Kim can care for
Availability
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.

About Kim B.
Communication
Skills
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!
Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I customize each visit to fit their personality, routine, & needs. For dogs, that may mean a leisurely neighborhood walk, playtime in the yard, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I never schedule group walks, so your dog always has my full attention. For cats & other small pets, visits are tailored to their comfort level. Whether they enjoy interactive play, quiet companionship, or simply having their routine maintained, I’ll provide the care they need while respecting their individual personality. No matter which service you book, my goal is always the same: to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, & loved while giving you peace of mind through dependable care & photo updates.
