Katherine R. Pet Care Provider in Tacoma, WA 98409

I have been an animal lover since I was born. No really, my mother's Lasso Opsa, Cocoa, became my protector and entertainment the minute I was born. He loved me and stayed by my side until he passed away. Since then I have raised kittens to cats and puppies to dogs. I have raised, cared for, and helped babysit domestics and exotics (sugar gliders, opossums, and hedgehogs). I have a small amount of experience with livestock such as goats and horses, but I excel with dogs of all sizes, Chihuahua to Great Dane, and cats, Munchkin to Maine Coon. I have experience with basic training, treat training and otherwise, as well as basic medical training for animals (CPR and medications, NOT SYRINGES). I currently have three dogs in my home with my fiance, Craig, two German Shepherd/Husky mix females (Indy and Saki) and a full bred Husky male (Tashi). During my off time with work in the past couple of years, I found myself volunteering at the Houston Zoo (Houston, TX) as an animal handling docent and a general volunteer with Friends for Life No Kill Animal Shelter (nokill1.org). During my time with these organizations, I was able to receive professional and personal training in the care and handling of both exotic and domestic animals. Animals are my life and I strive to help them in most anyway that I can. This is why I hope you allow me to be apart of your pet's life, whether a simple check in and hello to a overnight stay at my home or yours. The bigger the furbaby family, the better! :)
