A dog lover and a cat expert!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m Katie and I absolutely love all animals! I'm an experienced cat care volunteer at a local rescue shelter, and I'm looking to make new dog friends in the neighborhood. I grew up with two small dogs and miss playing with goofballs like them. I have walked and cared for many of my friends' dogs as well as several regular clients in the past, especially before moving to NYC a couple years ago. I have two cats of my own, Loafy and Halla, and I also regularly foster kittens at home. I have a lot of experience medicating and caring for vulnerable animals, not to mention cleaning after the biggest messes! Whatever you and your dog’s needs are, don’t hesitate to reach out!
Reviews
Katie was fantastic! Worked with her last minute and my dog loved exploring the park with her. Will be sure to contact her for her services again!
Katie was absolutely amazing and came over last minute to check up on my pup. She was very good and promptly came over as well and stayed with him when I was stuck on a group hike for over 6hours. Thank you Katie!
Katie has been awesome with my pup. She cares for him and he is always happy around her. Love her for accommodating my crazy schedule and last minute bookings.
Katie is great! Very patient with my fearful puppy. Reliable and will definitely book again!
About Katie H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I'm on a walk with your fur baby, I will make sure to give my full attention to them to make sure they are safe and happy during the entire time I am with them. Your pet's safety and happiness is my first priority!
Information Katie H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there's anything special to look out for, such as allergies or dietary restrictions. General temperament, daily routines, and other descriptions of behavior are also useful to know beforehand!
A typical day
I think that letting dogs smell around and explore their environment is super important for their well-being! And Central Park is a great place to let that happen safely in the city. I will spend lots of quality time with your friend, giving treats (appropriate amount & type) and playing games during our walk.

Availability
I work from home (except for some Wednesdays), right by Central Park South. Super convenient for a refreshing walk in the park! I can generally be flexible during the day on weekdays, but may have limitations during evenings and weekends, depending on the week. Happy to discuss schedules and availability ahead of time to find something that works for us!
