Fun, caring, lover of all animals!
Pet care experience
I have grown up taking care of all kinds of animals from rabbits and hamsters and lizards to cats and dogs. I ran a very successful dog walking/ sitting service in West Yellowstone Montana for 4 years before relocating back to South Florida where I was born and raised. In Montana I specialize in hiking and working with bird dogs and retrievers for hunting. But I also cater to taking the family pup out for walks or a swim. Whatever your dog loves to do, is what i love to do with them! I have experience in training puppies and working with older pets and dogs with special needs. I am also a professional in the game of "Chuck It"!
Reviews
Kim is an amazing part of the day for Busby, Pony, Oscar, Stella, Charlie, and Cameran. She loves each one like her own, and they are always ecstatic to see her. She is very intuitive if one is feeling sick, or has a sore foot or other complaint. We are super lucky that she wants to hang out with this menagerie!
Kim has cared for 2 of our dogs now, both totally different temperaments, ages and breed. She looked after our chocolate lab when she was sick and made sure she was comfortable and well loved in her final weeks before she passed. Since then she has shown the same love, patients and care for our new addition, Maple; a wild boarder collie, GSP puppy. Kim is always professional and respectful. She understands that each dog is different and caters to those needs. She also enforces the training and other habits that we practice at home. All of the dogs Kim cares for become part of her family.
Kim is so good!! She is super sweet with Yogi but also firm so he doesn't come back with any bad habits. Yogi would stare out the glass door, every Tuesday waiting for her to pick him up and would RUN to her car and jump in ready for their next adventure. The first time, (and every time after) he was so sad watching her drive away, staring out the door and I knew she was amazing. We never felt like she was just doing a job. She made us feel like she LOVED him and it meant everything to us. 100% recommend.
Hi Kim is an amazing person. I have a pet supply store/dog walking business and I referred a lot of people to her. Everyone loves her dogs included. She has watched my dogs and has done a wonderful job. Especially since my blue healer is a handful and doesn't like anybody( except Kim). This made it nice to be able to leave town and know my healer and house were safe with Kim. Anyone would be lucky to have her. I wish she was still around.

Home
Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet
General personality. Are they skittish or friendly? Are they good with other dogs (I love doing puppy play dates!)? Any phobias of cars, thunder, rain that would require calming treats or a thunder shirt? Are they crated or allowed to be on furniture? Do they have any special needs or require medication? Anything pertinent to my taking the best care of them I can!
A typical day
I cater the visit to what your dog likes to do. I can pick them up and we can venture to the dog park for a good game of ball or frisbee. If your dog is older or not so high energy we can take a nice walk around the neighborhood. I will cater to whatever they like to do!
