Hi, my name is Catherine and I am an actor, avid reader, and dog lover! I grew up with a miniature schnauzer named Mitzi and due to my living situation I'm unable to have a dog of my own, currently. This is why I'd love to spend time with your dog on a walk! I also work as a nanny and dog-sit for friends and family, so I have ample experience in care giving, for humans and furry friends alike. I'm looking forward to getting a workout in with your wonderful dog!See Profile

Hi! My name is Kayla! I was inspired by the dogs I grew up with in my family to make it my life’s mission to be of service to all animals and make sure they are treated with upmost respect and love. I’m an experienced dog walker and caretaker. I’m very attentive, patient, and protective of the furry family. I’m from NYC but spent my college years in Ithaca, NY so I love the outdoors. I’m also a brand ambassador for Barkly and certified in First Aid & CPR for dogs and cats. In addition to walking dogs, I also bake healthy treats for them and take photos of them with my Fujifilm cameras. I would love to meet your pup, show them some love, and go on an adventure together!See Profile
