I will love your pup like my own!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Kat and I am 31 years old. I started Rover in 2012 when I was in college and at the time I was #1 in Astoria! I am now a nurse but still love to go for long walks and I’d love to bring your little babies with me! I am very friendly and responsible. I have a caring nature and try to keep my clients as updated as possible so that they have the peace of mind that their pup is having their own amazing adventure. If you would like me to care for your pet I am very flexible and super friendly! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs as long as I can remember! I have always been drawn to them and never been scared. My family had a toy poodle named Jazzy for 14 years and she was my best friend! Since then, I have pet sat for countless breeds and personalities. One of my clients needed to be rehomed and SURPRISE! He’s now rehomed with me and I am his mommy! I am a lover of all dogs!

Kat was great! She sent us photos of our sweet puppy during the walk and was super communicative. We really appreciated her professionalism and promptness!

Kat was so sweet and great with our girls. She sent updates along with pictures, and stayed a little extra to give the girls some love. Would highly recommend her for pet sitting in Astoria!!

Information Kat D. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences, all breeds are loved in my heart! However, as per agreement with my landlord, I am only able to accommodate small/medium sized dogs.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I walk every morning around my neighborhood, which is a very safe, family friendly area with that beautiful Queens charm. I also live within walking distance to Dutch Kills Park and Socrates Sculpture Park. I like to take the pups to Dutch Kills Park because it has a large, closed off hockey rink where they allow animals to run and play along with other neighborhood dogs. Socrates Sculpture Park is my other park alternative. It has an open space for pups to be off leash in the mornings and it has a beautiful view of the East River and the Manhattan skyline. Because I am a recent grad, dog sitting has become my full-time job and I will be home everyday to walk your pup 3-4 times per day as well as allowing them backyard potty breaks in between. Your dog's sleeping arrangement I have a spacious open living room in which a comfy, fresh, clean dog bed can be provided for their comfort. If, however they prefer some company when they sleep they are more than welcome to sleep in my room! Your pup is really allowed to sleep wherever they want! Time I'll spend with your dog Hours! Because I am a recent grad and this is my full-time job, I am home most of the time and I have all the time in the world hanging out with your pup while we exercise, play, and watch TV on the couch.
