Safety, trust & environment

I am very concencious and will follow owners instructions. I would keep the house nice and tidy and walk dogs on their leads as a safety precaution. Check water dish and feed as per requirements. Lots of playtime and cuddles

Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet

I have experience in medicating dogs as my shih tzu contracted meningitis and needed medication morning and night and then eventually could only go out for walks in a doggy pram

A typical day

Do basic sit, stay for a treat. Go for nice long walks so they can explore all the smells. Play fetch with a ball in an enclosed area. Groom them and just generally play and interact . lots of cuddles.

Responsible animal lover

Pet care experience

I am passionate about all animals. Very experienced dog and cat sitter. Patient, kind and loving. Enjoy playtime and walking dogs. And cuddles if they let you.Very reliable and animals seem to take a real liking to me as I am very calm natured. I have had dogs all my life, various breeds. I'm a keen outdoors enthusiast and a retired individual with an appreciation for life, especially when it involves a good walk or enjoying nature. Trustworthiness and reliability are second nature to me, something I believe is crucial when looking after someone's home and pets. I've grown up with dogs, raising huskies from pups to their senior years, and have often looked after pets for family and friends. I’m here to ensure your home and pets are cared for with great attention and kindness, drawing on my years of experience and genuine love for animals. References from Trusted House Sitter: My experience with Kim was excellent! Communication was easy, highly responsive and left me with no worries at all. My home and animals seemed very happy and in order on my return. My dog was tired out from walks, and my cat had seemingly become a lot more sociable!! Something I didn’t expect at all. Kim made leaving my home and animals entirely stress-free - highly recommended 😁 Rachael. #2: Kim was a great sitter. Friendly and easy. Quick to respond. Sent great pictures of my dog and two cats and left my house beautifully clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending her as a sitter. Harriett

Kim is such a wonderful sitter. She adapts to the quirks and needs of our dog with care and patience. She took Koa on great walks which he loves. She sends daily photos and comments on the day which is so appreciated 😌. Koa always greets her for a new stay with joy and excitement. We are so thankful to have found her!!!

Kim was absolutely wonderful with our 3 pets. They clearly loved her. She was a perfect house ‘guest’ and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
