Animal Behaviorist Loves Your Pets!

Pet care experience

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 really good at communicating, consistently provided pictures and updates. Our dog was well care for. She followed our walking and feeding schedule perfectly

Kim gave me good feedback on how things were going with Cinnamon, along with pictures. Cinnamon seemed to have enjoyed her stay and I am thankful that Kim made accommodations for Cinnamon's middle of the night wake-ups.

Kim was an exceptional dog sitter for our fur-baby! From the moment we dropped off our baby, we knew he was in good hands. Kim provided regular updates and even sent us adorable pictures of our dog enjoying his stay. It was evident that our pet was well taken care of and received plenty of attention and love. We couldn't have asked for a better first-time experience. We highly recommend Kim to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter and look forward to booking again really soon!
