Meet The Team

Amy Katz

Amy is one of the owners of Urban Bark and has been working with dogs since 2010. From walking to grooming to in-home boarding, she's done it all! She has always had a great love and deep compassion for animals so its only natural that she chose this path for her career. She is also a proud mom to a rescue pup, Trooper.

She began fostering dogs in 2014 through Just Paws Animal Rescue, and she will very proudly admit to having foster failed her first time around! Since adopting Trooper, she has continued to foster many dogs and is just happy to know that she has played a small part in making their lives better.

Amy is CPR and first aid certified from St. John Ambulance.

Kyle Hershorn

Kyle is one of the owners of Urban Bark. He has been doing in-home boarding since 2012 and he joined the dog walking team in 2018. He has a true love for dogs and enjoys spending his days with them.

When Kyle is not working with the dogs you can find him at Sirius Satellite Radio producing a few shows, and you might also hear him broadcasting on one of their sports channels.

Kyle is a proud dad to Trooper, who was his first foster dog 7 years ago. Since then he has fostered countless other rescue dogs in need of help. He is a proud volunteer for Just Paws Animal Rescue and is just happy to help dogs in need.

Kyle is CPR and first aid certified from St. John Ambulance.
