Pet care experience

Pick me to care for your fur baby!

If you're looking for someone who can keep your dog fully entertained, I'm your gal! My husband and I moved here from North Carolina in June 2020 for my husband's new position at the Naval Academy. Currently, I am a stay at home mom (two children in the home). We have a Husky named Balto. We usually go 2-4 miles a day between our morning run and daily walks. We're an active little family and enjoy being outside. We are always looking for more furry friends to play with! I've have experience with small-large size dogs. I grew up on a small farm in Iowa with animals like cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. I love all animals and would love to welcome your fur babies into my home!

Kate is FANTASTIC!!! My pup has separation anxiety and Kate and her family were so patient and accommodating for her. It is such a huge relief to trust that my little anxious girl will be taken care of!!

Katelyn is an amazing sitter! We felt completely at ease leaving our dog with her and her family. We could tell from all the texts and pics shared every day, our dog was happy and very well taken care of. We feel so lucky to have found her and hope next time we need someone to leave our dog with she’ll be available! Thanks Katelyn and family for welcoming Bodie into your home!!

I'm hesitant to leave Kate a review because I don't want other people to fill her schedule (how selfish is that?! 🤣). Regardless, our dog has stayed there several times, so I owe Kate a review. In a word, Kate is awesome! I know our dog is treated well. He is very picky about people he likes, doesn't like other dogs (he doesn't dislike them, he just doesn't care), and likes to be home—but he's actually excited when he gets to Kate's, likes her family, and actually likes their dog!

Kate is the best! Frankie feels right at home when he is with her and her family. They take great care of him and make him feel like he is part of the family! Would highly recommend using her services! I know I will again!

We live in a very friendly neighborhood and enjoy runs into the trails in the morning and walks in the neighborhood in the afternoon. We occasionally go to the park down the street when it is empty to play fetch.

Before sitting, I would like to know the dog's tendencies. Its' nice to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs and children, what he/she likes to do for exercise, etc. I don't have any preferences as far as breeds. I do have a toddler in the home. Although he is used to being around dogs, I would keep him a safe distance from new comers just to be on the safe side. I would like to know if your dog has been around children. If they are uneasy around kids, my home might not be the best fit for doggy daycare or overnight visits.
