Pet care experience
Dogs in my care become new friends and I treat them as my own. I have a 13 year old schnoodle who is the third dog I’ve had. I primarily work from home and am also a counselor for pet owners. Therefore my schedule is flexible and I make my own hours. I have tons of experience with dogs. I am a foster for a local dog rescue and have had several foster pups in my home. A few years ago I took in a hospice adoption which was life changing. I am passionate about senior dogs. I always make sure dogs in my care are active and am at the local dog park daily. There isn’t a situation I haven’t encountered with my own dogs or dogs I previously sat for. This includes senior dogs, chronic illness, medications, special diets, separation anxiety, aggression, resource guarding, puppies, high energy, dogs in heat, house breaking issues.
Reviews
Kim did a great job caring for our dog for a few days! We had an initial pup meet up which helped a lot for the stay, and Kim sent updates throughout including great pics! Nova was happy when we picked her up and would definitely use Kim again!
Kim was very responsive and flexible. She gave regular updates and I knew Juno was in good hands.
Kim was the best dogsitter I’ve had. She was really flexible with when I could drop Moose off and pick him up, she was very comfortable around him and knowledgeable. She was also super patient with him as he was getting acclimated to her space and other dogs. Moose had a really great time and we’re excited to come back.
Kim was wonderful! So caring and thoughtful and made sure our Honey had a great vacation. Very attentive and communicative.
About Kim B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I watch dogs in my home closely and follow whatever rules dog owners use for their own dogs. Your dog can be crated if needed and will only go off leash if the owner and myself are confident your dog will not run or put other dogs at risk. I have several dog beds, bowls and lots of toy options.
Home
Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet
Your dog must get along with other dogs. At a minimum, my dog will be present and there may be other dogs boarding. Please advise if dog requires crate or has separation anxiety. If your dog has specific instructions, ie, allergy, special diet, barks when alone.
A typical day
Multiple walks per day, trips to various dog parks especially Boston Common, occasionally Charles River Esplanade, Christopher Columbus Park. Some other activities: fetch for pups who love to retrieve, play at home with various toy options, snuggles on the couch. Dogs can sleep on my bed.
