Pet care experience

I love spending time with animals!

I have been lucky enough to take care of my friends' and families' pets for over 15 years. It can be hard on pets when their people are away. I appreciate that, and take extra care in making sure their schedules are kept and they get the love and attention they need to make them feel secure and happy. I often take care of my brother's 11 year old german shepherd, three cats, 6 chickens, and my nephew's beta fish while my brother and his family are away. I have watched many of my friends' dogs and cats (some with medical needs) as well as a sweet blue-cheeked conure. I am almost always available, and I feel comfortable giving medication in any form if necessary.

Safety, trust & environment

I respect your pets daily routine. If your animals need extra care, such as medication, I have experience administering them. I’m able to give as many potty breaks as your pups need and make sure they get a lot of attention.

Kim did a great job watching my dog and cat! I had to book her on short notice and my dog was having some health issues, but Kim was confident and attentive. She sent lots of updates and photos, which was very appreciated.

Kim was a great pet-sitter for my dog and cat while I was away visiting family for a few days. I was nervous about leaving anybody the responsibility of caring for my pets while I was gone for 5 days. I might have worse separation anxiety than they do! Kim was calm, flexible, and demonstrated that she would take the role seriously. After our meet and greet and continued communication, it was clear Kim could handle things. While I was away, Kim provided a morning and an evening update for me about the pets, featuring photos. If I wanted more updates or had a concern, she was a text message away with a quick response. Because of Kim, I was able to enjoy rare time away visiting family. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kim to anybody else who needs a good pet-sitter. Also, I came home to an apartment that was cleaner than I left it! Another reason Kim was amazing.

Kim, was a perfect, and I do mean perfect, dog sitter and house guest. She sent multiple photos of our dog each day and spent lots of time throughout the day with her. Our dog was thrilled to have such an active and attentive companion. She was very responsive via messages and met up with us beforehand. The entire trip we felt at ease knowing our old girl was being so well taken care of. We returned home to a spotless house, happy dog, and clean sheets in our guest room. We couldn't recommend Kim highly enough.

This was our first experience with rover and Kim really put my mind at ease. Excellent communication before hand and during her stay. Our animals all seemed happy and cared for and I never worried while away. Our house was exactly how left it, very tidy, she even washed the sheets!

Kim took care of our three pups while we were aware for the weekend. She stayed the night with them and took care of all their needs. We would definitely hire her again!

I can’t recommend Kim enough! As soon as we met her we felt comfortable leaving our puppy and our home in her hands. She sent so many pictures upon request and kept us updated the whole time. Will absolutely be requesting Kim’s services again!

I would like to know the temperament of your dog, how long do they take to adjust to a new person. Are they comfortable with other dogs, if you like them to go to a dog park, for example? What are their medical requirements, dietary restrictions?
