs, and I helped foster six puppies in high school, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be genuinely cared for, understood, and treated like family in a safe, loving environment you can feel completely confident about.
Reviews
Katelyn was absolutely fantastic with my dogs Hamm and Polly! She sent me regular updates and photos, followed every instruction perfectly, and went above and beyond to make sure Hamm and Polly were happy and well-fed. When I came home, they were calm, content, and clearly well-loved in my absence. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter, I can’t recommend Katelyn enough!
Katelyn is nothing short of the perfect person to care for anyone’s pups when you need it the most. She always loves on them with her whole heart and ensures to follow everything they are use to at home. Also, she never lets you worry about your babies by checking in with you and sending you pictures. I truly wouldn’t want anyone else to watch my pup, she’s the very best!!
We feel so lucky to have found Katelyn, she is such an amazing dog sitter! She has been caring for our 4-year-old hound mix for the past two years and has watched our golden retriever since he was just 7 weeks old (he’s now 6 months), and we truly couldn’t ask for better care. Both of our dogs adore her and her husband and have the best time playing with their two golden retrievers, it’s clear they’re treated like part of the family while they’re there. She’s incredibly attentive to their individual needs and always goes above and beyond, even caring for our golden’s infected eye while we were out of town and keeping us updated every step of the way. We trust her completely and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their dogs as if they were her own.
Katelyn is the best! She watched my dog Miley for a few days while I was on a family vacation, and I knew that I couldn't have put her in better hands! Miley is especially reactive, so I was worried that she would be too much to handle, but Katelyn took care of her so well and all of her needs were met. She has two golden retrievers of her own, and she is a loving and caring owner. Highly recommend Katelyn for all your pet sitting needs!
