Animal Care Professional
Pet care experience
Hi! :) My name is Katy. I have been working with animals my whole life. To keep it short, I grew up in Texas surrounded by all kinds of animals, so the passion of helping them only came natural. I have over six years of professional behavior and handling experience and I am a big canine enrichment advocate. I am a dogmom to two girls, a Labrador Retriever named Ginger and a Catahoula Leopard dog named Sage! Can’t forget my cat Thyme. I would love to get to know your pup! I used to manage a dog daycare in Saratoga, then as a veterinary assistant at a local vet, you may know me from there! I have experience working with hundreds of dog breeds, big and small! Cats too! *First Aid and CPR Certified *Fear Free Certified
Reviews
Katy is a past coworker of mine. Her love of dogs, especially chocolate labs, is something I’ve only seen in a handful of people in my profession. Katy will love and care your dog as if it’s her own. I’ve watched her Fear Free techniques grow leaps and bounds, and she definitely has a talent of making dogs feel safe and secure. Her energetic and outgoing personality is great for those happy-go-lucky doggos! But she also knows how to be calm and gentle with those who need a little more reassurance. Her 2 dogs are her entire world. I swear, there is nothing she won’t do for her girls. She is probably one of the best dog moms I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her background in doggy-daycare and as a veterinary assistant definitely makes her a great caretaker for your fur-baby!
Katy is more than responsible with only having animal care as her work background especially working in a vet hospital. She’s more than capable to

Rain or shine, your pups and I will be outside. Whether you prefer we walk in your neighborhood, or a small hike; your dog will come home tired! I like to add some fun training games to our walks to help strengthen the relationship between your dog and I.
