About Us

 Meet Katie, co-founder of Remember to Paws—a pet loss grief support space rooted in both personal experience and professional care. 

With over 18 years in leadership and team management, Katie has built her career on guiding others toward growth, connection, and purpose. She specializes in mentoring teams, helping individuals set meaningful goals, and creating supportive environments where people can thrive—both personally and professionally.

She is a certified life coach, certified pet loss grief coach, and is currently training to become a yoga instructor to integrate mindfulness into healing.

Katie has worked at Villalobos Rescue Center for four years, where she serves as the sponsor and virtual adoption coordinator, social media specialist, and co-host of Good Morning Villalobos—a morning show for VRC that features adoptable dogs and highlights what’s happening at the rescue.

Having experienced the heartbreak of losing her own pets, Katie helped create Remember to Paws to support others through their pain with compassion and care.

Take a breath, honor the love, and remember to paws.

Jenna has been part of the Villalobos Rescue Center family for over 8 years, managing a dog rescue facility with more than 100 dogs. Her role has been hands-on and heart-led—providing daily care, coordinating operations, and ensuring every dog’s well-being. Jenna also assists Katie, with the Sponsor & Virtual Adoption Programs, is apart of the Social Media team, and is co-host of Good Morning Villalobos.

 Jenna has witnessed countless moments of love, healing, and heartbreak, often serving as the one to say goodbye to unadopted pets, holding them with compassion in their final moments.

Her connection to loss runs deep—not only through her own beloved pets, but through the many dogs at the rescue whose stories ended too soon. These experiences have fueled her calling to guide others through their own grief journeys.

Jenna holds a Pet Loss Grief Support Certificate, equipping her with the skills to walk alongside grieving pet parents during one of the most difficult times in their lives. She has a special passion for supporting others through the end-of-life process, providing comfort, validation, and understanding every step of the way.

Her hope is that through Remember to Paws, no one will ever have to face the heartbreak of losing a pet alone. 

Take a breath, honor the love, and remember to paws.
