Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness above all else. I create a calm and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for, maintaining their regular routines as much as possible. I’m attentive to their individual needs—whether it’s meal times, medication, or extra cuddles—and always keep a close eye on their behavior and wellbeing. I treat every pet like family, making sure they receive plenty of love, gentle attention, and appropriate exercise or play. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in caring, experienced hands.

Information Katelynn A. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s feeding schedule, any medical needs, potty routine, and behavior quirks. It’s also helpful to know their favorite toys, daily habits, and any house rules. That way, I can keep them happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away!

A typical day

I start with feeding, a walk or playtime, and lots of attention. Throughout the day, I follow care instructions, keep things tidy, and make sure the pet feels safe and loved. I also send updates to the owner. I’ll play fetch, go on walks, or do training games with dogs. For cats, I use toys like feather wands or lasers and give cuddle time if they like it. I always match the fun to their personality!

Pet care experience

As a veterinary student at the University of Pennsylvania with over 4 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, I bring both medical knowledge and hands-on care to every pet I watch. I’m confident handling pets of all ages and temperaments—from playful puppies to senior pets who need a gentler touch. I’m experienced with administering medications, recognizing early signs of illness, and creating a calm, comfortable environment for anxious animals. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, a special diet, or just a cuddle buddy while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own :)

Katelynn is so fantastic! We’ll miss her (and the boys will, too) as she continues on her studies. She’s going to make a fabulous veterinarian!

Katelynn was fantastic! She did drop-in visits for my three cats and took great care of them. They are all shy with strangers but she was able to locate each of them on every visit. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Katelynn was reliable, attentive, and highly professional. I will definitely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
