Smart, fun and energetic.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my whole life. Growing up in a family of five it was always hectic and I always took care of the dogs we had because I treated them like they were part of the family and always made sure they were happy and healthy. I understand dogs and their needs and I am not afraid of any new situations handed to me and I can handle energetic dogs to very calm quiet dogs. I adapt well to new dogs and for some reason, even the scared ones always want to be around me. I am not afraid of dogs barking or growling at me, I know what to do in those kind of cases. I am a huge animal lover and knowing I can help anyone out with their pets while their away on vacation or business trips makes this experience even better. I know the guilt when you have to leave your dog for a good amount of time on a daily notice because of work, priorities or just your daily tasks that you can't take your dog with you. That's why I am here to help. I am here to look after your dog, making sure they are fed, happy, getting their exercise, and having a companion while your away. Once you come back after that work trip or vacation your dog will be so thrilled to see you the guilt washes away knowing your dog was in good hands. Let me help you out and make sure your dog is well taken care of. I do work a full time job Monday through Friday so I won't be able to watch any dogs till after 6pm those days. The weekends I will have no problem watching dogs

My furball really enjoyed having Kim as our guest sitter. Kim was vey warm and kind and just the best companion while I had to be out of town.

Kim took great care of our dogs, and great care of the house. She was responsive to our texts and sent photos. It was a huge relief knowing we didn't have to worry about anything, especially since one of our dogs required daily medication and was stubborn to eat. She did great! Will definitely use her again. Thanks Kim!

Information Kim B. would like to know about your pet

I work a full time job M-F so I can't watch a dog till after 6 during the week I have no breed preferences. I do not watch cats, only dogs. I would like to know the dogs medical history (any medications they require, flea meds, whether their allergic to anything outside) I also would like to know what they like and dislike, if they are afraid of certain environment's. I believe not pressuring a dog to something they never have been exposed to yet without their owner with them. I need to know if they are kid friendly so I know where the right areas to take them on walks, hikes, beach visits etc.. Finally what there diet restrictions are and their daily eating habits.

A typical day

I always will take dogs to parks, the beach, dog parks so they can socialize and play, take them on my hikes with me if the owners allow it, I go running all the time so I would love to take the dogs running because that's a great way to get their energy out and they are more calm and quiet at the end of the day.
