About Katlyn S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment complex but I will gladly take your dog to the dog park (if ok) and/or walk around the neighborhood where you feel most comfortable. I will treat your pet with the utmost care and love. And I’ll always make sure you’re comfortable with our plans beforehand. If I’m allowed to give big treats, I will definitely supervise the entire time. Basically, I’ll treat your baby like my human baby and we’ll all have a blast!

Information Katlyn S. would like to know about your pet
Will they be okay around a calm toddler? (My toddler has grown up with dogs & is super aware of dog’s space, and she has a cat that she loves) Does he/she have any allergies, special soothing methods/needs, or things I should look out for, what can I give him or her regarding treats and toys. Can we go to the beach? (While staying on leash) Are they happy to be around other animals? Any food aggression? Any special soothing measures? Anything “zany” to look out for? Can they do some zoomies at the dog park? Can they sit on the couch or bed? Do they require any special assistance or awareness of their specialized needs?
A typical day
We can play all day and learn new tricks or practice old ones, or just hang out, go for fun walks, & do what your dog feels most comfortable with. I love to walk the neighborhood in all directions. We can go wherever you most feel comfortable. I often walk up north a few miles staying on one way streets and it’s really beautiful this time of year. I will most definitely take your dog(s) to the coolest place they can handle (in regards to weather and their stamina) and make sure they have the best time regardless of what we do. Honestly, I’ll probably enjoy it more than they will. I’ll make sure to keep your dog(s) hydrated at all times, and treat-happy (in moderation & if allowed by owner). I’ll also gladly give your dog a bath (if both parties are okay with it) so they come back to you fluffed up and clean.

Pet care experience
**I have a lil animal loving 4 year old. She’s very chill with both cats & dogs, but just a disclaimer in case it’s an issue.** My friends always joke that I’ll cross the street just to pet a dog. I love animals, especially dogs. My mother is a dog trainer (specializing in bully breeds) so I’ve always had a bunch of pups around to play with and I learned a lot watching her interact with dogs. My dad was a dog lover as well so we always had at least three dogs. I’ve been a part of quite a few births (the black lab in my photo is from one of the litters, he’s my baby and I’ve raised him since birth.) I went cross country for college and when I came back home it only took me a few interactions to teach him tricks like, “paw” “roll-over” and my favorite “hang-ten” which is basically just an advanced “paw.” I promise you that I will treat your dog as well as you do (he/she might like you more though) but I’ll give your dog(s) all the love and care a pup deserves. Maximum playtime or we can hit the snooze button but I’ll make sure that your dog never feels blue. I also love cats and have been lucky to have had them around for my whole life, with my last sweet girl passing away two years ago. My heart can’t take getting another cat yet but I love being able to scratch behind some ears and get some pets in with so many lovely cats through Rover. I used to care for cats in shelters (still periodically volunteer) and having the keep them in their cages made me super sad beca use they are just tiny big cats and they need space to roam. I love the different and very distinct personalities of cats and I’m always down to hear or share a fun cat fact. I firmly believe that cat’s feet should be call “peets” because they are cute little paws/feet. I’d be absolute honored to care for any and all “little cats” 🦁 **I gladly welcome and love every animal! I regularly care for pets with special needs, including those requiring medication, medical monitoring, or extra behavioral support. To ensure the best care for your pet, please share any medical conditions, medications, or behavioral concerns before booking. Some pets may require extra attention or supervision, and this helps me plan their care so they are safe, comfortable, and happy. Thank you :)
