Pampers Petite Pooches (& Kitties)!
Pet care experience
Looking for a dog walker or an in your home pet sitter for your petite pooch, cat, or other small animal?! I’m just who you're looking for to care for your beloved family member! I refer to myself as the Petite Pooch Pamperer because, well, I truly believe that the littlest of pooches have the biggest hearts of all! I care for toy & small dogs, cats, & other critters (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, fish, etc.) too!

Thank you Kim for the daily pictures and updates.

Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet
I definitely prefer (& absolutely adore!) toy & small dogs, but will take on dogs that weigh up to 40 lbs. However, dogs weighing 30+ lbs will be cared for on a trial basis before I will be able to take them on as regular clients. I am a Maltese expert, with two Maltese of my own, so if you have a Maltese or a Maltese mix, look no further because I'm your gal! ❤️ All furbabies under my care must be up to date on his or her vaccinations or titers & I expect to be made aware of any illnesses your furbaby may have had around the time of his or her stay with me to help me avoid spreading illnesses to other furbabies I may be spending time with as well. Thank you for your cooperation! Please share any information you think will help me in making your petite pooch or other furbaby as comfortable as possible while in my care, which include, but is not limited to: • Allergies • Anxieties or fears • Aggression issues • Interesting quirks
A typical day
Whether walks around the neighborhood, playtime in the yard, or just some needed snuggle time - I customize what would be best for your dog & you & what everyone's daily needs are. All my walks are done individually - no group walks, so your dog is the center of my attention at all times.

Availability
Being an animal lover for as long as I can remember, I am on here wanting to spread my love for animals with those in my community. This isn't my main gig (I run an online graphic design business from home), but seriously, what better way to earn some side income than making your precious fur-family smile? Because I work from home & I make my own hours, my schedule is flexible, so I can provide personalized services for your fur-family at whatever time works best for you, between the hours of 10am & 8pm seven days a week. Because this is a side gig for me, I do not usually have many clients at one time, which puts more focus on you & your fur-family.
