Pet care experience

Vet tech, animal lover, proud mama

I’ve been a vet tech for about 6 years. Before that, I managed a pet boarding facility. I grew up on a farm, so I’ve been caring for dogs and cats all my life. I’m a toddler mom, and I currently work as an emergency vet tech so I’m great at keeping calm in stressful situations.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for a pet, I always play with them and make sure they get quality interaction with me. I also check over their physical appearance to make sure they’re healthy and safe. As a vet tech, I’m very concerned with pets’ health and wellbeing.

Katie was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. She has a loving passion for animals and I never worried about her being there and feeding him. She went above and beyond all the things we even could have asked of her. Thank you Katie, I hope in the future you will accept our booking request. Thank you.

Another great sit with Katie, she is so helpful and thoughtful! Katie always goes above and beyond and we feel completely trusting of her care for our sweet kitty and coming to our home. She has great discretion, asks about our needs, sends pics and is very loving to our Casper. Don’t hesitate to book with her! Thank you Katie!

This was our second booking with Katie and she was absolutely wonderful! Her expertise as a vet tech, communication, and willingness to go above and beyond came into play this stay, and showed just how dedicated to she is to caring for animals AND their owners! Katie is an asset and we will definitely book with her again. Thank you Katie for helping us take this trip and feel peace about sweet Casper’s care. You are a gem and we are so grateful for you!!

Katie was amazing for our sweet kitty!! She completed a meet and greet with both our animals before and immediately made friends. She is thoughtful and knowledgeable about animals’ needs and feeding patterns, and went out of her way to bond with our cat while we were gone. She sent daily pictures, stayed the entire visit and even got our mail! Thank you Katie for helping our trip go more smoothly and keeping our hearts at ease while we were gone. Will absolutely request Katie again in the future!

Schedule

I’m a stay-at-home mom during the week, and then I work on Saturdays, so I’m pretty flexible with my schedule! I will have to bring my 3-yr-old with me to any visits on a weekday if it’s before 4 pm, but he is very gentle and knows to go slow around animals.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Katie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet has special needs. I can medicate any pet. I have experience with hospice care pets as well. If I visit before 4 pm on a weekday then my toddler will be with me, so please let me know if that’s an issue.
