Hi! I’m Kat.

My love of animals started at a young age, and only grew stronger over the years. I’ve had dozens of beloved fur babies over the years, but it was Louie (pictured on the home page) who changed everything for me. More importantly, he’s the reason I founded Gentle Paw Pet Care.

Louie was a 14-year-old disabled min-pin with a seizure disorder. He was happy and hilarious, and still with us mentally, even as his body began to give out. In his final two years of life, he lost most of his mobility, was on multiple medications that had to be given at precise times, and needed to be monitored 24/7 for his seizure disorder. It was my absolute privilege to do all of that for him.

But it took a toll. Sleepless nights. Cancelled plans. Difficulty finding someone I trusted to stay with him when I had to go to work… I made so many sacrifices for my soul-dog, and I’d do it again, over and over.

I know you would too. But now I want you to have the support I wish I’d had. Whether it’s having someone you trust (me!) stopping by while you’re at work, or giving you the freedom to take the trip you’ve wanted to because you know I’m caring for your baby like they’re my own, Gentle Paw Pet Care was created with your and your fur baby’s comfort in mind.
