Safety, trust & environment
Your home is their sanctuary, and I treat it with the reverence it deserves. Beyond the science of my Anthrozoology degree is a deep respect for the bond you share with your pet. A Shared Language: I prioritize building a bond of trust with your pet, using gentle patience to ensure their time with me is the highlight of their day—never a source of stress. Total Transparency: Consider me your pet’s personal biographer! I’ll send frequent, heartwarming updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. Safety is a Promise: From strict security routines to clinical-level hygiene, I guard your home and your companions as if they were my own. Your peace of mind is my greatest priority.
Ratings and reviews
Some miscommunication lowered my ranking a bit, but otherwise it seems that she did a good job walking my dog!
Katelyn was very sweet to our 2 dogs and cat. She messaged us multiple times during her stay including photo updates. She was respectful and punctual. We felt very secure going away overnight with her in our home. The pets loved their time with her.
Unfortunately, we would not book with this sitter again due to two issues that affected our trust during overnight stays. We have an indoor camera in a common living area that was fully disclosed before booking, including its purpose and when we would access it, and she agreed to this arrangement. During her first stay, the camera went offline shortly after she arrived and came back online after she left. We hoped it was a technical issue. During her second stay, the exact same thing happened. Because we had questioned it the first time, we kept a second camera operating in a separate, inaccessible room. That camera remained online throughout the stay while the living-area camera went offline during her time in our home and returned online after her departure. Based on this pattern, we believe the living-area camera was intentionally disconnected. We were also concerned when she told us she would be leaving approximately four hours earlier than our agreed-upon end time because of another pet-care commitment. We had specifically booked care until 3:00 p.m. so our dog would be let out late enough to comfortably make it until we returned home that evening. After we told her leaving early would not work and was not our agreement, she returned to take our dog out again. Our dog was cared for, but when someone is staying in our home and caring for our pet, we need to trust that agreed-upon arrangements will be honored. Given these experiences, we would not use this sitter again.
Katelyn is/was such a great dog walker! She met with me right away to meet my dog and responded super quick! She sent lots of pictures and made sure he was well taken care of when I was gone. Would highly recommend:)
Fast response and came right on time!
Katelyn was great with walking our dog Brewster!

Schedule
Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s the heartbeat of my daily routine. I integrate your pet’s needs seamlessly into a structured schedule of feeding, exercise, and enrichment. My goal is to maintain the consistency they crave, ensuring they stay happy, healthy, and perfectly pampered while you’re away. I use my background in Anthrozoology to ensure every routine I build supports your pet’s specific behavioral and physical needs
