Lifetime animal lover & healthcare

Pet care experience

I have a deep love and respect for all animals, and have spent many years with them personally & professionally. I always consider them family. I've worked as a vet assistant, an Animal caretaker & healthcare specialist at a large animal sanctuary rescuing, rehabilitating, restoring trust and health on the mental emotional behavioral and physical levels. I've cared for the young as much as the sick, injured and old and consider each one of the souls I've crossed paths with to be a blessing. For me, no matter the case, animal care is simple. They just need connection, safety, and the opportunity to be allowed to be who and what they are in a world that's often confusing. In that way, i think humans and animals are a lot alike....perhaps that's why we make the best of friends. Nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, free, healthy, happy and loved.

To Whom It May Concern, My name is Tamsone Barley, I have enjoyed a wonderful friendship with Kate Woodlock for over a year now. There are so many amazing things about her, but if I had to really pinpoint a strong feature Kate has - it is most certainly that she is excellent with animals. I know about Kate’s history as a manager and caretaker working on a rescue animal farm. She has also been very helpful in my interactions with my cat regarding his behaviors and sharing her knowledge of first aid and health and dietary needs for my kitten. She has a wealth of knowledge about animals including dogs. Kate loves animals so much, her entire life philosophy down to her diet (vegan) revolves around fairness and kindness to animals. You could not ask for any other person more committed to the well-being, safety, and happiness of any dog she will be walking. As an animal lover myself, I’m not just saying all of this because Kate is my friend and I’d like her to have this job, I’m saying it because I love animals and I also care a lot about them and I just know you can’t do any better than Kate when it comes to this job - and I want the best for all canine clients.

I have known kate for a long time, she has a special connection with animals. She is super responsible and notices health issues before owners might! She loves her work, animals and their people always look forward to seeing her. She can be counted upon to do a good job every time. Nancy from highland mills.

When Kate first started watching our pack, we had three 75+ pound dogs. Kate handled all of them professionally and with such love. As a dog mom, there is a certain level of anxiety when I travel regarding who is staying with my babes. When Kate is with them, I know they are in the most loving, trusting hands. She stays on my crazy dog mom schedule, plays with them, walks them even HIKED with them. I would recommend Kate in a heartbeat.
