Pet care experience

Your dogs new best friend!

Hi! My name is Katie, and I am a veterinary student at St. George’s University School of Veterinary Medicine. I will be entering my clinical year at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine in January 2027 and graduating with my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine shortly thereafter. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I have dedicated my education and career to their health, safety, and well-being. Through my veterinary training, I have gained extensive knowledge in animal behavior, preventive care, medication administration, emergency recognition, and the unique needs of dogs and cats of all ages. In addition to years of pet-sitting experience, I have worked as an emergency veterinary technician and have participated in wildlife care and rehabilitation. These experiences have given me hands-on experience caring for animals in both routine and urgent situations. While I am not yet a licensed veterinarian, my advanced veterinary education allows me to provide an exceptional level of care and attention to your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, overnight care, medication administration, or simply extra love and attention while you’re away, you can feel confident knowing they are in the hands of someone with extensive animal-care experience and professional veterinary training. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family members!

Doggy Day Care • Nov 28, 2022

Katie was amazing! Pick up and drop off where smooth and her home was very welcoming and spacious for our little pup to hang out! Her little pup was super friendly with mine and Katie was excellent with communication. Highly recommend her for the care of your little ones ❤️?

Katie is a wonderful care giver whether it be dogs, babies and even her own responsibilities. She is also currently studying to become a veterinarian, which makes her an even more qualified candidate for your animal care needs.
