Information Kim D. would like to know about your pet

I find out as much information about the pet (s) as I can. Normal questions which include feeding, exercise, sleeping, medications and bathroom habits. I ask random questions like car rides, dog parks, pet stores, grooming , and any thing else pertaining to care of that particular dog (s) or cat (s).

A typical day

I ask about a million questions to the owners to find out what likes and dislikes their pet (s)has. I include familiar forms of activity for the Dog (s) or Cat(s) because that keeps them in their comfort zone (might already be a little stressed from mom and dad being gone). Any new activities (new toy or trip to dog park (a few in my area)) I always get permission from the client (s) before doing so. I always have the cat's or dog's safety and wellbeing in mind

Caring and Loving Your Furbabies

Pet care experience

Always had pets (dogs and cats) growing up. Eight plus years working in a Pet Care Environment... Bathing, Doggie Daycare, Dog Walking,, and Boarding.... Many happy 2 and 4 legged Clients for many plus years I have recently retired from my full time job so I have plenty of time to take care of your furbabies within your home... an environment that they already feel comfortable and loved in.. with plenty of time for walks in surrounding areas or explore new areas (dog parks in my local area), play time inside and outside, plenty of love and cuddles and rest time... Follow strict instructions given by parents when comes to feeding, exercise, medications,, and sleep patterns. Always putting dog (s) and cat(s) safety and well-being first always.

Kim was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats and our dog. We were on a 3-week trip, and it meant so much to have someone so dedicated and responsive taking care of our babies and our home while we were away. She was extremely communicative throughout, and she left our house cleaner than it was when we left. It's clear that Kim genuinely loves each animal she works with, and I would absolutely recmmend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
