Hello, I’m Kat! I’m a lifelong resident of both Brooklyn and the hearts of my family’s seven (7) dogs. At a beastly stature of 5’3”, I’ve taken command of training, walking, medicating, and raising dogs both over half my weight and under a fraction of it for years. Six-year-old dogs have become bilingual — barking and English — without any previous training because of my drive to communicate with pets and find a common ground with them. After losing my own 14-year-old Shih Tzu 3 years ago, I’ve been motivated to turn the love I’ve had for him into a drive to show unconditional care and patience to animals as a thanks to him for being his own fountain of affection even through his most difficult times. In terms of pre-Rover experience, I’ve house-sat for up to a week with a family friend’s three cats and still spend time with an aunt’s two dogs while she’s at work during the week not because I’m needed, but because I love being with them! Now, I’m with two years’ experience working professionally through Rover and through references from other clients! And, over those two yeara, I also got much more intimately familiar with handling cats, both through taking care of my senior cat Mimi before she passed, and through my two new young boys. So... Kat also loves cats! Very much! It is very nice to meet you. :)
