Sup, pup parents! I’m Kim, a genuine, dedicated pet lover, pet caregiver and pet groomer with many years of experience. I’m honored to have the opportunity to care for your precious furry people! Beginning July 2022, I went from caring for animals part-time to caring for animals full-time. I have an endless amount of experience in a multitude of career choices. All my experiences have led me to today, caring for animals in any capacity. I’m originally from Mississippi. I graduated from Ole Miss. Lived in Nashville, Tennessee, for four years. I lived in Utah for 28 years. And I moved to South Carolina, September, 2024, just before Hurricane Helene welcomed me to the area! I’ve owned and operated several businesses (preschools/daycare centers, a life coaching practice, and a gift shop). Along with business ownership, I have worked in additional fields such as advertising, marketing, sales, and public relations. I have worked with and I have cared for over 350 different dogs in the past two and a half years (July will be three years). Like people, each and every pup is different, so each and every booking comes with more experience that helps me learn and grow. I’m able to customize the care for each doggie. I’ve received some professional training for different dog breeds, temperaments, behavioral responses, and dog grooming. I receive additional education from a multitude of resources, all to ensure your babies are safe, comfortable and happy. In my lifetime I have had lots of different pets in my home, from being a child up until now. My first pet was a grey Mini Schnauzer named Gretchen. Other dogs: Scarlett the Irish Setter, Shawn the Irish Setter, Wrigley the white Lab, Mandy the Cocker Spaniel, Jackson the black and white Shi Tzu, Sam the English cream Golden Retriever, Chrissy the belenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Manning the ruby Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Currently I have Gibson a Tan and white Shih Tzu and Jenny a grey and white Shih Tzu Poodle mix. They are the loves of my life! I’ve also had LOTS of cats over the years. A few of the cats were: Sugar, Oreo, Dexter, Nala, Jack, Greyson, and my Claire Bear. December of 2024, I had to put down my 15 yr baby girl kitty, Claire. I’m still mourning her loss. I’ve also had other types of pets: a ferret, hamsters, guinea pig, fancy rats, turtle, tarantula, corn snake, parakeets, and of course fish! Prior to moving to South Carolina, I boarded dogs, I provided doggie daycare, I did drop-ins, and I groomed dogs. I was living with my son, daughter-in-love, and two granddaughters, (the reasons I moved here), from Sep to Dec 2024, and then mid December, I found a mobile home in the country with LOTS of land! I am working towards getting my business booming again! My new place isn’t fancy for humans, yet it’s a haven for pups! It’s not French Country, it’s just country! Dogs will be indoors receiving LOTS of love and attention. I have an enclosed area on the front porch and I have a large deck in the back, so there are plenty of spaces to roam around and play. I’m situated on two acres of land. Depending on a dog’s training level, we will either play in the yard or take walks around on the property. A large secured fenced-in area will be completed by the end of May. ---------- Services Provided 1. Pup Boarding & Pup Play for the Day 2. Pup Pop-ins 3. Pup Pampering (Grooming) Pup Boarding & Pup Play for the Day Stay overnight or doggie daycare to come play for the day Pup Pop-ins Coming to your home for 30 or 60 mins at a time Pup Pampering (Grooming) Basic grooming (pre-bath prep, bath, blow dry, & trim). Additional grooming services also available ---------- I have skills handling all types of temperaments, like high-energy pets for example. I have experience with non-neutered/non-spayed dogs, administering medication, calming anxious animals, providing medical care, training, grooming, separation anxiety, play activities, and so much more. I’m available seven days a week. If I work on Sundays, I try to have that day a little more relaxed and low-key, just so the dogs and myself can have a little down time and a break. I’ll only do one grooming a day. I’ll do two if the dogs are already boarding with me. Sometimes a groom may be spread out between two days, all depends on the dog. I’ve groomed about 75 different dogs with several of those dogs being groomed more than once. I’ve had schooling for grooming, yet the more dogs I groom, the better I get! I have a love for life that includes things and activities like: spending time with my granddaughters; grooming my own dogs; playing board and card games; acrylic painting; diamond art; anything crafty; decorating; gift wrapping; football (especially my Ole Miss Rebels); and of course stopping to pet any dog or animal that is within six feet! So please reach out with any questions you may have! I miss all of my former clients, especially the ones I got to care for daily and weekly! Hoping to love on some new furries soon! Whenever you need help while you’re away at work, while you’re away on vacation, or while you’re away for any event or any reason, I hope I’m your choice for pet care. I’d be delighted to care for your love bugs in any capacity!
