Having grown up on a farm in Ohio, Dr. Stine developed a passion for the care and welfare of animals at an early age. His high school and college experiences working in veterinary hospitals deepened his affinity for animals and furthered his desire to pursue a career in veterinary medicine.

Dr. Stine completed his undergraduate work at the University of Cincinnati College of Pharmacy, and then earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at the Ohio State University. Upon graduation, he worked in a mixed animal practice in North Carolina. There he developed a keen interest and proficiency in small animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, dermatology and dentistry.

For over three decades, Dr. Stine has enjoyed practicing small animal medicine in North Central Florida. He has enjoyed helping patients live longer, healthier and productive lives through preventative medicine and quality nutrition. He lives in High Springs with his wife and their spoiled, furry family of six (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, four cats and a cow).

Originally from Pennsylvania, Kat has recently relocated to the Gainesville area to begin her career with Pet Paradise Resort. After graduating from Slippery Rock University in 2014 with her bachelor's in Business Administration, Kat began her post-college career working in corporate marketing. After only a year in the industry she quickly knew something was missing and she made the jump to the pet care industry. For the last 2 years Kat has been managing a private pet care facility in PA. Kat is also currently enrolled in CATCH Canine trainer's academy where she is working to earn her certificate as a certified professional dog trainer. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her 2 rescue Pit Bulls and her Boston Terrier mix, Piggy, Lulu and Teddy. She has also been fostering dogs for the last 4 years and hopes to foster for a local rescue organization here in Gainesville. Kat is very excited about this opportunity to work with a variety of new clients and their beloved pets!
