Where Love for Animals Meets Purpose

Our story begins with a lifelong love for animals and a deep connection to the healing power they provide. Katherine Rivera, our Chief Cuddler In Charge, has cared for animals for over 40 years. From volunteering with the Humane Society in Florida to having a home full of furry companions, animals have always been a part of her life. Before the world shifted during the pandemic, she ran a property management company, and dog sitting was just a side hustle—a way to connect with animals and bring joy to their owners. But as Katherine's own health challenges took center stage, including a hip replacement and bariatric surgery, she found that the dogs she cared for were more than just clients. They were her companions, showing up with love and comfort when she needed it most.

This steady, unconditional connection with animals helped Katherine heal and, in turn, gave her the clarity to realize her true calling. It was at that moment that Kat's Walk Dogs was born—an expression of her deep empathy and commitment to providing care for pets and their families. What began as a side hustle evolved into a full-time passion, offering consistent, reliable service for every dog that walks through our doors. We are here to build meaningful relationships, not just with the pets we care for, but with their humans as well, ensuring every pet feels loved and cared for, just as they deserve.RetryClaude can make mistakes.
