Pet care experience
To me, your pet is my client and I want to give them the best possible experience - whether you're out of town, having a long shift at work, or just need some extra help! Since you know them best, I rely on you to inform me of their normal routine so I can give them loving care as similarly as I can to when you're there with them. I am fully invested in providing unsurpassed care, at an affordable price for you and your fur-baby. My goal is to give you peace of mind and for you to have a reliable care-giver you can count on time and time again! I am familiar with the desire to find great pet care from a loving sitter based on my experience with my pups and would love the opportunity to provide superior attentiveness to your pet 🐾 I originally started pet-sitting for neighbors and my mom's friends while I was growing up. I have always been a huge animal lover and yearned for a dog my entire childhood. Once I moved away and had my own apartment, I rescued a Jack Russell Terrier named Sadie (in my profile picture). She passed away in January 2020 and it was a loss I thought I'd never recover from. She had many behavioral issues and I learned a lot about dog behavior from her. As a way of coping with my grief, I signed up for Rover and have been loving people's pets ever since! (I have also since then rescued another dog, a dachshund/terrier mix named Cece 😊) I also have personal experience with large dogs, as my boyfriend had a 100+ pound German Shepherd and many of my close friends have pitbulls.
Reviews
Katie was awesome per usual!
Katie and Tyler were phenomenal! First off, our dog had a blast! I’m pretty sure he was a little disappointed when we came to pick him up! Katie was quick to respond and sent plenty of pictures and videos. They made our trip to Savannah so much better since we knew our pup was in good hands. I 100% recommend Katie to anyone needing any service for their dog. Thanks for treating him like one of your own, Katie!
Katie was a wonderful cat sitter! She really came through for us when we were having some unexpected issues and went out of her way to make sure everything was taken care of. She took great care of our cat, and sent a lot of great pictures. I would recommend Katie for her excellent communication and overall great demeanor! Thank you for everything Katie :)
My anxious dog warmed up quickly to Katie, I would recommend her for walks!

Safety, trust & environment
During my past experience prior to and since joining Rover, I have gained a lot of experience administering various types of medication, from pills to eye drops and worked hard to create a calm, safe environment for pups who may need more rest and relaxation opposed to play time - although, we CERTAINLY get that in too!! 🧸⚽ I can say honestly and with 100% confidence I am able to accommodate whatever your pet needs!
Home
Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet
I absolutely adore all breeds of dogs. Before caring for your furry friend, I'd like to know any specifics you have on feeding times and amounts, typical activities for your dog in a day, and what treats they are allowed to have! I want their visit to be as stress-free as possible and will work to keep their routine as close to their normal day and night care.
A typical day
I love to stay active on walks! You can expect lots of belly rubs and full body scratchies. I follow the training philosophies of National Geographic's "The Dog Whisperer" so I believe the best priorities for pups are 1.) exercise, 2.) discipline/leadership and 3.) affection.

Availability
I work from home, allowing for me to invest full-time attention to your pet. I also limit my clients and availability to ensure I can provide quality care and attention to my confirmed bookings 💕 This also helps me make sure I'm not stretched too thin and so that I can be consistently available for you and your pets needs! BOARDING/DAY CARE: I specialize in care for elderly dogs and at this time, do not board or offer day care services for any puppies or dogs that are not house broken. 🏡 I recently purchased a home and have a fenced in yard. I also have several cameras in the front and backyard and your dog will ALWAYS be supervised by me if outside. Additionally, the upstairs of the house is blocked off with a secured baby gate so your pet would not have to deal with stairs. I have cared for blind dogs, dogs with Sundowners, and dogs on various medications. HOUSE SITTING **PLEASE READ PRIOR TO BOOKING** At this time, I DO NOT offer overnight sitting due to the fact that I work full-time, have several repeat walk clients on a daily basis, and have my own pets! This is ONLY available to previous clients. My house-sitting booking option is the best way to book multiple visits over several days as it is a discounted rate from drop-in visits. The maximum number of drop-in visits I can do with house sitting is three 30-45 minute visits per day. I am available to help with hotel room and vacation pet-sitting at an hourly rate of $18.00. DROP-IN VISITS/DOG WALKS: My number one goal during my visits is to maximize every moment I am with your pet. I know that when I'm doing a drop-in visit or dog walk that they are probably going to be alone for a bit after I leave and before you return to them. I always try to incorporate some type of exercise during my visit so they are tired out and can nap before you come back. Walks are definitely my favorite form of exercise! I am also not your average kitty sitter 😻 I love knowing what their favorite toys are and if they are more on the affectionate side, I will give them all the lovin' and pets. Cleaning the litter box and feeding your cat is only a small percentage of my visit. I *always* spend quality time playing with toys and laser pointers or just hanging out and giving them love and affection. Even if your cat isn't the most social creature, they will still get a high-quality visit with me! Look no further than my past reviews, where I've had many clients comment on their kitty warm up to me ❤ It's a great feeling!
