I have 2 friendly pups, a golden retriever and a border collie mix. And a cat who LOVES all dogs!! We have a dog park that’s only a few minute walk from our house as well!

Information Katelynn R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what type of personality your pet has and any type of training that you’re working on with him and/or her so I can help keep up with that for you! I also would like to know if there are any behavioral issues that are important to know before meeting the pet and any health issues that she/he may have!

A typical day

I love taking pets out on long nice walks or if the pet parents have a fenced in yard, throwing a ball or running around the yard with the pets!

Pet care experience

I've worked with multiple different breeds over the years, I used to work a few boarding facilities, pet stores, and a grooming salon! I love working with all breeds! My house is a 3 story townhouse, it’s very spacious! I have multiple gates throughout to house so pets can’t get into areas where I can’t keep an eye on them! I have extra crates if needed, and a hyper Border collie mix puppy who would be an amazing play mate for their stay! We also have a dog park that’s only a 5 minute walk from our house!!

Katelynn is a nice girl, but did not devote the time to care for my young cats, spending minimal time with them. The majority of her time was spent working for her other business. Cleanliness was an issue, dirty water bowls, dried food bowls in the sink. Showed up late in the 2nd day, no call until over an hour later. On another occasion, showed up much earlier than we scheduled. Katelynn’s other business has priority. This is not what I paid for.

Katie was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Wren and Lucy. She shared many photos and updates during our trip out of town to visit our grandchildren. Having Katie watch our dogs gave us a great piece of mind, and the dogs had a wonderful time, too! Thank you, Katie, for going above and beyond in caring for our dogs.

I was so happy with Katelyn's service. She was very friendly and professional. My dog is diabetic and knowing Katlynn was there to care if her really put me at ease. Thank you so much for your concern and support for my "Bella".
