Availability
Any animal in my care is never left without appropriate care, exercise and enrichment. I am available before and after work, and weekend care is flexible depending on your pet’s needs. I have my own puppy at home - a 8 month old Border Collie named Lyla! She adores other dogs and would be very excited to say hello and have a little play together

Safety, trust & environment
Each dog is different and has different sensitivities or anxieties, building a trusting relationship and understanding of the animal is a key priority. If walking your dog, I have a 15m training line that I would prefer to keep attached to your dog until I am confident in their recall, both for their own safety and the safety of others. My own puppy, Lyla, can be very excitable and sometimes is a bit much for other dogs. She is always kept on a training line around other dogs until they have developed an understanding of each other. If your dog is showing signs of being uncomfortable with Lyla around, she is well crate trained and so can be kept separate from/walked separately to any other dog that is in my care.

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet(s) have any special requirements, I am more than happy to accommodate! I have cared for reactive, anxious and fearful animals of all sizes in the past so please let me know if your pet has any sensitivities I should be aware of, as well as any tips or tricks you have to help them manage this. No one knows your pet better than you do 🙂
A typical day
Having a border collie puppy at home, I am well aware of the varied activities then some pets need to be fulfilled! I have plenty of fun toys on hand, suitable for indoor, outdoor, independent and interactive play and always have a chew, lickimat or puzzle toy on hand for when it’s time to wind-down. I am more than happy to provide plenty of photos and videos of your gorgeous pup throughout their time with me. I take Lyla for a hike every other weekend - as long as the weather is safe for this - and would be more than happy to bring your dog along with us if you wish.

Animal Behaviour Graduate with DBS
Pet care experience
I have a BSc (Hons) in Animal Behaviour and Welfare and have trained and raised well behaved puppies and kittens. I have taken care of dogs and cats over the last 12 years (as well as the occasional lemur or capybara!), as well as taking care of my own animals. I currently work in the care sector and so have a clear enhanced DBS certificate which I am able to display on request.

Katie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
I've left my 1 year old Lab with Katie multiple times, she is absolutely amazing with him. She really puts her time, knowledge and attention into taking care of him whether it's through snuggles, enrichment activities or a vigorous walk to burn his energy. It's got to the point my boy has even learnt Kate's name! I wouldn't trust anyone else, especially as Katie has animals herself and has worked closely with animals.. she has a special understanding of their welfare and needs.
