Your dogs best friend

Hi! I’m Katlynn (Katie), and anyone who knows me knows my heart belongs to animals. I truly believe pets are family, and there is nothing more rewarding than making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away. I’m the proud dog mom of two wonderful girls: Sophie, my sweet 12 year old American Eskimo, and Bella Skye, my fun, loving 8 year old Chihuahua/Whippet mix. Sophie is calm, gentle, and incredibly loving, while Bella is playful, social, and always ready to make a new friend. Together they’ve helped me care for countless dogs over the years, and they’re wonderful companions for visiting pups. Originally from the Boston area, I relocated to Florida after Covid to be closer to my parents. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up surrounded by dogs. Caring for them has never felt like work—it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’ve been pet sitting for over 15 years, and every dog I’ve cared for has been treated like one of my own. Whether your pup enjoys relaxing on the couch, playing fetch, going on adventures, or getting lots of cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of love. My dogs are very social and are used to meeting new friends through Rover and the dog park. Sophie helps shy dogs feel comfortable with her calm personality, while Bella loves to play if your dog enjoys having a playmate. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. We enjoy daily walks, outdoor playtime, nature walks, and trips to the dog park (if approved by you). I also know how important peace of mind is while you’re away, so I send daily photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—including senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. Since Sophie is now a senior herself, I understand how important it is to follow medication schedules, respect slower routines, and provide gentle, attentive care. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel as comfortable, loved, and cared for as they do at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own because that’s exactly how I would want someone to care for mine. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member 🐾🩷

Katie is a true dog lover who cares deeply for her own two dogs as well as those dogs that she takes care of under her watch. She's been both a dog-walker and a dog-sitter for us and we've been extremely happy with her and have hired her on multiple occasions. Highly recommend!

I have known Katie for a few years now and am happy to recommend her for petsitting your beloved furry babies. :) During the time that I've known her, I have been able to see how she interacts with several dogs that she has had to pet-sit, as well as with her own two dogs. She is capable and confident in dealing with the dogs, and does well helping them integrate and interact with each other. She actively plays with and engages the dogs in her care, and she exercises the dogs daily, making sure they get outside for walks. She pays attention to the dogs' cues and behavior, which to me shows that she is not just looking at them as "her job", but that she is attentively wanting to make sure they are happy, well adjusted, and that they are living their best lives. She's gone above and beyond her responsibilities, taking on extra dogs or extending dog visit times to assist her clients. And aside from that, she is a friendly, lovely person to deal with!

I found Katie through a friend two years ago when we got Maya, our malamute, and since then Katie has been Maya’s godmother !! She was always there when we needed her, day, evening, night .. she is a life savor ! She is awesome with dealing with dogs , very loving and caring and compassionate towards them , she plays, she runs with them , even taught Maya how to play tag !!!!! I have seen her with different dogs through friends , and she is just so loving with all.. the second our dog hears a car door slams outside she runs to the front door like crazy to see if its Karie ! Then if she was , she would just lay down on the floor and Katie would give a belly rub for long 15 min !!!!! I wish that Katie did not have to move far from us and that she stayed close by, she became family !

Katlynn is fantastic with dogs and it’s apparent when she’s around them just from the way they act with her. My dog loved spending time with her and she sends plenty of pictures and updates of him going on walks and being taken care of. Any dog owner knows it’s not easy leaving them in the care of someone else but I had complete ease of mind when my dog was staying with her. She’s warm, enthusiastic, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs and goes above and beyond while looking after them. I will definitely be using her services again next time they’re needed because she makes the whole process stress free and looks after any dog as if they’re her own. I can’t recommend her enough! Thanks Katlynn

Katlynn is extremely reliable and responsible. She has a kind heart and passion for animals. She takes the time to get to know each animal individually and loves them as they are her own. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.
