Who Is Bellflower?

Welcome to Bellflower, my name is Katie McHenry and I am the Founder and Care Coordinator for Bellflower Mobile Pet Aftercare. My entire life and career have revolved around caring for animals and supporting the people who hold them dearest. Before founding Bellflower Mobile Pet Aftercare, I spent years working on the front lines of animal care- from serving as a veterinarian assistant, to spending my off-hours pet sitting, to being an exam room technician/adoption specialist at the Arizona Humane Society. Above all, I found that the one thing that get's us all through the tough times with our pets, is the unbreakable bond we have with our beloved companions. I wish to honor that bond between pets and their families. Alongside those years spent at clinics and shelters, I transitioned into specializing full-time in pet loss care as a dedicated memorial artist for a local pet cremation company. In that role, I spent my time refining the delicate and incredibly important art of creating custom paw impressions, nose prints and preserved moments. I learned how every detail matters, because a keepsake isn't just an object, but a tangible connection to a beloved family member. I created Bellflower to bring specialized, gentle care directly to your sanctuary. By combining my clinical background with my artistic experience in memorial art, I work seamlessly alongside your trusted veterinarians and at-home euthanasia providers. My goal is simply: to step in during those heavy moments, take the pressure off your shoulders, and provide an unhurried, peaceful space to create lasting memories. When I am not caring for local families, my passions include crocheting, spending time with my cat Pizza, and my dog Bello (the namesake and inspiration behind Bellflower) and anything crafty. Thank you for trusting me to hold space for your family and honor the companions who give us so much. - Katie McHenry Founder & Care Coordinator
