Pet care experience

walks, wagging tails & lots of love

I have hands on experience caring for animals through raising my own puppy, which has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of routine. From daily walks and feeding schedules to training, playtime, and vet visits, I understand the level of care and attention dogs and cats need to stay happy and healthy. Having a puppy has also helped me become attentive to behavior, energy levels, and safety, especially during walks and social situations. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Dog Walking • Apr 29, 2026

Katelyn was a great dog walker for our busy pups! She was a great communicator and consistent every morning. I’d recommend her easily for other pet jobs.

Katelyn O’Connor is an exceptional pet sitter who clearly cares deeply about animals. She is reliable, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. Katelyn takes the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, getting in plenty of playtime, or providing extra patience for shy pets. What stands out most about Katelyn is her responsibility and communication. She keeps pet owners updated with messages and photos, which makes being away from home much less stressful. It’s obvious that animals feel safe and happy around her, and she treats every pet as if it were her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to watch your pets, Katelyn O’Connor is an excellent choice. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants peace of mind knowing their pets are in great hands.
