Pet care experience

Animal Behaviorist Loves Your Pets!

With me, your pet is in the hands of an experienced handler. I have kept and worked with dogs, cats, and exotic animals over my lifetime. I understand what your pets basic needs are, as well as what excites and stimulates them. My schedule allows me to cater my time around the needs of my client so both the owner and the pets! I have a dog park in my neighborhood and plenty of private spaces. Cats are more than welcome, too! I have a private room that pets can relax in, away from the movement of the rest of the house. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and have dedicated my life to understanding all about them.

Kim was so great. I think Marie was disappointed that it was us coming home the next day. Marie and us cannot wait for Kim next visit.

Kim was kind with Forrest. Convenient drop off and pick up. She has watches in a couple of times now and we are so thankful.

Had good experiences in the past but my dog reeked of urine when I picked her up after only 2 days

Schedule

I wake up early to make sure I can plan my whole day accordingly. Dogs get walked before breakfast, before bed, and as many times in-between as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have plenty of space in my home so boarding is a pleasure. I love caring for the pets of others the way I would my own. I ensure any care instructions are diligently followed, providing photos and updates throughout. I've also provided photos of my space and dog room!

A typical day

Lots of walks around the neighborhood, ball or Kong stick throwing, trick training or just watching TV ok the couch, and maybe even a good brushing. A big, fenced back yard means as much play time as your dog can handle.
