I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule so I’m able to do a mid day walks or check ins! Evenings and weekends are flexible for me. Happy to stay with your fur babies at your home and spend the day with them while I work :) I am completely open during the holidays and would love to spend time with your pets!

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

Though I am used to larger higher energy breeds, I am quite small and for my (and you dogs!) safety I’d be more comfortable working with smaller dogs.

A typical day

I love to come up with fun activities to keep your pets entertained! I’m also more than happy to take them on fun adventures or just relax at home :) whatever your pets need!

Experienced and loving pet sitter!

Pet care experience

I’ve been watching neighbors pets since I was in middle school, walking both puppies and adult dogs! I currently have one 2 year old lab mix and a senior cat :) Ive owned/lived with various breeds, but would prefer to care for smaller dogs! I’m comfortable and familiar with walking multiple dogs and have experience with puppy training and medication administration (shots, drops, pills, etc). Happy to answer any questions!

Katie was an amazing cat sitter! She stayed with our cat for four days and was so sweet with her. She took great care of the house as well. Katie updated us multiple times a day and kept us reassured that our elderly (and finicky) cat was eating and taking her medications. We would definitely book her again!
