Proud Veterinary Technician

Pet care experience

I have been caring for all sorts of critters since I was very young. From pet sitting neighbors cats at age 7, to my first job at a pet store caring for all sorts of animals, and finally the last 13 years in veterinary medicine. I am well rounded in ANIMALS! Everyone knows me as the animal girl or vet tech. Caring for animals is my passion. I am familiar with many medications and able to administer them. I have cared for the young and the old. I grew up with Sophie my paralyzed Dachshund that I helped my parents care for including expressing her bladder. My Jack Russell Greenbean also became paralyzed in her last couple years of life and also needed around the clock care. I am well versed in senior care. I have cared for reptiles, small animals, birds, dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and would love to care for any farm/barnyard animals. We currently have Mac our pitbull/boxer mix, Oak our Australian cattle mix, Stitch our box tortoise and our chicken ladies. I can also offer nail trim and anal gland expression services if needed.

Katie was very welcoming and awesome with my dog, Chloe. She kept me up to date on how Chloe was doing along with pictures. My dog was very comfortable at her home. Would definitely recommend her for your babies.

Katie was great, and got our anxious boy to allow her to pet him! She was great with communication and letting me know what was up.

Katie is very good with all animals. She is very compassionate and caring towards them. She is very responsible and willing to do whatever it takes to make sure your animals are taken care of properly.

I have a variety of dog/cat beds, big and small, all cozy of course. I have multiple different sizes and styles of crates if your dog is crate trained. We have a 3 acre lot that has a fenced pasture. We are in a court so I have the ability to also leash walk around the neighborhood if requested. My dogs are friendly and love visitors. I have a small animal cage that used to be for our ratties and can be used for a small animal/exotic pet.
