About: While I haven't owned a dog in years, I've cared for many family members. I'm comfortable around large and small dogs. Most of my dog experience has been with pitbulls and chihuahuas. This includes walkings, feedings, bathing, and play. I am comfortable giving medicine although most of my experience with that has been with cats. I'm eager to work with you and your dog! I'm currently job hunting and have a lot of time to care for your pet(s). For now, my schedule is entirely open and shall be updated should anything change. Your home, your rules. If you want a certain amount of playtime, I'll be sure it happens. If you don't want them on the furniture, I'll keep them off of it, so on. Your pet will be safe with me and your house rules respected.
About: I’ve lived in a home with a large dog since I was 13. I adopted my first dog 2 years ago and in that time I’ve completely turned him around; he’s learned reliable recall, how to walk on a lead, and has mastered close to 30 tricks! I’ve also worked in exotic animal husbandry and spent time training exotics which helped me learn a lot of skills I can apply to dogs! I currently work full-time but the hours vary. I’m usually available in the afternoon-early evening (~12-5pm), and then after 8pm. I’m off every Saturday-Sunday so I have plenty of time to help care for anyone’s furry friends as needed! I’ll be sure to follow any specific safety instructions you leave. I’d be happy to take your dog out and for as many walks as you and they desire. They won’t be let off the leash unless specifically mentioned that it’s safe to do so, and I’ll use any and all safety equipment that you like (harness, prong collar etc). I feel comfortable crating dogs when left alone if that is preferred.

“Katelyn is absolutely amazing! She’s watched my cats a couple of times, and has gone above and beyond. One of my cats is diabetic and she gives him his shots on time and sends me cute videos of them interacting with her when I’m gone. I will 100% be using her again and again 🩷 I can’t recommend her enough.”
