Experienced Vet Professional

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Katie and my love for all animals stems back further than I can remember. In addition to my love for pets, I have a BS in pre-veterinary medicine and 5 years of medical experience in the veterinary field. I am comfortable with a range of animal behaviors and am experienced administering almost any at home medication. My experience in vet med has also given me the knowledge and confidence to know when something is wrong with an animal, so you can be confident they are in good hands. I know it’s hard to leave your pets at home during the day or when you go on vacation, but knowing they are with someone who is loving, responsible, and experienced can make all the difference!

Katie was so kind and patient with our dogs! One of them is special needs and very shy and she kept us updated with how he was doing and the steps she took to get him to warm up to her. She sent us pictures and updates periodically. It was so nice not having to worry about our babies while we were away for the weekend. We would definitely book her again. Thank you Katie!

Katie is amazing! She has pet/house sat for us numerous times and it has been a great experience. We have a cat, Ash, and dog, Roxy who absolutely adores her and they look healthier when we return. Katie looks after your house, water your plants and will even take out the trash cans (we have a long driveway to get to pick up). If you need someone who will look after your fur-kids and house, then Katie is your lady!

There are very few people I’d trust to handle my three rambunctious border collies, and Katie is definitely on that list! My dogs are always so excited to see her, and she always treats them as if they were her own furry children. She first walked my dogs when she worked as a technician at our local vet, and I couldn’t think of someone more capable and knowledgeable to handle anything that happens with my dogs. She even taught me how to cut my dogs nails! She is AMAZING!

Katie has such a love for animals and is attentive to their every need. With her working in the veterinary field for many years, she has an understanding as to when an animal needs help or treatment. She is a responsible woman is always on time, performs her tasks with efficiency and thoroughness and is very reliable. I absolutely recommend her to any one needing an animal sitter.
