About Katie W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
You should know: because I live alone, my dog Teddy comes along on my overnight dog sitting bookings. He is very chill, respectful and easy tempered and I have never had a problem having him in other homes! At my place, I definitely let the pets rule the home and enjoy snoozing on the bed and couch. I do not have a fenced yard, so we will always be on leash for potty breaks in the back courtyard area or full walks. I typically do not do off leash dog parks until I have established trust with your dog, and feel strongly about strict safety rules for females in heat. In your home, I’ll defer to your rules!

Information Katie W. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know your pet's care needs and preferences. How often are they used to going potty? How do they react to other animals? Do they need to burn lots of energy or just go for a leisurely sniff?
A typical day
When visiting my home, your pet will hang out with my dog Teddy. He is very easygoing and respectful of other pets, typically giving them lots of space and occasionally playing. I love to take dogs to parks, scenic walks, and dog friendly restaurants and businesses. At home, lots of snuggles will be provided.

Pet care experience
Certified helicopter dog mom here who will dote on your pet! I've had dogs for the past 16 years, spent time volunteering for endless adoption events and shelter visits, and am Red Cross certified in pet first aid and CPR. Seven years of pro pet care has allowed me to care for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments and ages, from 5lb to 100lb, from babies to seniors. I've also been trusted with many cats and even rats, bunnies and a lizard! I'm always easy to reach and and can't resist a cute pet selfie, so you will get plenty of photo updates of your dog's stay with me! I have a super flexible schedule so feel free to reach out!
Reviews
Katie was communicative and provided a thorough post-walk report. I felt confident hiring her after she asked a lot of great questions during our meet and greet and was focused on having my pup get comfortable with her.
Katie jumped in to help last minute and was excellent! She sent great photos and detailed notes about our two cats.
Katie was so great with our cats. Updates were thoughtful and it was clear our cat were well cared for and had fun. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!
Katie was fantastic! She came through in a pinch responding quickly to a last minute request and squeezing us in 3 days in a row. My pup is often unsure of new people but loved Katie immediately. Highly recommend! Thanks Katie!
