Kay's story
Meet Kay
I'm a lifelong animal lover who is devoted to improving human-animal bonds. Since I was a kid, animals have always been the focus of my world, and that focus has only deepened. My curiosity for understanding the language of animals expanded as I completed my Bachelor's of Science degree in Animal Behavior all while working in the pet industry. Through my experiences in emergency veterinary medicine, pet boarding, horse and dog training, farm animal handling, and even wildlife ecology, my mission for Kay9 Care was formulated.
My mission is to provide the top quality of care to your animals and to educate dog owners, and my vision is to improve our overall connection to all non-human species. Nearing a decade of skin in the game and experience handling dozens of species, my dedication to animals has only grown with my knowledge.
Meet Rambo
Rambo is one of the biggest reasons why my love for dogs turned into a passion for understanding dog behavior. He tested my skills and challenged every belief I had about dog training. Coming from a pedigree of dogs deeply ingrained in police/military work--like many working breeds-- he needed an outlet and a purpose. Biological fulfillment was one of the keys to his training success. He exemplifies that each dog is unique and that our training must evolve to suit the individual dog. Nature and nurture play a vital role in the development and training of every dog here at Kay9 Care.
Meet Papi
Papi's story is a testament to my unwavering commitment to pet welfare. He is a special cat who needed a special home. After being diagnosed with a urinary obstruction, he was surrendered to the animal hospital I worked at to receive proper treatment and find an owner to manage his condition. Since I adopted him, he has learned how to live again. His confidence and trust has grown beyond what anyone could've imagined. My mission at Kay9 Care is to provide the highest quality of care to pets of all shapes and sizes and uphold the highest standard for animal welfare.
