Animals r Family, not just friends

Pet care experience

I've had at least one animal in my household my entire life (almost 21 years). I have helped my neighbor by doing drop-ins for their cat and I've also helped my childhood friend dog sit other people's animals multiple times so I know what I am doing and what I'm in for. I currently go to college studying animal behavior so that I can one day open a shelter and rescue animals from the streets. I am very passionate and devoted to my work and there's nothing I would rather be doing with my life than being with animals.

Katelynn watched our dog in our house for a weekend and did an awesome job. She sent us frequent updates and pictures of him letting us know he was doing great! Highly recommend her

Katelynn stayed at our house to care for our 100 lb shepherd mix and two cats while we were on vacation. She was easy to get in touch with and gave us great updates during our trip. She left the house spotless and we could tell that the animals were well cared for when we got home.

Katelynn stayed at our home to watch after our shy doggo and did a fantastic job! She sent updates 2+ times per day and made a lot of effort to help our dog feel comfortable. She kept to the schedule and was happy to send photos! Not only were we happy with her care for our dog, but she went above and beyond caring for our home while she stayed. We will certainly use Katelynn again and would recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard at home with room to run around and do zoomies in as well as a big park nearby perfect for dog walking. I live on a one-way street with a large "island" in the middle that's perfect for playing with your fur babies. While I'm away at college, I'll be living in an apartment that's part of my college's housing. As a result, I won't be able to take care of your fur babies at my apt, but I am more than happy to take your fur babies for a walk around the lakefront nearby or on a small nature trail just down the street.

Information Katelynn D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur baby(ies) have any special needs to pay special attention to or behaviors that I should know about. Also, let me know if there is anything specific you want me to do if I see the dog perform that behavior. It's important for you to let me know how your fur baby(ies) respond to other dogs and any other animals as well as new people so that I can approach the situation appropriately and efficiently. It would also be important to note any medical conditions or allergies they have and if there is anything you need me to do to help the fur baby regarding those potential conditions. Please let me know if there's a specific schedule that you and your fur babies follow so that I can stick to it as well (please include all the details that go along with that specific schedule).

A typical day

I love playing with the dogs physically and using their energy to my advantage because as everyone knows, a tired dog is a happy dog. I love roller-blading down by the park or going on a nice long bike ride around the neighborhood. I like to go out every once in a while and enjoy some nice fresh air. I tend to try and tire myself and/or any fur babies that I have with me so that we can get a good night's rest. There is a little nature trail right by my college apartment that I'd love to take the dogs I watch on and maybe even go for a little run.

During the summer I work 2 jobs. I do Rover as well as work for a company called "Out U Go!" in which I walk several dogs a week and occasionally drop in on kitties. Although I am very busy throughout the week, I will always do my best to fit in any extra bookings I can and help out whenever I possibly can.I also go back to college at the end of August/early September.
