I''m currently a full time, freelance musician based in Dennistoun, Glasgow. I sing and play keys in my wedding band, as well as a soloist, playing weddings, events, functions, bars, pubs, restaurants and care homes all over Scotland. This mainly takes place during the weekends, mostly the evenings. However, I can also have daytime and weekday gigs, although not as regularly. I mostly have availability during the week/weekdays. However, I do also have weekend availability from the morning to the afternoon.

Safety, trust & environment

I wouldn't be able to look after any pets in my home as my landlord is allergic. However, in the pet owner's home, I will always ensure safety, care and the wellbeing of the pets are maintained. I will always adhere to the owner's instructions and ensure the utmost care is taken. I always show respect towards the owner's requests and will only do what I am asked to do. The wellbeing of the animals are hugely important to me and I always strive to maintain this.

Information Kathryn W. would like to know about your pet

I'm comfortable with most dogs and cats. However, I haven't had as much experience with pets with disabilities or extreme health issues, so I'd need to have as much information and instructions as possible so I know what I'd need to do.

A typical day

I usually take dogs out on long walks, depending on the size and age of dog, it'll be somewhere with big wide open spaces, lots of places to run about in and explore, throwing a ball or sticks, letting them run around and burn off some energy. Or if it's a smaller dog, taking them on a relaxing walk around the park and giving them the opportunity to exercise and explore the area. If it's a cat, I'd play with them using cat toys and giving them lots of cuddles.

Kind, caring individual with big love for animals

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Katie and I'm currently a full time, freelance musician based in Dennistoun, Glasgow. I am also an avid outdoors enthusiast and love being outside in nature. Most importantly, I am hugely passionate about animals and their care and welfare. Ever since I was young, my family had pets-mostly cats, but we also had a dog at one point and some goldfish. From a very young age, I've had experience of caring for and taking care of animals. Over the years, I have also looked after and cared for pets within my family and my partner's family, when they have been on holiday; this has included cats, chihuahuas, a hamster and a Border Collie. I often take my Mum's dog out for walks and will also care for him when she is needing help. I have extensive experience in dog walking, as well as in general animal care and welfare, but I've also had some experience in administering medication, grooming and cleaning etc. Mostly, I just love looking after pets, it brings me a lot of joy, happiness and contenment.

Great communication with very prompt replies in what was a very short notice booking. Followed instructions to the letter. Would book again.

Chip has been out with Katie 3 times now and has had a great time :) she’s been very speedy at getting back to my last-minute and very unorganised requests!

Kathryn accepted last minute and was great at explaining the process to me as it was my first time using Rover! Great updates from their walk and a tired little dog :)
