Veterinary Professional in DFW

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, as well as a few exotics. I have been a dog sitter in Dallas and Fort Collins, CO. I worked at Pet City for a year and a half so I am familiar with grooming, general care, and medicine administration. I am a practice manager at a veterinary clinic in Richardson and was a technician for 5 years. I own two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels but have owned several dogs and cats in the past. I have watched up to 4 dogs at a time and would love to meet your furry companions! I am able to perform subcutaneous injections, fluid administration, and oral medication administration. Let me know if you would like to schedule a meet and greet so we can see if we are a good fit!

Our dog Henry loves Katie. He has stayed twice! He was so happy when he arrived the 2nd time. Katie is wonderful!

Katie kept our dog, Grey, for a week while we were on vacation. Grey was the happiest little guy when we picked him up. There's no doubt that he was treated like one of the family and received endless hug and cuddles. Communication was always quick and easy. Katie is now our go-to for all of our dog sitting needs!

Katie is so kind and loving with my littles. She takes great care of them and is a wonderful vet tech such that she can give meds and keep an eye out for common pet problems! She is a wonderful choice for your furry friends while your away.

I will customize each housesitting job to fit the personal needs of each pet! I am skilled in giving medications, helping senior pets, and taking care of rambunctious puppies or those still in the potty training phase :) I have a 5yo son who I split custody with so I prefer dogs that are good around children.

Information Katie M. would like to know about your pet

Special needs: senior, meds, injections, mobility issues, incontinence issues. Puppy needs: potty training, behavioral training, motivation and play time. Cats: medical issues, knowing if they are indoor/outdoor, litter box training, etc.

A typical day

I love finding quiet neighborhoods and peaceful trails to walk on. I recently moved to Plano near a nice walking trail in a pet friendly neighborhood. I love playing fetch and cuddling pets to make them feel loved and cared for while their owners are away because I know this can be stressful to some!
