Professional, Attentive & Caring

Pet care experience

Branding myself as an animal lover might be an understatement, but it’s safe to say that dogs have a very special place in my heart. The beautiful golden retriever who you see in most of my pictures was my family’s loyal companion Penny — and she was with us for an incredible 16 years! Pet sitting was one of my first jobs as a child, for a neighbor’s sweet Labrador retrievers, and I haven’t met a dog I didn’t love since then! I have significant experience caring for senior dogs and puppies alike — and am very attentive to dogs’ individual needs. I'm reliable and have a full-time career during the week (in finance), but I WFH most days in the West Village so I always welcome having a furry friend at home with me (& make time in between weekday meetings for a few walks). I’ll document our adventures with lots of photos and videos so you can follow along as well! I can’t wait for the day that I can adopt my own dog, but until then, I’m looking forward to making furry best friends to explore the city (and cuddle) with!! Please note that my prices for boarding and house sitting do not include “constant care” (e.g., if your dog needs someone to watch them 24/7 because they’re anxious). Please reach out to me for an hourly quote if this is a service you’re interested in.

Katie was great with caring for my kitty, Pasha. She is very reliable and loves animals. I know that I can count on her. Julie F.

Katie was excellent with Finn. She took him for walks, played and sent lots of photos! We would highly recommend Katie

Katie was incredible! I could tell she really cares and loves dogs, she kept us constantly updated on what they were up to throughout the day and night. When we first met her, she asked good questions about our dogs routine, and our dog was in a great mood after we picked her up and we could tell she was being cared for and loved. Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out to Katie again in the near future.

Katie was so great with Mika. She provided us with plenty of updates and pictures while we were away so we always felt secure. She was incredibly accommodating and helpful with the pick up and drop off as well. Mika had a great time!

Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know about your dog’s current schedule, any likes/dislikes/triggers, and any tricks they’re trained on as well! Do they like going to the dog park or would they rather hang with humans all day?

A typical day

When your puppy is in my care, you can be sure that my weekend will be arranged around fitting in every fun activity that we possibly can! I live very close to the Hudson River Park & Washington Square Park, and strolls through the West Village are always exciting as well.

I’m currently working from home full-time and have a fairly flexible schedule during the week (lending itself well to walks/day care). On the weekends if I’m watching a dog I’ll craft our days around their schedule/interests!
