Veterinarian Assistant

Hi! My name is Katie, and I work full-time as a veterinary assistant. Caring for animals is both my career and my passion. Through my experience in veterinary medicine, I am comfortable working with pets of all ages, including seniors, puppies and kittens, and pets with special needs. I have experience administering medications, monitoring for signs of illness, and helping anxious or nervous pets feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in visit, playtime and exercise, medication administration, or extra patience and attention while you’re away, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout each visit.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help reduce stress while their owners are away. I ensure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, and plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort based on each pet’s personality and needs. With my veterinary assistant experience, I am comfortable providing additional care such as administering oral medications, monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health, and giving extra support to senior or anxious pets. I also offer services including dog walking, nail trims, and bathing when needed. My goal is always to keep pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind with reliable updates and communication throughout each visit.

We highly recommend Katie! She is a natural with pets, is respectful of our home and thorough with her questions to ensure she is meeting expectations. She communicated regularly during her housesitting and checked in with questions. The dogs love her, and we will definitely work with Katie again!
