Dr. Kathy Backus

Veterinary Technician

Yááťééh. I was born and raised in Page Arizona. I joined the Page Animal Clinic’s staff because I love being able to help animals and see them rejuvenate into their true healthy and happy forms.


I was originally approached by Dr. Roundtree, to which he immediately asked me to come to work for him, which was about 9 years ago. Dr Roundtree served as a friend and mentor where I learned everything from blood draws, x-rays, vaccinations, to lots of other patient care techniques, all from him. I joined this specific practice because Page is my home, and I like living in a small town. I was especially interested in the Page clinic because it’s located in the town where I grew up in and I want my kids to grow up here as well. My specific focus is assisting the Doctors in surgery and doing dental cleanings.


I have two kids, Noah and Delilah, that are my world. When we’re not traveling, I’m watching them play sports. We like to hike, travel, have game nights, movie nights, and just do anything together. We have an orange cat that we adopted from Shelley at
Pampered Pets named Gerald Heraldo Bity Jaii Hatathli. Gerald is very spoiled and incredibly loved. As a family we love to take him on hikes and any other familial adventures.
