Pet care experience

Trusted, Expert Pet Care, 20+ Years

I have a lifelong passion for animals, backed by over 20 years of professional experience caring for and training a wide variety of species. I have worked with beloved household pets to complex exotic animals and developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, wellbeing, and individualized needs. My background has taught me how to build trust quickly and safely, recognize subtle changes in behavior, and provide attentive, compassionate care in any situation. I can maintain routines, administer specialized care and medications, keep active animals enriched and stimulated, or simply ensure your pet feels safe and loved. I bring reliability, patience, and genuine dedication to every animal I work with. If you are looking for expert care for your pets, I will happily provide exceptional service and be there for them, and you! Your pets and your family will be treated with the same level of care and respect as my own.

I worked with Kat for a few years and she always cared for mine and other team members pets (and sometimes kids!) while we were away or had to work long shifts. I’ve witnessed first hand her natural calm, collected demeanor around the animals we worked with, as well as her ability to notice small physical or behavioral changes. She has an eye for detail and a way of building great relationships with animals of all types. I’ve also appreciated her kindness and professionalism with all of us humans too.

I’ve known Katelyn for over 25 years, and she has built her life and career around caring for animals. Her knowledge, patience, and genuine love for pets really stand out. She is one of the only people I fully trust with both my cats and my home, which says a lot. I’ve personally seen the impact she has—when I adopted a feral cat who would only come out if I was completely alone, Katelyn worked with him patiently over time. Now, he not only feels safe but will actually come out and approach her, which is something I never thought I’d see. She has a calm, understanding presence that animals respond to, especially those that are shy or anxious. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly compassionate with animals.
