Pet care experience
I have experience with large breeds! I have two dogs: a Yorkshire terrier and a Pitbull terrier. I have logged over 250 hours of walking/socializing/enriching dogs at the local animal shelter since March 2022! I’m incredibly passionate about animal welfare and have received specialized dog behavior training from certified Behaviorists. I am also on the foster team and will foster dogs when time allows.
Reviews
Thanks so much! You did amazing.
Katherine did an outstanding job taking our pup, Austin, for walks while we were in town for a family gathering.
This was our first time using Rover, or any pet-sitter, and Katherine made it worry-free! She took pics everyday and left a note on her last day. We will definitely be using her again!
Katherine was right on time and was great with our dog! She fed her some lunch and took her on a nice long walk around the neighborhood. 10/10 will be working with her again!
About Katherine W.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always let the dogs out first thing in the morning and give breakfast immediately after. My dogs are spoiled and get treats/chews/stuffed kongs throughout the day with potty breaks every 2-4 hours.
Information Katherine W. would like to know about your pet
I do have some experience with special-needs dogs during my time volunteering at the shelter. The most important thing is to have clear instructions written out as well as a meet and greet so that nothing is missed!
A typical day
I’m a huge believer in dog enrichment! Playing sniffing games, marking trails, down to letting your pup sniff anything/everything on the walk is so important for their mental stimulation! Not only that, but I’ve received training in dog behavior from the Behavior Department at the shelter I volunteer for. Are they dedicated retrievers? Avid wrestlers? Couch potatoes? I’m comfortable with anything that will get that doggie energy out in a safe and healthy manner.

Availability
I am a full-time nursing student and am fortunate enough to walk dogs when I am not studying! I have little restriction in my availability.
