Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of family dogs since I was 11. I have three french bulldogs of my own and have fostered other dogs. I’ve raised one of my dogs since he was a puppy and the other two are rescues which come with their own needs and quirks. I have experience giving dogs medication as well as working with older dogs.
Reviews
Katie looked after our two spaniels while we were at a friend’s wedding. Katie was great at communicating with quick responses from the initial booking stage, meet and greets and on the day itself. We had never had anyone other than our parents look after our two dogs before (who are both rescues and wouldn’t cope in a kennels or a busy setting with lots of other dogs) but we felt confident leaving them with Katie and have booked Katie again for our own wedding.
My two dogs have been very well cared for by Katie. One is very anxious so we were particularly worried about leaving him but she treated them with kindness and patience and also updated us regularly putting our minds at ease. Thank you Katie, we will definitely use you again future! Xxxx
Lucy wasn't the easiest dog to look after due to just having an operation but Katie followed our instructions and treated our house in a respectful manner. Would recommend and would use Katie again.
Katie was absolutely fantastic. Not only did she take great care of our dog, she offered to and did water the plants. Our home was left immaculate. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
I am used to walking dogs and keeping them company. I have dog seat belts in my car if required for vet visits or further afield walks. I can tailor your service to how your dogs enjoy being. For more laid back dogs i’ve taken them out with me to meet friends at a cafe, for dogs that don’t enjoy this, cuddles on the sofa are also good!
Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your pets likes and dislikes. For example, if your dog prefers shorter walks or longer walks. Do they prefer belly rubs or their own personal space? How well do they walk on a lead? Are they particularly reactive around cats, other dogs or squirrels?
A typical day
I love playing games with the dogs. We can play tug of war or fetch. Happy to walk over fields if that is your dog’s favourite. We like walking in Frampton on Severn or over Painswick Beacon.

Availability
My day job means I can work from home so as long as you have wifi I can be with your pets during the day. For longer stays if I need to go into the office I have my partner who lends a hand. He also comes in useful if you have a whole pack of dogs that need walking!
