Availability
I currently work full time at home, which gives me the availability to do midday, morning or evening drop ins as scheduling allows! Please note that at this time, I am unable to commit to regular ongoing weekly dog walking or drop ins. I can only do specific scheduled dates due to schedule variability. I apologize for the inconvenience!

About Kate W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
While I can’t offer a stay at my own home, when at yours I can crate, exercise, play with toys or simply hang out to be a friendly face with anyone as needed! Ample attention and enrichment is key for any animal and I can definitely provide that!
Information Kate W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if they have any special needs (extra cuddle time or special medication) as well as any quirks they may have so I can give your pet the best experience possible!
A typical day
Dogs - I can walk around the neighborhood or check out the local dog park, play with toys or do cuddle time for the more relaxed pup! Cats - Each have their own personality, but I’m happy to just be a friendly presence for those who are anxious or bat around mouse shaped toys or feather wands for hours on end!

Pet care experience
ATTENTION: Due to changes in my full time role, I am no longer able to accommodate midday consistently throughout the week. We can take a look at dates as need, but I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause! However, I’m excited to meet all the amazing pets in the neighborhood and be their new favorite family member! I have been a sitter for dogs cats, rabbits, horses and various other animals throughout both full and part-time got the last decade, ranging for drop in visits to month long home stays. I've used Rover for for my own cats before, and I know how nice it is to get updates and pictures of how they’re adjusting while you're away - especially if you’re leaving them for the first time! I’ll do my best to alleviate any anxiety for you or your animal and help keep your mind focused on your trip. I've grown up with dogs and rabbits, usually having 3 at a time of all different ages and sizes, while also own my own cats currently! From poo to hairballs, I’m used to it all :) Please note: While I do my best to accommodate any requested time booked, I can only guarantee within a one hour window of the scheduled time. This is to allow for any delays that may occur or need to shift to best accommodate all pets.
Reviews

Kate and my cat get along swimmingly, which is a big accomplishment since my cat is not often friendly. She does a great job giving him attention, pets, brushing, playing games, etc. Kate is a definite friend of the felines!

Kate was a great drop-in sitter for my cat! She was very poignant, responsive, had no trouble giving my cat her oral medication, and sent lots of pics. Would definitely recommend her!

Amazing! Kona is a handful. V grateful for Kate 🙏🏻

Kate visited my house beforehand to get acquainted with Turbo and his meds. She showed up on time during the visits and sent lots of photos. Thank you Kate!
