Dog Day Afternoon

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs all my life. Most recently I fostered a senior dog and 6 years ago I adopted my senior pup Eddie who recently passed away at 16. I have experience with puppies and all kinds of dog breeds. Having used Rover I know what it’s like to be worried about leaving your dog behind. I’m a major dog lover and will take great care of your pup! I live in a house with a fenced in yard and know of lots of areas for walks and fun. I recently adopted a lab/shepherd mix puppy named Finn! He loves to play! I work for a children’s nonprofit from home so I’ll be able to spend lots of time with your pup. Feel free to ask me any questions!

Katie is so sweet! She was great with Maverick, an older dog with recent knee surgery (~6wks). She placed several rugs down in her living room to prevent him from slipping during his recovery - which was incredibly appreciated. She has a super friendly dog Finn who provided great company as well 🫶🏼 highly recommend Katie’s services and I will be reaching out to her again in the future!

Katie and Finn quickly became favorites for my dog, Storm. This was her first overnight stay and I'll be looking up Katie again in the future to care for my little lady.

Katie was absolutely terrific! She kept us updated on how Hank’s visit was going every day and sent plenty of pictures. She asked lots of questions so she knew how to best care for Hank, which I appreciated very much! We would gladly use Katie as a sitter again in the future!!

Katie was so kind to keep Hank for an overnight stay! She was happy to ask questions about him and anything she needed to know to help make him feel comfortable during his time with her. We loved the pictures and updates she provided, which made us feel good about leaving him with her! We already have our next stay booked with Katie & her sweet pup, Finn. :)

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. I have a lot of experience administering pet medications and senior care. Would love to know ahead if your dog is a chewer so I can make sure they have lots of chewable items to play with!

A typical day

I love exploring outside so I’m happy to take lots of walks. I also have an enclosed backyard so we can lounge outside and enjoy some fresh air!
