I'm currently a part time graduate student, and most of my classes are online so I'll have plenty of time to give your cat or dog the attention and care they deserve. I currently take my boyfriend's two dogs out at 6 AM every morning, so any time after 7 AM and before 7 PM is ideal for drop ins, walks, feedings, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

I try to keep pets as comfortable and stress-free as possible by sticking closely to their normal routine. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty habits, medications if needed, and making sure they’re getting enough attention, exercise, and affection while their owner is away. For cats, I’m very used to monitoring behavior, appetite, water intake, and litter box habits since I have three of my own, including two seniors. I know some cats need space at first while others want constant attention, so I adjust based on their personality and comfort level. I’m also comfortable handling things like hairballs, accidents, or cleaning up if they’re not feeling well. For dogs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, and interaction throughout the day. I regularly help walk and care for my boyfriend’s dogs when he works long shifts, so I’m used to keeping up with high-energy dogs as well as more stubborn personalities. I’m comfortable with cleanup, bath time, minor wound care, and making sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for in both my home and theirs. I make sure to update or ask permission from the owners if there are any deviations.

Pet care experience

Hi. I go by Kimmy! I think what sets me apart most is that I genuinely enjoy being around animals and I’m very comfortable handling both the fun and messy parts of pet care. I’m especially experienced with cats — I currently have three of my own, including two that I adopted as seniors and one kitten I raised from 8 weeks old. That’s given me experience with everything from energetic kittens to older cats that need extra patience, monitoring, and gentle care. I’m also comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’ve helped care for stubborn corgis, abandoned 5-month-old puppies, and pitbull mixes. When my boyfriend works long days, I regularly take his dogs out for walks up to six times a day because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they get enough exercise and attention. I’m not squeamish or easily overwhelmed, so I’m comfortable handling things like accidents, litter boxes, hairballs, vomit, bath time, medications, minor wound care, and cleaning up after pets when they’re not feeling well. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and bathroom habits because I know those small details can matter. I try to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

Hae Rin “Kimmy” was absolutely amazing while taking care of my pets during my vacation. I have one cat and two boxers, and from the very beginning she was incredibly reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. She stopped by consistently at the same times every day to feed my cat twice a day, clean the litter box, check on him, and spend time with him so he wouldn’t feel lonely while I was away. My cat can be picky with people, but he warmed up to Kimmy surprisingly quickly, which honestly told me everything I needed to know. She also took incredible care of my two boxers. Anyone with large dogs knows they need a lot of attention, exercise, and patience, and Kimmy handled them so well. She took them on regular walks, made sure they stayed on their routine, gave them plenty of attention, and clearly cared about keeping them comfortable and happy instead of just doing the bare minimum. She also sent me regular updates and photos throughout the trip, which made me feel so much more relaxed being away from home. One thing I appreciated most was how dependable and observant she was. She noticed small things about my pets’ moods and routines, communicated well, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. When I came back from vacation, my pets were calm, happy, and very obviously well cared for. Usually my dogs get anxious when I’m gone for extended periods, but they seemed completely comfortable and settled when I got home, which really says a lot about the care and attention Kimmy gave them. I would absolutely trust Kimmy with my pets again and honestly cannot recommend her enough. She’s responsible, communicative, patient, and genuinely wonderful with animals.
