Pet care experience

Nurse by day, dog walker by day off

Hi! My name is Kat and I am 32 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 at MSK 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! Shoot me a message and help this girl hit her step goals on her days off! 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 really saved us in an awkward, urgent time. She took great care with the cats and was just generally a gem of a human being. You should give her your money, too!

Kat was great with Kyra, she sent photos and a short summary of the walk- super helpful for me! Will definitely use her service again in the future.

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.
