Loving and Playful Animal Caretaker
Pet care experience
I service NJ but unfortunately do not service NY at this time! I've had dogs, cats, and a myriad of other pets ever since I was a child; honestly, I feel a greater bond with animals than people. I have experience primarily with cats and medium-large breeds of dogs, and I have taken care of pets throughout all stages of their lives: puppies and kittens, young adults and adults, and the elderly. My goal is to make all pets happy and comfortable, especially during the stressful time in which their owners may be on vacation, at work, or not available for many other reasons. I recognize that life is complicated, and I will be your caretaking partner alongside you!
Reviews
Katelyn has been great. We have booked her several times now. She is very reliable and our cats seem to like her too.
Reliable. Great communicator. Our dogs really seemed to love her.
I felt comfortable leaving my, “Baby” with Katelyn. She followed my instructions and updated me on how Luna was doing. Luna loved her, and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing she was in good hands. Bonus; she cared for my two guinea pigs as well.
Katelyn is great, easy to communicate and have no issue to follow the diet instructions of my two cats! Both cats took her in relatively quick and they had a great time together during her visits! I can tell she cares and loves cats and I would definitely book her again in the future! Thank you!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that it is worrisome to leave your pet home alone, especially when you need to travel. I've been in your shoes - inviting a stranger to watch my pets while gone. I won't be a stranger to you or your pets. I will respect your home, property, and of course most important your pet him/herself!
Information Katelyn S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know your dog's and cat's temperament ahead of time. Are they friendly? Are they high or low-energy? I also would love to know what types of toys or playtime your dog or cat prefers as well as if they like cuddling. It's important to know if your dog or cat has any issues with other dogs for walking purposes and also if they have any other behavioral problems.
A typical day
I love playing fetch as well as tug-o-war with the dogs I watch. In addition, I love providing cuddles with those dogs who are less high energy or who are missing their owners! I walk the dogs I watch around their home neighborhoods, and I prefer if you let me know your normal route or location you walk your dog. And let's not forget about cats! I love giving cuddles with cats, playing with them, and becoming familiar with their individual personalities.

Availability
I currently work part-time, so my schedule is much more flexible than those with full-time jobs! I am able to stop by multiples times a day, if necessary, to ensure your pet is well-cared for and happy!
