Pet care experience

home full time, love dogs!!

I'm patient and I love all dogs. I've owned dogs for over 20 years. I have trained them, kept them on a schedule that is healthy for them. I will play with them and walk them(run with them). I have a friendly Golden retriever named, Ruby. My girls love dogs as well and will love them. We have plenty of love to give and will take good care of the dogs that come into our home or that we visit. I am home during the day and most nights. We currently doggy sit our friends' dogs at different times when they go on vacation and such and enjoy their company. Dogs are important to us and are like one of the family. We take them with us everywhere we can. Our Golden is very socialized and loves other dogs. I can certainly work with puppies and all dogs yound and old on basic manners and training. Regular exercise and positive encouragement goes a long way.

Kim has been our petsitter for several years and always does a wonderful job. She is reliable and stays in communication. Our dogs love her! We have peace of mind when we travel, knowing our boys are in Kim's care. She also makes sure all is well with our house in general too. Thank you, Kim!

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets they are my main concern and I treat them as my own. Each pet is different and I do what is necessary for each one.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day consists of walks, play time with my dog and special care and cuddles one on one with me. Dogs will be treated as my own while they stay with me.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Kim can host up to 1 pet per night
Knowing as much as the owner wants to tell is best. Food quantity and how many times to feed a day. Whether or not they get treats or special toys at certain times. Any information that helps the dog feel comfortable and like they are at home is a help!
