Pet Parent and Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I have loved & cared for numerous animals throughout my life. Knowing that I have experience with dogs and cats of my own, many friends & neighbors have trusted me to care for their fur babies while they were away. I currently have two cats- Nancy & Hitchcock, and a dog-Jingle. I have experience with animals aside from cats & dogs, feel free to reach out should you need care for anyone else and I will be more than happy to discuss. 😺🐢🐀🐩🐕🦜🐠
Reviews
Kim has been our go to baby sitter for our two cats! She cares deeply for our cats and leaves the house in great shape! She even went above and beyond to go back to our house after her daily visit to check on one cat as we suspected that our cleaning lady accidentally locked him in the attic. She is reliable and trustworthy and we know our fur babies are in great hands!
Kim was great with my older dog Kipper She gave her a good walk was really communicative and flexible when my schedule changed Will definitely use again. Thanks Kin!
Kim and Thomas always do such a lovely job caring for our cat, Izzy. We’ve booked with them many times now, and every experience has been very smooth. They are communicative and kind people and I can’t recommend them enough!
Kim & Thomas A. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.

I will follow your specific instructions as to how you wish to have your animals cared for, within reason of course, happy to discuss your specific care needs in advance, feel free to send a message with any questions. I am not currently able to offer any services in my home. I am able to take your dog(s) for a leashed walk as long as there is a safe, well-lit route easily accessible by foot from your home. If you would like me to let your dog(s) out in the backyard and throw around a ball/other favorite toys, I am happy to do that as well. I do not ever take dogs to dog parks & avoid other dogs as best I am able to while on leashed walks. If your cat needs someone to make sure that they are fed and get some snuggles & playtime while you are away, I am your person. I have experience administering medications in pill form to cats and dogs of all sizes. I also have experience caring for the special needs of senior dogs, including administering liquid eye medications. If your animal needs a medication form that I do not currently have experience with, I am open to learning the proper method from you, feel free to reach out to discuss your specific circumstance. In addition to the insurance provided by Rover, I am privately insured with PCI Pet Care Insurance.
Information Kim & Thomas A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any and all information you think I might need to know about your pet(s)! If he/she has a favorite toy, is or is not allowed treats, any allergies, is there a certain tv commercial I need to make sure doesn't come on because it might spook them? You know your fur babies best, please provide me with any and all relevant information that will assist me in keeping them happy and providing the best care possible.
A typical day
I will go wherever you advise me to take your dog, within reason. If that is a mile walk on the streets around your home, sounds great to me! If there is a specific trail that your pup prefers, awesome! Let me know. I like to keep as close to your regular routine as possible. If they have a favorite toy or treats, I'd love to know about that. For cats, each of them has unique needs and no two days are the same. On average, most visits consist of feeding/ changing water dish/ scooping the litterbox & some playtime & treats if time allows.
