Safety, trust & environment

When letting dogs outside, I make sure that the owner has a fenced in backyard to let them out in. If they do not, I always have the dogs on a leash when outside for a potty break or walk.

Information Katelyn M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog needs any specific type of care or if they have any behaviors/mannerisms I need to know about. The more information the better when it comes to taking care of your animals!

A typical day

I would love to take your dog for walks or runs or just cuddle up on the coach too. What ever your dog or cat prefers!

Teacher w/lots of open availability

Pet care experience

Both my aunt and uncle are retired veterinarians, so caring for animals runs in the family! I have grown up with/have taken care of dogs and cats all my life. I am also a runner, so if your dog would like to go for a run and not just a walk, that would be a great option too! I also have experience working at the Pooch Palace which is a boarding, grooming, and doggy day care facility in West Lafayette. I have a dog, named Woody, who is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and I also have a cat named Wade. I have grown up with different dog breeds such as golden retrievers, labs, and pit mixes.

Katelyn did wonderfully watching our cat while we were gone! We so appreciated the frequent updates, her communication when she needed clarification on instructions I left, and ESPECIALLY her flexibility when we had to be gone longer than expected. She was happy to schedule more visits and work with our travel schedule. Highly recommend, and my kitty clearly loved the time she devoted to cuddles!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
