Rehab focused vet tech in training

Pet care experience

I've had pets all my life. From big dogs, to tiny dogs, to stray cats having kittens under my shed. I even had a hedgehog when I was in college (the first time). I am currently enrolled at BRCC to become a Veterinarian Technician. I have worked in wildlife rehabilitation as well. In doing this I have been lucky enough to gain experience with various species of animals, wound care, rescue and release. My husband and I just welcomed our first baby in Spring 2023 and this has limited my pet sitting availability. I’m currently only doing drop in visits close to home. Please reach out with any questions. I have basically no traveling plans for the summer.

Katie is absolutely amazing! She has cared for my crazy little dog Maddy so many times, and has somehow been able to keep her calm which can even be difficult for me to do at times! My dog can be very specific with her needs, and Katie has listened to my instructions and also had a great intuition when it comes to Maddy which not everyone has shown. She has her own dogs too, so being a pet parent is something she brings to every dog she meets, not just her own. You can’t go wrong with Katie!!

Information Katie F. would like to know about your pet

I would love to be informed of any issues or difficulties your pup or kitty has and work with them as needed. My heart really grows with special needs animals. Especially let me know about allergies or if they really don't like other animals.

A typical day

I'm happy to take your pups to our local dog park (pleasant grove park) or even walk them around your neighborhood where they are more familiar.
