I’m the best dog mom - ask Rosie!!

Pet care experience

I love pets and have years of experience as a dog owner and pet sitter. This is less of a job to me and more of a wonderful experience to meet new dogs and to play with them! I have flexible work hours and consistent reliability. I know that being away from your dog or puppy is stressful and not ideal. My goal is to lessen your anxiety and to care for your dog as if it was my own. I will give you feedback about your pup & will send you texts and plenty of puppy pictures upon request. I am big into puppy snuggles, belly rubs, and ear scratches and am a very active person so walks happen at least twice a day if not more! Rosie and Penny, my baby dogs, love other dogs, to go on walks, and to play outside. We know all the best dog parks. I have had Rosie since she was 6 weeks old and raised and trained her completely by myself. She’s my best friend (the love of my life, I like to say). Penny is our newest addition. We got her when she was eight weeks old, and she has been a handful, but Rosie has trained her well. Rosie is the boss, and Penny is my snuggle bug. We are quite the pack!! I have also had dogs since I was born and growing up - & all of my brothers and sisters have dogs. We are a dog family, for sure. I just quit my job as a corporate lawyer for 10 years to pursue things I love. I now work from home, and since I know I love dogs, I’m excited to be here to help other dog owners as well! I make my own schedule, so my pups get long walks 3-4 times a day and we always visit a dog park or two! To say my house is dog friendly is an understatement - it’s their world, and I’m just living in it! All dogs are welcome here.

Yeah Katie did such an amazing job with my dog! She kept me posted the entire time I was gone with pictures and videos. Definitely will be using her in the future!

Katie was amazing. We felt completely comfortable leaving our high-energy boy in her capable hands. She kept in touch throughout his stay, had no problem giving him medication and encouraged us to relax and enjoy ourselves, knowing he was being well taken care of! We would absolutely recommend her, and will be booking her again next winter! The only downside is Spenser missing his new friend Rosie❤️.

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

First thing, I need to know if your dog gets along with labs - of two very different ages. Rosie is older and slower, and Penny is young and very excited / playful. We need to know if your pups can eat together or separate (and when / what they eat). We need to know if they get treats!! We also need to know if they are good on-leash and/or off & at dog parks w all types of dogs. Basically, we need to know their personality and quirks!

A typical day

We wake up early every morning, and I feed my dogs “breakfast” first thing before we go for a walk to one of the dog parks nearby. We play around noon & then they’re ready for another walk around 3-4. We do another playtime in the evening as well.

I care for my pets everyday! My weekly routine is centered around catering to their needs because they are my babies! I’m lucky to be able to have the flexibility to make that happen.
