Pet-loving social worker!
Pet care experience
My name is Katie and I am a graduate of Columbia school of social work. I miss my dog immensely and would love to take care of pets in my free time or on my lunch break! I am energetic, caring, and honest. I would take your dog out for many walks while he or she stayed with me. I grew up with many different animals, fostered dogs with a local organization and volunteered as a pet therapy team with my dog during my undergrad years! For more information please read my extended profile or feel free to contact me. About this sitter: I love yoga, outdoor sports, crafts, and animals! Why I love dog sitting My sisters and I were banned from the pet store when we were younger by my dad! We always came home with a new family pet. Our first dog was Copper and he automatically fit in with the family. In his old age we thought he needed a younger friend. I bought my own dog Pilot, but he quickly became loved by everyone. During my undergrad years, Pilot and I volunteered as a pet therapy team and visited hospitals, rehab centers, and schools. Since Pilot has passed, I’ve missed having a pup around. About my yard I do not have a backyard, but I am near Astoria park and the dog park. My experience administering medication is with my dog Copper. We got very comfortable with helping Copper with all of his various medications and lotions.
Reviews
We had an outstanding experience with Katie when we needed a sitter to watch our dog, Nyah, for four days. Katie was very friendly and more than happy to accommodate. While we were away, she shared updates and photos of Nyah throughout the day. It made us very happy knowing Nyah was in great hands! Really terrific. Highly recommended.
Katie was an awesome dog sitter for our dog Martin. She was very flexible with the drop off and pick up times. She sent pictures regularly so we knew he was well looked after, as well as regular text message updates. Martin seemed to really enjoy his weekend with her, and it was great to know he was being well looked after and loved. Highly recommend her.
Katie was a wonderful dogsitter. She kept our dog for over a week while we were away, and we didn't fee like we needed to worry about her any while we were gone. She kept us constantly updated with texts and/or pictures and was very responsive when we would reach out. We will definitely plan on letting our dog stay with Katie again when we are away!
A pleasure as always - It's so comforting to know that Sally is in good hands! Thanks, Katie!

I love taking the pups for walks! I am close to Gantry State Park and dog runs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement If the dog has a crate that he or she is comfortable sleeping in I am more than happy with setting that up. If not, he or she is also welcome to sleep with me!
