Hi, I’m Kait! 👋🐾
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share a little about the person behind Kait’s Kanines.
My love for animals started long before this business. I grew up on a farm in Iowa, where caring for animals was simply a part of everyday life. From a young age, I learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and building trust with the animals around me.
At 18, I moved to Minnesota to attend Minnesota State University in Mankato, and I’ve called the area home ever since.
When I’m not caring for pets, I work as a Counselor (LPCC). In both roles, I believe that relationships are built through trust, consistency, and understanding individual needs. Every animal has their own personality, preferences, and comfort level, and I strive to honor that in the care I provide.
At home, I’m a pet parent myself! I share my life with a German Shepherd, a Mini Australian Shepherd, and two cats, so I understand firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members.
My approach is centered on building positive relationships and using fear-free handling whenever possible. I also understand that every pet is different, and there are times when additional tools, structure, or management strategies are needed to keep both pets and people safe and successful.
Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, overnight care, or simply a trusted person while you’re away, my goal is to provide care that helps them feel secure, comfortable, and loved.
Thank you for supporting my small business and trusting me with your furry, feathered, or scaly family members. I can’t wait to meet more of the amazing pets in our community!
Feel free to introduce your pets in the comments; I would love to meet them!
