Reactive dogs welcome!
Pet care experience
I’ve had pets from a young age and have always been passionate about working with dogs. I immediately started working with dogs the first chance I got. I began working as a volunteer for a foster based rescue when I was 14 years old, from there I became a dog bather and dog handler at a daycare, and currently I work at a dog rescue. I have worked with dogs of every age, temperament and size. I have also done some informal training with aggressive/reactive dogs. I also have worked with cats in a shelter/rescue environment as well as having two cats of my own!
Reviews
Katelyn was great! She was reliable and communicative. We loved the pictures and she alerted us to leaks at our condo. We would highly recommend her for pet parents!
Katelyn is truly a gem. I had to leave town for work and Katelyn graciously accepted looking after my cat Pippin once more. Even though this time, Pippin needed a little extra care with scheduled medicine twice a day. I deeply appreciate Katelyn's care and communication while I was away. It makes me feel comfortable leaving Pippin at home with such kind people to take care of her. Thanks again Katelyn!!
Katelyn was awesome! I'm so glad that she was able to check in on my cat, Pippin, while I was away. Coordination was a breeze and Pippin is happy as a clam! I'd recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet. I'll definitely be reaching out to Katelyn again should I need someone to watch Pippin!
Katelyn is great! Super sweet and very responsive. Always gets in a mile for a 30 minute walk, which is exactly what my pup needs!
