History
In 2006, Kara Kleindienst moved to New York City after her post-university job on Capitol Hill. Soon thereafter, she met fashion designer Phillip Lim and began walking his dog, Oliver, whose adorable personality inspired her to get her own Frenchie, Lucca. Spending afternoons with these two Bullies sparked an interest in entrepreneurship and a career in the dog industry. Through the encouragement of her parents, in 2007, The Barking Meter officially hit the streets of New York City with a focus on providing the level of care to clients that Kara would expect for Lucca. Since the beginning, TBM has teamed up with local businesses -- veterinarians, groomers, dog trainers -- and through these incredible relationships, the k9 concierge took shape. In 2011, Kara's brother, Joey, joined the team. This sibling duo seeks to provide excellence in dog care throughout 25 neighborhoods in Manhattan and Brooklyn. We are the ultimate k9 advocate.
