Katie (w/ Tia)

General Manager

Katie has been with Central Bark™ since 2003 and we have enjoyed every moment. Her sense of humor and hard work make her one unforgettable gal! We were thrilled to have Katie join our management team and hoped to get her hooked – of course we did just that. Within months Katie was managing the Central Bark North Side location. Katie’s BA in Mass Communications and Journalism from UW - Milwaukee, management experience and her love for all things furry make her the perfect fit. She is pictured here with her 6 year old Yorkie, Tia, whom she adopted from the Yorkshire Terrier Rescue in Wisconsin with the help of Judi Idling, a customer at the Downtown location. Katie is certified in Pet First Aid and has attended seminars by dog gurus Sue Sternberg and Jean Donaldson. Katie is very proud of the Central Bark North Side and Downtown locations so stop in for a personally guided tour of this facility, but don’t be offended if her dog Tia is a bit aloof, after all she is a Yorkie!!
