Katie loves our dogs as if they were her own! She is very good at taking them for walks whenever we need help, and the dogs love her. We've also had her watch our three dogs while we've gone out of town, and she did an excellent job, especially with our epilepsy dog, who needs to take a lot of medications at an exact time each day. We will use her again!

Katie is a very nice person and very reliable. I have seen her around so many dog and she was always calm and treated them with care and kindness. Katie makes sure dogs are fed with the right amounts. She also makes sure they get enough social interactions. Moreover, Katie loves taking the dogs on walks because she is a walker. Katie has a special aura where dogs feel comfortable around her.

I cannot recommend Katie enough for pet sitting services! She has taken care of my cat (Teddy) a number times while I was traveling, and she treated him like her own and sent very prompt and descriptive updates. I used to be a dog-walker on Rover myself, so I know what to look for in a pet sitter, and Katie exceeded all my expectations. She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and has a natural way with all the animals in her life.

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely vigilant when it comes to pet safety- this is my number one priority when I'm caring for them. When we are on walks, I am very careful to avoid hazards such as cars, other animals, etc. When we're at your house, I will supervise the animal closely and work with any unique features of your home to keep the pet safe (for example, if the yard is not fenced, I will work accordingly to provide extra supervision). I will ALWAYS treat your pet with kindness and love. I will always be gentle and kind to your pet and make their safety my top priority.

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate special needs that pets might have. I have experience working with anxious dogs, dogs with a tough past, and dogs with special health needs (I have extensive experience caring for a dog with epilepsy).

A typical day

I am happy to provide any level of activity and attention for pets. Walks, games, running around the yard- your pet's safety, health, and happiness will be my first priority when they're with me.
