Trustworthy Pet Care Specialist
Pet care experience
Growing up I have always had pets surrounding me, plenty of small and large breed dogs along with cats, guinea pigs, mice, snakes - you name it. However, my passion for dogs really began about 7 years back when I started working for a pet retreat. I adored my spending all of my time with dogs and over time it turned into my walk of life. Now I have gained many years of experience working for and managing different dog facilities such as boarding, daycares and a grooming salon. I love seeing dogs around that I have cared for, they all have become my friends! Safety is always my number one concern when it comes to your dog, that’s why I am certified in pet First Aid and CPR and am trained on how to respond during medical emergencies. I have experience with elderly and disabled dogs and am able to medicate orally and injections. My background in training allows me to handle dogs that may need extra attention. During in home stays, I am more than happy to do any additional chores or duties like bringing in mail and keeping the house tidy. I aim to provide peace of mind to pet parents while they are away. To maintain so, I am flexible, contstanlty keeping you updated, and making sure the entire stay is well rounded.
Reviews
Katelyn is an excellent animal caretaker. I have known her for about 3 years. I have worked with Katelyn in the past at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I can tell that she has always had a passion for animals. Katelyn is professional, trustworthy, and most importantly, compassionate and loving to all animals I have seen her care for over the years.
Katelyn is a phenomenal dog sitter and a treat to have around my pup. Katelyn watched my 3 year old Weimaraner, Blue, over the weekend and I couldn't be more pleased. We met up and she introduced me to her adorable dog Dante. Blue and Dante became quick friends. She offered to bathe and clip Blues nails and I gladly tipped her for her extra effort. I got a a few picture updates texted to me of my big boy playing and with suds on his head. I fully endorse Katelyn's proficiency with dogs and will definitely be contacting her for future use.
I have two pit bulls named Nina and Ben. They have lots of energy and can be difficult to keep under control partly because of how large they are. My schedule at work can be hectic and Nina and Ben aren't always given the attention they need. It was very difficult to find a dog sitter that I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with until I met Katelyn. She is passionate about pets and brings years of knowledge on caring for many different breeds of dogs. Now my dogs are happy and I can rest assured that they are in good hands.
I had a great experience with Katelyn’s pet care, she was very prompt to respond to my message and very flexible with my schedule. I loved that she provided basic grooming services and gave me good advice on how to groom my dog at home. I came home to a clean home and happy pups and I will definitely be booking her again soon!
