Anyone who meets Katie is impressed with her cheerfulness and professionalism. Katie’s love for animals started when she was young and she would ‘doctor’ her family pets. As a teen, she volunteered at Ironstone Farm’s horse therapy program. Katie has now been in the veterinary field professionally for over 15 years, having worked in general practice and large emergency hospital settings.

She provides care with a gentle approach that puts our patients at ease. As our hospital manager, Katie works well under pressure making sure treatment plans are executed and pets are treated with utmost respect. When not at Kodiak, Katie enjoys spending time with her family that includes her husband Matt, son Hunter and their dog Bella. She also enjoys spending time with extended family and her close friends. When not indulging her love for shopping, Katie can often be found on the trails of Maine; snowmobiling, skiing, hiking, four-wheeling, and fishing.

Dennis helped start Kodiak after a career as a product manager in the tech world. He is known for his ability to connect with both our clients and their pets, while also working behind the scenes to keep the hospital running smoothly. When not at Kodiak, Dennis can be found trying some experiments in his garden or kayaking along the coast.
