Highlights
Pet care experience
Pampers Petite Pets!
Looking for a dependable dog walker or in-home pet sitter for your petite pup, cat, or small pet? I’d love to care for your furry family member as if they were my own. I specialize in toy & small dogs weighing up to 20 lbs & also provide loving care for cats & small pets, including rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, & fish. As a lifelong animal lover with 28 years of hands-on pet care experience, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, & needs. That’s why I take the time to provide individualized care, whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm, reassuring companion while you’re away. I intentionally keep a smaller client list so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. My goal is for both you & your pet to feel comfortable, confident, & cared for from our first meet & greet through your return home. Whether I’m taking your little pup for a walk, visiting your cat, or caring for another beloved small pet, you can expect dependable communication, thoughtful care, photo updates, & plenty of love along the way.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that trusting someone with your pet — & your home — is a big decision. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable & stress-free as possible for both you & your furry family member. Every pet receives individualized care based on their routine, personality, & needs. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, quiet companionship, or simply keeping to their normal schedule, I’ll tailor each visit to help them feel safe, comfortable, & cared for while you’re away. For everyone’s comfort, I require a meet & greet before accepting new clients. This gives us the opportunity to get to know one another, discuss your pet’s routine, answer any questions, & make sure we’re a great fit. For additional peace of mind, I also carry my own professional pet sitting insurance through PCI in addition to Rover’s protections. My Experience Includes: • 28 years of caring for my own pets, including dogs, rabbits, & other small animals. • 9 years of caring for clients’ cats in their homes. • Dog walking & drop-in visits for toy & small dogs. • Caring for cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish, & other small pets while their families are away. Services May Include: • Individualized walks (never group walks) • Feeding & fresh water • Playtime & companionship • Cuddles (if your pet enjoys them!) • Litter box cleaning • Medication, when needed • Photo updates • Mail retrieval • Plant watering • Light rotation • Customized care based on your pet’s routine Please note: I do not offer overnight pet sitting. Holiday & premium Christmas pricing apply & are reflected in my Rover rates. If you have any questions about my services or think I’d be a good fit for your pet, I’d love to hear from you!
Ratings and reviews
Takes great care of our fur babies!
Excellent communication and help for my cat. Thank you
Kim did a fantastic job. She fed Creme, gave her meds, refilled her water and made sure she was safe. Thank you for doing a wonderful job, as always!
Kim's the best!
Kim is super reliable and does a fantastic job watching my cat, creme. She has been cat sitting for nearly 3 years and does a fantastic job. Thank you Kim!
Traveling is always bittersweet because we hate leaving Dale. However, having Kim as a sitter makes the anxiety of leaving that much easier. We do appreciate Kim and how she cares for Dale.

Schedule
Because I work from home, I’m able to offer a flexible daytime schedule & can often accommodate visits between 10:00 AM & 4:30 PM, seven days a week. I intentionally keep a smaller client list so I can provide each pet with personalized, unhurried care & give every visit the attention it deserves. Please don’t hesitate to reach out, even if Rover shows that I’m unavailable on a particular day. My calendar may be blocked for a variety of reasons, & I may still be able to accommodate your request depending on the timing & your pet’s needs.
- Cats0 to 15 lbsKim can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- To help ensure the best experience for everyone, there are a few things I’d like to know before booking. I specialize in toy & small dogs weighing up to 20 lbs. As the proud owner of two Maltese, I’m especially familiar with the unique needs of toy breeds & always enjoy meeting fellow little pups — especially Maltese & Maltese mixes! For the health & safety of all the pets in my care, I ask that pets be current on their vaccinations (or have appropriate titers, when applicable). Please also let me know if your pet has recently been ill or exposed to a contagious illness. Because I care for multiple pets across different households and also have a medically vulnerable dog at home, I take precautions to reduce exposure to contagious illnesses such as parvovirus & other communicable conditions. For this reason, I am unable to accept dogs who regularly attend doggy daycare. To help me provide the best possible care, please share anything you’d like me to know about your pet, including: • Allergies or medical conditions • Medications or special care instructions • Fears, anxieties, or triggers • Behavioral concerns • Favorite toys, games, or treats • Daily routine & feeding schedule • Leash manners & walk preferences (for dogs) • Anything else that will help your pet feel comfortable & at home while you’re away The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care to your pet’s individual personality & needs.
