Safety, trust & environment

I will not be providing home services at my place at this time. I don’t have a fenced in yard and I’m right by 2 busy roads. If dog training is needed then we can schedule a time and place! When I come into your home I let the dog greet me, and if they’re acting afraid or cautious I let them show me around. I’m all about not stressing out your animals! We want them to be happy and not stressed when you’re away which is where I come in!

Information Katelyn S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviors that need to be watched, or allergies I need to account for. I usually bring training treats to help ease there worries with a new person because we all know how stressful that can be for some dogs or cats. Let me know if they need any work on training, and I can be of some assistance as well!

A typical day

Let’s throw some toys, play some fetch, go to the beach for a nice little hike, etc. I don’t tend to take dogs to dog parks because other dogs can become aggressive. That’s putting your pup at risk, and I don’t want that. We can go to the baseball field that’s enclosed in Atascadero. There’s no other dogs, unless you would like me to take them to a specific dog park that you like, and frequent. I do know how to handle dog aggressive situations and can do so calmly.

Pet care experience

I have trained multiple dogs from 5lb puppies, to 200lb adults from little coon hound pups to Airedale’s, bouviers, pitbulls, labs, etc. All through positive dog training. Nothings impossible! Veteran of the US Army who loves all animals😁 Contact me and we can schedule outside of Rover, they tack on an extra 5% on top of my fees so you’re paying them too!

Katelyn was great with our five year old pittie Luna while we were out of town for a family trip. She was sensitive to her medication, food and activity levels, and made sure to keep us updated while we were away. Definitely recommend her for pet + house sitting!

Katlyn is truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. She took care of our 1-year-old Samoyed, Floki, for two days during our wedding in Paso Robles and went above and beyond in every way. She even came by the day before for a meet-and-greet to make sure Floki felt comfortable. Katlyn brought treats, new toys, and spent time training Floki so she could perform her ring bearer role perfectly—and she absolutely nailed it! Her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals made all the difference. We felt completely at ease knowing Floki was in such caring hands. We can’t recommend Katlyn highly enough.

Katelyn was wonderful to work with! She was incredibly responsive and took amazing care of our dog. We will definitely be booking with her again the next time we go out of town.

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.
