Your Pet’s New Bestie🐾🤎

Hi! I’m Katelyn, and I’ve been an animal lover my entire life. I have a huge soft spot for dogs of every breed, size, and personality, and I truly treat every pet I care for like they’re my own. 🐾 I’ve grown up around dogs and have hands-on experience caring for dogs with all different personalities and needs, including shy, reactive, anxious, and dogs with challenging or aggressive behaviors. I understand that not every dog warms up immediately, and I’m comfortable being patient, learning their boundaries, and earning their trust at their own pace. I’m also not afraid of a challenge! I’m happy to reinforce existing training, work on basic manners and commands, and stay consistent with any routines or training methods you already use at home. I love getting to know what makes each dog unique and figuring out what helps them feel comfortable and confident. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy who needs lots of exercise, a shy pup who needs some extra patience, or a senior who would rather spend the afternoon cuddling, I’m happy to adjust my care to what they need. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so communication is really important to me. You can expect plenty of pictures and updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you’re away! 🤍

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, training, or behavioral needs. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and boundaries, especially with shy, anxious, or reactive dogs. Their safety and comfort will always be my priority, and I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.

Schedule

I have a super flexible schedule! I work remotely so I am able to make plenty of time for your pet! I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible, whether that means walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or just keeping them company. I want them to feel as comfortable and cared for as possible while you’re away.

I’d love to know anything that will help me get to know your pet and make them feel comfortable! Their normal routine, energy level, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, and any little quirks are always helpful. If your pet is shy, anxious, reactive, slow to warm up, or has certain triggers, please don’t hesitate to share that with me! I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m more than happy to be patient, respect their boundaries, and take the time to earn their trust. 🤍
