I love animals!

Pet care experience

Hello! A little about me: If you're wondering who the cute pup in the first four photos is, his name is Reggie. I decided to foster him after living in NYC for a year and realizing how much I missed four-legged friends. I fostered Reggie through SocialTees for about two weeks until he found his forever home. To begin, I got my first dog Shannon, a miniature pinscher, when I was eight years old. I had her until she passed away at the age of 13. She developed diabetes (and eventually glaucoma), and I had to learn how to administer insulin twice a day. Since then, my family and I had inherited a German Shepard, Pomeranian, Dachshund, and Dachshund/Pug mix. I also grew up with two Dobermans. Since I've had to take care of my little Shannon when she developed diabetes and eventually became blind due to glaucoma, I am confident in how to care for pets with health conditions. Please feel free to reach out if you have additional questions! Thanks, Katie

Katie is the absolute best, one of my favorite sitters who I always know I can count on to take the best case of my pup. Highly recommended!

Katie is an excellent walker! She replied to my query immediately and was able to come on short-notice. She was prompt and knowledgeable about dogs. My baby-girl fell in love with her at first sight. My dog can be skittish on the streets of Manhattan, especially if the human she's with is unfamiliar with handling nervous dogs; Katie reported, however, that Kristi was happy and confident during their walk, which is the most I could ask for. Five stars.

I recently hurt my leg and couldn't walk which is devastating for a dog owner. Katie was a lifesaver as she was willing to accommodate my disability by coming by later than usual in the evening (11pm) to take my dogs out.
