Highlights
Pet care experience
New to Rover, but not new w/ pets!
I've grown up in a household with dogs and cats, parakeets and fish, guinnea pigs and chickens. I've rode horses, cared for pigs, and herded cows. I live in a housing situation where I can't have a pet so I'm looking to care for yours! I'm an avid runner so I can take your dog/s on runs if walking doesn't seem to do enough for your pup. I know some trails in the area and have an SUV to transport and take your pup somewhere new. I have experience caring for senior animals too, having a cat that lived to 17 years old myself. Previously cared for my family's dogs and cats, my sister's dog, and my neighbors' pets. I used to have a roommate with a German Shepherd and would take him to the dog beach to play fetch. He could't handle asphalt due to achy joints and the sand was much more gentle. I just moved to the Big Island and live in Kona, so even if you are here for a short vacation and need someone to watch your pet, I'm close to downtown. I currently have a very open schedule, I am starting school online so I have a lot of availability. Although I cannot host your fur baby at my home, I can travel to yours. This is a great stress free way to housesit your pet because they get to stay in a familiar place they feel comfy. If you need your pup out of the house for a couple hours, I have an SUV and a clean CDL license to take your dog for a walk.

Safety, trust & environment
Keeping pets in their own home is the most comfortable for the animal I believe. I can’t replace you, but I can bond with play if that is your animal’s style, some petting and belly rubs, a preferred treat. You are the expert, I’ll use your suggestions as to what makes your pet the most comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Katlyn did an outstanding job with our kitties. She is a clear communicator and sent pics with updates. Highly recommend!
Katlyn was wonderful with our dog Winnie! You can tell she really loves animals, she made sure she had a thorough understanding of Winnie’s needs and did everything she could to make sure she was happy while we were away. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I would like to make pet care my full time job. I listen to what you need and work around that. Animals generally like their usual routines so I will keep to your schedule as possible. I do have an almost 2 year old, so I need a window mid day for nap time.

- Please let me know any aggressive triggers, or if they have dietary restrictions, when or how they prefer to do their “business”. Example: my pup is a shy pooper, I have to get him to bushes or he will wait. Any favorite toys, petting styles, what spooks them, any training to be maintained. Example: my dog needs to sit and wait before food then he gets the command to eat and he likes that structure.
