CAT LOVER! CERTIFIED VET TECH
Pet care experience
My name is Katie and I young professional based in Longmont Colorado. I am currently a practicing Certified Veterinary Technician and I primarily have worked in emergency/ICU for the last 16 years. I have had many years of professional and personal animal related experience. I have many skills if your pet has special needs. I can care for diabetic patients, seizure dogs, chronic kidney disease animals, administer insulin, administer SQ fluids, administer oral medications, detect medical emergencies, etc. If you have a special needs animal please message me and we can see how I could help you feel at ease well leaving your pet with me. I enjoy going for hikes with my dogs when the weather permits, a favorite place we like to go as Cherry Creek Dog Park. I have two small dogs so if you have a small dog that would get along with mine it'd be an ideal situation for a small getaway or while you're at work. I would treat every dog just like they were my own and will be sure to spoil them while you are away. My family consists of an 13 year old papillon, a 9 year old basenji, and an 11 year old black cat all which were rescued. If you have any additional questions don't hesitate to ask, I am happy to provide other information as needed.
Reviews
Odie had a great time with Katie! When she left, she whined and waited for her to come back! Katie updated us every day on how Odie was doing, and also sent us pictures. She took Odie to the park and Odie got into a little bit of trouble and Katie was nice enough to bathe her afterwards. My travel plans weren't set in stone and Katie was flexible in Odie's pick up and drop off time. We will definitely reach out to Katie again when we need someone to watch Odie.
I was able to trust Katie with my twelve week old puppy, Bella, and all my other critters (i.e.- four birds and two aquariums). Katie came over for a meet and greet session where I could have her meet Bella and show her around the house. I was able to explain the basic routines for caring for the pets and various other around the house jobs I asked her to do (getting the mail, pick up the newspapers, feed the outside birds). She sent me frequent reports concerning how everything was going and what activities Bella was involved in. When I returned from my trip, the house was clean and Bella was there to greet me. I wouldn't have any reservations having Katie house sit for me again.
Katie took good care on my dog and stayed in touch with me! It's great knowing someone great with animals is watching my beloved dog so I can get away.
Katie was great with our dog Dillon. She got back to me very quickly after my request and even came to my house and picked Dillon up for the start of his stay. Throughout the week I got pictures and updates on how he was doing. We will definitely use katie again.
