Pet care experience
Hello and welcome 🐾 You can see more pictures on my business FB *Kimistry Petsitting and Petcare* How I run my petsitting business and then a long blurb about me: Some petsitters charge per animal for the same amount of time in care. I charge for my time, so as long as I can care properly for everyone in 30 minutes then the fee is the same. As for cats, I only charge extra when there are 4 or more litter boxes. For this reason I have cats as an extra add on, but I remove it if there's not a reason for it. I've been using Rover to offer petsitting for 7 years now (since 2018). This has been my hobby and side hustle since becoming a stay-at-home parent. Prior to becoming that I have always had a passion for anything that involved animals, so naturally I worked in animal centered businesses, and you probably guessed it, my dream job would to be a veterinarian. Sometimes I wonder if it's too late 🥹 I have over 10 years of professional experience working with dogs, and cats. I was a personal dog nanny for 8 years, a vet assistant at 2 vet hospitals (I dealt with assisting in the exam room as well as hanging out in surgeries), and a doggie daycare. I have very little fear of dogs and lots of exerperience with multiple breeds and sizes. I have cared for several friend's dogs of all sizes, and have fostered several dogs over the years. I have well over 20 years of personal experience with animals as I've always been an avid animal lover. We are a military family, and reside in Raeford. We will be here for a long time! Which makes me very happy to be able to set down roots. Thank you for your time and I hope to meet you and your pets ❤️
Reviews
Kim was excellent! I was so worried about leaving my senior, partially blind cat, Timmy. However, Kim dropped in daily & tended to his every need. The peace of mind was priceless!!!!
Love Kim and so do the dogs!!! She’s amazing and great at keeping you updated with your fur babies!
We are so grateful to Kim for taking care of Kira while we were away! Kira is a very shy and fearful rescue dog who has had a tough adjustment period, and Kim was so calm, patient, and professional the entire time. Kim showed incredible care, understanding, and experience in handling a challenging dog with compassion. She kept us updated regularly and made sure Kira was safe, fed, and as comfortable as possible. We truly appreciate her patience and kindness. Thank you again, Kim!
So grateful for Kim! She was super helpful and flexible when it came to making sure my dog was taken care of.
About Kim B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is a number 1 priority. All pets are monitored outside to ensure animals stay safe and contained. When boarding at my home dogs are on leashes when going outdoors until I know they're comfortable and not going to try to leave the fence on me. I have a 6ft privacy fence, and it is secure, however I don't take for granted that some dogs can climb or dig if scared. Collars are always checked as well prior to walks to ensure safety. If I feel the collar is too loose, I will use a slip leash.
Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has behaviors that might compromise their safety or others. For instance, is reactive to other animals, children, or certain attire (ie, hats, are a common fear/aggressive response). I have experience with many breeds, and range of personalities in dogs. Please let me know if they're escape artists.
A typical day
Pets will get loads of attention to their liking during visits, whether that's playing ball, or tug-of-war, lots of pets, or just hanging out in the sunshine and the a/c.

Availability
Rover is my only job, and I'm really flexible on visit times. If I open back up to boarding dogs can be let out as often as they need. We just do park and grocery runs.
