Your pets, my passion

Pet care experience

I do my best to make myself available whenever needed. I am reliable, trustworthy, and honest. I have been on Rover for roughly 3 years and have been working with animals closely for 10. I have been a full-time pet-sitter for 2 years, starting my own business, Snoots and Sploots Pet Care LLC, in June of 2022. I grew up with three dogs and have cared for family and friends' dogs, cats, small animals, and exotics while they were out of town. I have cared for a wide range of personalities and ages. I have also previously volunteered for five years with the Tri-County Humane Society. I obtained my bachelor's degree in Anthrozoology, the study of human and animal interaction, in 2020. I did hands-on training in basic obedience and working dog tasks. I also learned to read animal behavior and promote animal welfare. I worked at a barn as a farm hand, working closely with horses. I then worked as a veterinary assistant at a local pet hospital and boarding facility, working with exotic and common household pets, administering medication, helping with basic exams, and caring for a variety of animals and personalities. I always want to advanced my knowledge and skills, and take new online courses to do so. I have a certificate in Pet First Aid and CPR, and Low Stress Handling.

Katy is incredible. Her visits bring me so much peace of mind when I’m away from my babies!

Katy is the best! I’m a repeat client and will definitely reach out to her first anytime I need someone to look after my cats. My cats trust her, I can tell by her comments in her Rover card after the visits. She tells me things that my cats do and I can picture it as I’m reading what she wrote. It’s comforting to know that my cats are in good hands when I’m gone. She is never late and always stays the full amount of time. I can’t recommend Katy enough!

Katy did a fantastic job taking care of my cats! I looked forward to the Rover cards and the beautiful photos she took. If I need a cat sitter, I’ll be sure to try to book Katy.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to follow your pets usual routine as closely as possible. I work slowly with scared or anxious animals to ensure they don't feel overwhelmed with my presence. I make sure your pets are played with, given cuddles, or simply entertained - and will make sure their needs are taken care of while you are away.

Information Katy W. would like to know about your pet

Any breed, age, size, and personality is welcome. I would like to know any basics of your pet's personality (if they are shy around new people, if they are friendly with other animals, eating habits, separation anxiety, or if they are possessive over anything). Also, any rules that you have set for your pet, like whether they are allowed on furniture, not allowed in certain rooms, etc.

A typical day

I bring liver and churro treats with to my visits for those that can have them. I'm willing to break a sweat to play with your pet. I'm known to have some nice conversations with them too apparently.
