Med student / lover of cats + dogs!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my entire life, and love caring for any type of dog, big or small. I am also an endurance runner, and would love to take dogs for runs in the neighborhood or just around the yard! I also adopted a cat last year, and have fallen in love! Would love to care for your kitties too. I am currently a medical student at TCOM in Fort Worth, and flexible with my schedule especially as summer is coming up. While I have never been apart of a dog sitting service before, I have worked as a babysitter for 8 years and that has included dog sitting while families are out of town or for one night. Look forward to chatting with you!

Katy was a huge help for our 2 month old puppy when we went out of town! She was very communicative and sent pictures of our puppy frequently. She also took great care of our home while we were away and even dripped our faucets during a freeze while we were gone. We would highly recommend using Katy!

Katy was great doing drop in visits with my kitty! She communicated well and gave me detailed updates each visit. I would use Katy again in the future!

Katy was great! I hade to travel out if town and it was a lot off my mind knowing that my dog was taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely have her do it again!

Katy walked my dog 4 times a week for over a month during a particularly busy time in my schedule. She was very reliable and built a great relationship with my dog. I will definitely reach out to her again if I ever need a dog sitter or walker!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very protective of my own animals, and will be equally caring for your dogs and cats! If you give me specific instructions, I will follow them precisely from feeding specific treats or making sure we avoid other dogs on walks!

Information Katy W. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any specifics about your dog - should we avoid other dogs on walks? would you like me to give your pet a treat or anything after the walk / before I leave? The more information, the better!

A typical day

As I mentioned, I am a runner and can take your dogs on longer walks even runs if you would like. I also enjoy playing with pets inside the home with toys.
