Hi there, my name is Katie Sam! I am a media student at UK, but I used to be an animal science major on a pre-veterinary track. I LOVE animals and I would love to care for yours! I have a black cat of my own named Bagheera (like from the Jungle Book) but since childhood I’ve had several different kinds of pets including cats, fish, beagles, a golden retriever, mutts, a Dalmatian, a lab, and a hedgehog. I love all species and breeds! Aside from my own pets, my experience includes several years volunteering at shelters, fostering orphaned neonatal kittens, 9 months as a puppy trainer, and even a summer working at a vet clinic. I’ve taught tricks, tube-fed, bottle-fed, given baths, administered pills, and much more. I’d love to accompany your dog on a walk— or run, if they’re into that! I also consider myself to be an expert pet-cuddler. Whether your pet is high-energy or shy and reserved, I can take care of them. Whatever the case, I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your furry friend!
