Pet care experience
An Oasis of Calm for a Peaceful Pup
Soothing background sounds of classical music, natural light pouring in from the windows, cozy nook beds to curl up, and full attention provided throughout the day and night as needed. Creating a relaxing environment for a dog to feel safe when away from home is exactly what I strive to provide. I value offering predictable routines to significantly reduce anxiety, play time outdoors, puzzle toys for mental stimulation, and meeting your dog's needs in ways that are specific to them. As someone who has provided pet care throughout the last twenty years, and having two dogs myself for the last 5 years, I understand how valuable it is to find a sitter that is reliable, trustworthy, and observant. I will create a plan of care specific to your dog in order to recreate the consistencies of their home life and ensure a comfortable experience.

Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter than Katelynn! From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares for animals. Every time we’re away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our pet is not only safe but truly loved. Katelynn goes above and beyond to make sure our pet feels comfortable, happy, and cared for, and it shows in how excited our pet is to see her. Her reliability, kindness, and attention to detail are unmatched. It’s such a relief to know our furry family member is in such loving hands. We are so grateful for Katelynn and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pet as if it were their own!

Schedule
I am a stay at home parent with minimal commitments outside of the home, which makes my schedule very flexible and accommodating. I do have some weekday morning appointments that may require me to leave the house for 1-2 hours. If boarding, I am available for last minute bookings. For dog walking or services that require being out of the home, I will need a few day notice to ensure I am not busy with other clients as I plan to only work with one family at a time. Please note that I have two older children that may accompany me for dog walking and drop in visits, but I will personally be responsible for handling all pet care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two friendly dogs who are both crate trained but prefer to roam freely. I keep a gate on the staircase to keep pets on the main level. This is for safety to ensure they are better supervised and not left unattended. My main level is very clear and clutter free. I have a gate on the back deck so the dogs can lounge safely outdoors. I do not have a fenced yard as our dogs are trained to stay within the boundary of the back yard, but I do have a dog play pen attached to the deck in the yard for potty breaks (this was set up to house train my puppy in a more confined area outside). Please let me know preference for your dog being outside as I am happy to take them out on a leash or let them in the play pen area if they aren't jumpers.
Pets
A typical day
My style is focused on creating a calm and peaceful environment from experience working with dogs that have separation anxiety. My house offers a more grounding, quiet environment consisting of yoga, reading, puzzles, crochet, artwork, and baking (even homemade healthy pup treats, with owners permission of course!). There are trail walks at conservations nearby if comfortable with me driving your pet a mile down the road, otherwise playing fetch in the yard and having access to a large bin of toys will keep your dog busy all day!
