Information Katherine B. would like to know about your pet
All manner of info you can give me, please. What they need, what they like, what they don’t like. How best to care for them. Thank you in advance!
A typical day
Walks, cuddles, park, frisbees and balls (if they are so inclined). I also have a big backyard, soon to be filled with vegetables. I do my best to try to be on the level with whomever animal I am with - reading them and giving them what they need. And always kind and soft-spoken.

Pet care experience
About me! Have had my cat Bo for 18 years, and also two Maine Coons. Rescued an 11-year-old golden retriever in 2017. Have dog sat / cat sat / dog walked for family and friends for years, most recently a Rhodesian ridgeback and golden/lab mix in the West Village, and a husky/cattle dog and a chihuahua/Jack russell mix - both in Bushwick. I am reliable, friendly and easy going. I go the extra mile - not just in this but all things. I’ll do whatever in my power to care for your baby and make you feel comfortable. I get it - I’ve used this service. You want to know that the person is doing their part when and how they say, and that your dog/cat is in good hands. I’m also ok w messy jobs. I’ve cleaned up after my sisters bulldog/terrier mix Bonnie when she’s pooped all over the house Bc her stomach was upset :/ From Las Vegas/California, college educated (BA in journalism / polysci). I’m an actor, writer & remote worker.

Reviews
Katie has ample experience taking care of both dogs and cats. She has been a daily dog walker for years and has dog sat mine several times. She is a absolutely wonderful with him and have seen my dog as well as others go absolutely nuts when she shows up to taking them out for a walk. Chase was a dog in particular who she walked daily for years, so much so that I got to meet him more than once and even his owner would say that Katie's walk was the highlight of his day. These were very long walks where they would run and go to the park. Very active and thorough walks. She has has also helped me dogsit in the west village several times. The dogs in question are very big, including a Rhodesian Ridgeback and she can handle them like a champ. She is not someone that's afraid of handling animals, a tough cookie, the honey badger of dog walkers.
Katie is an enthuastic animal lover. The type that borders on semi-annoying and sometimes awkward. I would score her as follows: 7/10 for human interaction, 10/10 for the little buddies.
Katie is a unique individual because she cares more about animals than she does about people. She can be selfless. loving and giving, but can also be stubborn when it comes to schedules, eating and training. It's always difficult leaving your animal, but at least you know that if Katie is at the helm, those furry creatures are in for a vacation of their own.
