Outgoing College-Grad Park Lover

Pet care experience

I've been walking dogs for the past two years in Boston but it's time to come back to the city I lived in for years before... NYC! I've had dogs for my entire life, and my dog is a friendly Labrador/Hound mix named Nugget! Nugget and spend a lot of time in our local parks! Rain, snow, hail, I will go out to make the dogs in my care happy. I became a sitter because I love playing with dogs and providing great care while their families are away. I know how hard it is to find a sitter you can trust, I know I've had that struggle when trying to find someone to look after Nugget. I treat all dogs in my care like my own and can't wait to meet your pup! I used to work at the Museum of Natural History, BBC, Tumblr and College Humor but needed to get out and be outside of the office for a while. I can't think of any better way to spend time than looking after dogs.

We could not love Kate more! She loves our pup Ellie and takes tremendous care of her. Kate made sure ellie was tired and happy when she came home. She kept us updated on her adventures with Ellie and helped us stick to Ellie's training too! I no longer feel bad leaving Ellie when I go to work because I know she will have an amazing time with Kate. We are so glad to have found Kate (and Nugget)!

Kate is AMAZING! My dog walker pulled an MIA and I contacted Kate at 6am asking if she'd be available to walk coco. She was fast, communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. In couldn't have asked for me and highly recommend her!

Kate is warm, friendly and responsible. Last week, she took my 1-year-old pitbull mix to the park for an hour of playtime while I started a new job. Meadow was a happy, tired pup after these sessions, and I was happy to receive updates and pictures while she was out with Kate. Looking forward to scheduling her again!

Kate is amazing! She come over for a Meet & Greet the week before I needed a walker. Cheerio took to Kate RIGHT AWAY. You just know when someone loves dogs and both Cheerio and I got that feeling about Kate immediately. We went for a nice walk around the neighborhood, and Cheerio loved every second of it. Kate walked Cheerio for me the following Wednesday, and I got a sweet text from her later that day with an update. I would 100% book Kate to walk and/or take care of Cheerio again, in a heartbeat -- I think she's awesome!
