Pre-vet student, vet assistant

Pet care experience

I have had at least one pet my entire life. Growing up I cared for our family’s yellow lab (walks, meds, etc.), I have experience with small rodents (rats, hamsters, mice), aquatics (turtles, fish), and crustaceans (hermit crabs). I am a senior pre-veterinary student and work at a veterinary office where it is my job to care for other people’s animals. I also assist with proceedures and learn a lot about things to look out for and common problems pets can face. I am happy to medicate your pets if they need it while in my care (daily meds, post surgery, allergies, etc.). I currently have two rescue pups, Havana and Bella. They both love other pups and animals, but can be kept separate if needed. I live in an apartment complex with a fenced dog play area, and make frequent trips to Red Mountain and Oak Mountain to hike.

Katie took care of my grumpy 11 yr old lab mix while we were on vacation. I was very pleased with her patience with Maddie, and the updates through the Rover ap. It was wonderful to get to relax and not have to worry that we'd have to drop everything and rush back due to doggie issues! Katie took her time to get to know Maddie and was careful to give her space. Not everyone is comfortable with big skittish dogs, but Katie has spent enough time around different dogs and knows how to read them. I recommend her to anyone, and really appreciate her working with our dog!

Katie was the perfect sitter! She took great care of Odin and had a few trips to the dog park which our dog loves. Can’t recommend Katie enough!
