Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhouse with a family friendly neighborhood; I don’t have a fenced in yard, however, I do have a park that we can let them ran around. Your pet won’t be lonely in our home we have a fur baby ourselves, Nigel (west highland terrier). I would look after your fur baby like my own, walks three to four times a day, fed as often as needed, play time, love and compassion. Your fur baby is apart your family and will be cared for that way.

Information Kaitlin W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements, such as medication and or any special care instructions. I want to make sure I take care of your fur baby in the best way possible.

A typical day

I love to interact with the dogs; let them smell new smells on their walks, go to a dog park, let them meet new dogs for socializing needs, and play games to stimulate them. On hot days I’ll set up a splash pad, and I make homemade dog treats (with owners permission of course)!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was 15. Neighbors, friends, family have all relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their fur babies. I’m an animal lover who used to be a jr. Naturalist; I love all animals.

I live in NJ but my doggy and I visit our family in Arlington Heights often. I have used Katie countless times to walk my dog, Clutch. She is kind, caring , reliable and trustworthy. We highly recommend her services, you won’t be disappointed!

Finding a truly dedicated pet sitter/walker is rare—but Kaitlin is one of a kind! I have known Katie for over 20 years and her love and dedication to animals has always been remarkable. In highschool, she watched our family yorkiepoo for us while we went on vacation. Years ago, she watched our family minpin for us. She raised her own Westie for 13 years, ensuring it was well cared for and truly part of the family. Currently, Katie is raising an 8-month-old Westie, Nigel. Anyone who entrusts their furry companion to Katie, can be sure their pet will receive the same devotion and attention that she's always given her own.
