Meet the Brooklyn Managers!
megan o. | General Manager
Megan has been managing the BK walking branch since 2016. She is a true animal lover and has volunteered at animal sanctuaries and done several major trap and release projects in BK. After each TNR she always ends up taking home the “un-adoptable”. But find in time with patience and love they are well worth the extra work! Outside of her work with animals, she also works in the theatre and comedy world as a writer/ producer. In her free time, she is the proud mama of twin cat boys and twin human boys.
Jonathan F. | FIELD MANAGER
Hello, my name is Jonathan. I reside in Sunset Park and have been working for the company since 2018. This job is the perfect example of getting paid to do something you love. It warms my heart to see my furry friends excited to see me. I have two dogs of my own; a chihuahua mix and a corgi. Whether it’s boarding, dog walking, or cat sitting you can always count on me to be efficient, reliable, and nurturing to your pets. I treat them as if they were my own and I wouldn’t trade this job for anything!
Trevor S. | Field Manager
Hey, I'm Trevor! I was raised in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, for over 20 years now. My love for animals goes back as far as I can remember. My family had a dog *Oreo* when we were children, and we also have had a few cats over the years. I currently don't have a furry friend in my family, unfortunately, but that will change once my living space is much larger. I've always been interested in studying animal behaviors, and getting to understand them as much as I can. I've always taken care of and spent as much time as I could with the animals of friends and relatives. I just can't spend enough time with them, and there's just this great feeling whenever they accept you as part of the pack! In my personal time, I like to travel, trade stocks and options, train in martial arts, and play video games with my niece. I like to spend my time doing what I love, and taking care of your animal's needs will always be a passion close to my heart.

I was born in Madrid Spain, partially raised in Guatemala, and then immigrated then raised predominantly in Bedstuy Brooklyn New York. I've always had a passion for animals since I was a child and originally thought of getting into veterinary practices but instead went to school for another educational passion that I now hold 2 bachelor's in. I'm so happy to work alongside the various pets I've encountered with the company and the friendly & welcoming clients. I'm always so eager to help and add to my little team to give the best service and care possible for the animal, my goal is to build a solid connection with each pet and treat them as if they were my own & have been my longtime friend and companions.

Kim L.
Hi, my name is Kim and I am from St Louis, Mo. I am a singer and film artist, who is currently studying Indian Classical music. As a kid, I grew up with 1 cat that I named C-A-T and we also had 1 dog. When I moved to Brooklyn, I was so happy when I learned that I could take care of animals and be with them on a daily basis. I am a very intuitive and calm person and being out in nature is deeply satisfying for me. I feel my life has become richer since I've been with them and it is my dream one day, to live by the beach with my 2 cats and 1 dog, continuing my practice of delving deep into the music and art, surrounded by love.
Kimberly R.
Passionate about pets and adventures. Nothing brings me more joy than hitting the road or escaping to new destinations with my furry companions. Since I was 5, I've cherished the company of dogs, cats, birds, fishes, and various other animals. I share my love for all creatures big and small!
