Vet tech, animal lover, proud mama

Pet care experience

I’ve been a vet tech for about 5 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. Im a toddler mom, and I currently work as an emergency vet tech so I’m great at keeping calm in stressful situations.

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!

Katie is so sweet and caring and takes excellent care of our babies! She is very conscientious and attentive to detail and loves our dogs like they're her own. We feel very comfortable having her look after them!

Information Katie P. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I love dogwalking and playing fetch! I can also set up interactive games involving treats and puzzles, or practice simple training commands like sit or speak. I like to take lots of pictures to send pet parents :)

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 toddler with me to any visits on a weekday if it’s before 4 pm.
