Dr. Katie Stender is a graduate of the University of Florida, for both her undergraduate studies, and her Doctorate in Veterinary Medicine. After graduating, she worked in general practice, as well as providing in-home euthanasia. It quickly became clear what her calling was, and she started exclusively practicing in-home end of life care. For years she has proudly served Jacksonville and the surrounding community, helping thousands of families all over northeast Florida. After the birth of her second son, Dr. Katie knew it was time to start her own practice and specialize in her true passion.

Dr. Katie loves spending time with her family. Her favorite day would be a day doing anything with her husband and sons. She has two senior cats, and a rescue hound dog (who is very naughty!) and understands the challenges of caring for senior pets. She loves doing house projects, hiking adventures in the mountains, trying new restaurants, sailing, and watching a good TV show.

Dr. Katie is so grateful to be able to continue the work she loves, sharing what she believes to be the most sacred space, as a family parts with their pet, in the comfort of their home. It is with great care that she performs this service for our pets and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
