Katie has worked with and around animals from the moment she was legally able to become employed. From working in shelters, to emergency and general practice medicine, to even working for one of those pet waste management companies. She's got a passion for delivering care, love, and compassion to all animals and see's the good in all of them! (even the spicy ones) She loves, respects, and fully understands pets and what it takes to not only give them 100% of the care they need (and deserve) but also to anticipate their needs and recognize "off" behaviors. She's incredibly diligent, very communicative, and has the work ethic of an Energizer bunny.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing and working with Katie for the past couple of years, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! Having seen her firsthand as a vet tech, her genuine love and passion for animals is immediately obvious and she has a true talent when it comes to understanding and caring for them. She goes above and beyond to make sure both pets and pet parents feels safe, comfortable, and cared for…so much so that I specifically request her as the vet tech whenever my pets have appointments (she's the only one who can handle my rambunctious aussie and spicy kitty). I even chose Katie as an emergency contact for my pets in the event that I couldn’t be reached, because I know without a doubt that she would care for them and advocate for them as if they were her own. She is incredibly kind, compassionate, dependable, and knowledgeable when it comes to animals and their individual needs. There are very few people I would trust as completely with my pets, and Katie is absolutely one of them. I have no doubt that your fur babies will be in the best of hands with her! 🐶❤️🐱

Katie is truly one of the most trustworthy, compassionate, and knowledgeable people I know when it comes to animals. She works as a veterinary technician at a vet clinic in Austin, so she has an incredible understanding of animal care and knows what to look for when it comes to their health, behavior, and individual needs. I’ve also had the privilege of having Katie foster for me multiple times, and I can say without hesitation that she cares for every foster as if they were her own. She is incredibly thoughtful, thorough, patient, and attentive, and she always goes above and beyond to make sure the animals in her care are happy, comfortable, and loved. She treats her own dog and cat with so much love, and she extends that exact same care and attention to every animal she cares for. Katie is the kind of person you can leave your pets with and truly have peace of mind knowing they are in the best possible hands. She is responsible, communicative, compassionate, and genuinely cares about the well-being of every animal she meets. I would trust her with my pets without hesitation, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like family!
