!?!Raised in a Suburban Zoo!?!
Pet care experience
Growing up I've been around many types of animals all my life. From Canines to Felines, Rodents to Mustelids(carnivorous mammals), even Fish to Reptiles. You could just say I was raised in a Suburban Zoo in New Jersey, we had around 6 cats, 5 dogs, 3 birds, fishes, turtle, bearded dragon, ferret, skunk, squirrel, and 20+ rabbits in a time span of 15+ years, who was taught and inspired by my animal loving Mom who has her Masters Degree in Zoology. We've bought, rescued and nursed all of these animals and more. I've experienced a plentiful amount of ups and down, have seen life start and end, from before they had fur/hair, eyes open, hearing or had the strength even to move on their own, to the last expected and unexpected breath. I can't see myself not being around or without animals in my life. Even if some of the pets weren't mine or if they were family members, friends or fostered. I would take my time to give them the food, water and love they needed. I've been there for them like they have been for me, and would really appreciate and be honored to continue this as it's a big mission and pride on for myself. Currently trying to make this my main job. But until I can make enough income from pet care alone I also sell some of my art that I like to do in my free time when I'm not working on school online or housework so I'm pretty flexible scheduling wise. I'm willing to come to my clients home and take care of their pets like they're my own. Hoping and planning to be able to watch pets at my place once I get a house of my own instead of renting an apartment.
Reviews
Kim did an amazing job! She gave us updates and was super sweet! Would definitely hire her again!
Kim was an amazing dog sitter! She followed any instructions or routines we had given her and made sure to give us plenty of updates and pictures of our fur baby while we were away! She let my and wife I be able to enjoy our time away without too much worrying about our boy! Thank you, Kim!
Kim has been such a great help with our babies! She has been checking in on our Great Dane, Boerboel, and kitty for almost a year now and we know when we head out of town she will be there!! She is very reliable and always gives updates while we are gone.
Kim went above and beyond to take care of our fur babies during a very difficult time for our family. She took all worry and anxiety off my shoulders. I will definitely rebook with Kim and suggest her to everyone. I cannot express how pleased with her service.

I care for clients pets as if they were my own, I love knowing they're getting the best care possible and living a wonderful life!
Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special needs and/or behaviors your pet may have or need. For example, if they're allergic/sensitive to anything, don't like being petted/touched in certain spots, or anything else so I can provide the best care possible for your pet and for my safety. Am also willing to inject medication if needed, will just need to be shown and taught how, as personally have not had the opportunity to do so recently.
A typical day
Me myself enjoy playing and just generally being around dogs, cats and most other animals. Also admire knowing that our furry four-legged and others friends are being well taken care of and loved on properly.

Availability
I'm more or less available for the time being except for some weekdays (rarely weekends) as I have a reoccurring job from 9am-2pm, but am able to compromise on a time possibly before or afterwards. For all intents and purposes I could also be by then booked up, working on school/skills or have a special occasion required to attend but hoping I could make Rover/Pet Care if not the but a main source of income. Especially nowadays am in need for more opportunities to bring in some additional money, with having a newer car lease payment, the price of living expenses rising and wanting to save up to buy a house including a yard for my pup and to possibly be able to watch pets from. But if it benefits the both of us I could be willing to have a little flexibility with my rates, if it means getting to help out pets in need or an increase in repeating business.
