As our General Manager, Kate helps oversee the daily operations of Paws, working to ensure that families navigating the loss of a beloved companion are treated with kindness, understanding, and professionalism.

Kate is also currently pursuing her education in Mortuary Science, taking an important step toward a career dedicated to serving others during life's most difficult moments.

Her commitment to learning and growing in the funeral service profession reflects the same values we hold close at Paws: compassion, dignity, respect, and attention to every detail.

And as you can see from her photo, Kate knows a thing or two about the special bond we share with our furry family members.

Whether your companion has been by your side for a few short years or a lifetime of memories, Kate understands that saying goodbye is never easy.

For many of us, our pets are our constant companions, our comfort after a difficult day, and a source of unconditional love. They aren't just animals — they're family.

It's that understanding that makes compassionate pet aftercare so important to our entire team.

We're proud to have Kate leading the day-to-day operations of Paws by Parker & Burns, helping us build a service that families throughout Northwest Indiana can turn to with confidence.
