16. Kimberly T.
About: My name is Kimberly and I am currently 30 years old - my husband and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since we were children, however I moved to working with dogs professionally at the age of 20; I have enjoyed every moment since! We recently moved to Elyria however previously lived in Cleveland Heights where I worked at a local dog boarding and daycare center where I was responsible for the well being of upwards of 35-50 dogs, ensuring each and every dog was able to relax in their new environment, providing all meals and medication as well as ensuring the safety of all social dogs in a group together. This position gave me the most valuable knowledge possible and has solidified my idea that stress free care is one of the most important things we can do for the pets entrusted in our care. We currently own 3 cats and they are all our world and best friends. While I love all animals, dogs are my true passion and I have extensive experience with many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, energy drives, worker breeds/service dogs, etc. I am also able to provide you with the comfort of knowing all medications and health needs will be met, as I have plenty of experience providing care for senior/health compromised dogs that follow a strict medication/feeding schedule. I am very comfortable with administering shots, pill shoots as well as old fashion 'pilling' a dog with some PB! After the pandemic and working an office job remotely for 2 years, I have stepped aside from that life and am looking to focus more on spending my days enjoying my passion: taking care of your pup! My husband has a full time work schedule however this is my full time position - you don't need to worry about my schedule pulling me in different directions. I treat house-sitting as if I am working from home and I will not be away from your pets for very long. If we are in your home you can find peace in the fact that not only your pets will be safe but your home is protected as well! We treat others homes just as sacredly as ones pets and we are more than happy to take in all mail/packages, water your plants, be home for any needed maintenance and we are there to alert you of any home changes or emergencies! We also have extensive knowledge of what to do for all weather emergencies as well such as tornado warnings, winter storms, heavy flooding etc and you can rest easy on your vacation knowing that your pet is safe and all steps are taken to ensure your home and pet will stay protected.
