I'll love your dog like my family.
Pet care experience
I love how each dog has their own personality and traits and it's always interesting to meet new dogs. I also find dogs to be very loving and that’s what prompted me to work with Rover as a dog sitter. I used to work caring for pups as a bather at PetSmart and I have volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking and playing with pups and helping to clean their kennels. I found working with dogs and animals is my passion -- they take up such a huge part of my heart and I absolutely wouldn't have it any other way! I grew up with dogs and they have always been a big part of my life. I adopted Lily, a Pomeranian, and she is a huge part of my family! She's spunky and the thing that I love most about her is that her favorite toy is a huge stuffed dog that’s twice her size. I also adopted a cat, Sophie, and love how friendly or loving she can be at times, but independent at other times. I have owned hamsters and I currently have two guinea pigs named Cookie and Cotton. I love having these animals around because they are so adorable and purr when they are happy. Another thing I love about them is that they are really intelligent creatures. I would be happy to care for any of these animals, and when it comes to caring for pups, I don’t have any breed preferences. I love reading, hiking, and fishing in my free time and do it when the weather permits and as often as I can. Lily joins me on a lot of my adventures and I’m happy to bring your pup along as well! I consider myself to be compassionate, motivated, and reliable and I believe these traits make me a great person to care for animals. I’m excited about meeting all the new faces and making a lot of new friends by working with Rover.
Reviews
My dogs loved that Katherine stayed with them!! I loved all the daily updates and the pictures. It was so nice to travel knowing my dogs were in such great hands. We have definitely found our dog sitter!!
Katherine was very dependable and contacted me each day to let me know how things were going. The house was very neat and clean when I arrived home. I would highly recommend her for pet/house sitting.
Katie is great with our dog!!! Couldn’t be happier.
I was immediately impressed with Katie on our greet. She is very kind and her love for animals is obvious. We have used her twice and could not be happier.

Information Katherine W. would like to know about your pet
You can be confident that I will take good care of your pup while you are away and I strive to make sure everyone I work with -- from a furry friend to the owner -- is happy and satisfied with the care I provide. I don’t have any breed preferences, but I do like to know about what the dog’s exercise routine is like, what their favorite treats and toys are anything else about their unique personality that will help me provide the best possible care.
A typical day
I have a pretty flexible schedule, so it’s easy for me to make your dog my No. 1 priority. When I’m caring for your pup you can be assured that we’ll get plenty of steps in each day, whether we’re just strolling around the neighborhood, heading to the dog park for some social time with other pups at the Lincoln Park Dog Park in Aurora or taking in nature on a hike. Outside of our walks, there will also be plenty of playtime on our itinerary, from tug-of-war and fetch to playing with your dog’s favorite toy.
