Katie Rogers

I have loved and lived with many animals throughout the years. The list spans from dogs and cats to rats, parakeets, bunnies, and a snake.A few special animals have stood out. These heart animals include Hana, a large Golden Retriever who nurtured my interest and love for dogs. A rat named Sally who went everywhere with me for years – including work at a pet store, dog walking and house sitting! Sally would come when called and was an ambassador for her species. Tanner was the difficult dog that changed my world. Tanner showed me what love and patience are really about.I currently live with Tater Tot (tabby cat), Mila (smooth collie) and Lark (golden retriever).I began to work with animals professionally in 2011 after receiving a BA in Psychology from San Diego State University. By 2013 I opened Katie's Critters. Since 2011 I have studied animal behavior and training by attending classes, seminars and workshops.
