Pet care experience

Your Pets’ New Favorite Sitter 🐾

Hi! I’m Kel, and I’m an experienced, dependable pet sitter who genuinely loves getting to know every animal’s unique personality. I’ve been caring for pets for family, friends, and clients since I was a teenager, and pet sitting has always been something I’ve found incredibly rewarding. I know that leaving your pets in someone else’s care can be stressful, so my goal is to make the experience as comfortable and worry free as possible—for both you and your pets. I’m attentive to routines, personalities, and individual needs, whether that means an energetic dog who needs plenty of playtime, a senior pet who prefers a slower pace, or a shy cat who needs a little extra patience to feel comfortable. I currently share my home with my cats, Rosemary, Cheezel, Wasabi, and my Great Pyrenees, Marsha.. They’ve taught me plenty about the joys, quirks, and occasional chaos that come with having pets! I’m responsible, patient, communicative, and attentive to detail. I’ll treat your pets, your home, and your instructions with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I can keep pets in the environment they know and feel comfortable in. I believe staying in their own space helps reduce stress, especially for cats who can be sensitive to changes in their surroundings. During each visit, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible. This can include feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, walks, and medication or other special needs as discussed. I’ll take the time to interact with your pet based on their personality—whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a quieter visit with some gentle companionship. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or anything else that seems unusual. If I notice something concerning, I’ll contact you promptly rather than assuming it’s normal. I’ll treat your home with care and respect, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Watched my dog and my my family's dogs several times. I have come back to my dog absolutely exhausted from playing so much. An extremely kind and thoughtful pet sitter and I would recommend to anyone who asks.

Katelyn is one of the best dog sitters that I have had in years. I have been having her sit my Husky Kristy for 3 years and I could go on for days about how well her and Kristy get along.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build pet care into my daily routine and give each visit the time and attention it deserves. I’m able to plan my day around scheduled drop-ins, walks, and house visits rather than rushing from one appointment to the next. I’m comfortable working with different routines and can follow your pet’s normal feeding, medication, play, and bathroom schedules as closely as possible. I understand that consistency is especially important , so I make an effort to keep their routine familiar while you’re away. I also make communication a priority and will keep you updated with messages and photos throughout my visits. My goal is to make caring for your pets a reliable part of my routine while giving you peace of mind that they’re getting the attention and care they need.

Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know anything that will help me keep them safe, comfortable, and happy, including: * Their normal feeding, bathroom, walking, and sleep routines * Any medications, medical conditions, allergies, or special care needs * Their personality, favorite activities, and things they dislike or are afraid of * How they behave around strangers, other animals, children, and unfamiliar situations * Any history of anxiety, aggression, resource guarding, escaping, or other behaviors I should be aware of * Their favorite toys, treats, and ways they like to be comforted * Any commands, routines, or house rules you’d like me to follow * What to do if they become sick, injured, frightened, or get loose * Your preferred method of communication and how often you’d like updates * Your veterinarian and emergency contact information * Where I can find food, supplies, cleaning products, leashes, carriers, medications, and anything else I may need during the visit I’d much rather have too much information than not enough! Every pet is different, and knowing their individual needs and quirks helps me provide the best possible care.
