Caring, Trustworthy and Responsible

Pet care experience

I grew up with West Highland Terrior during my childhood. I have volunteered with the humane society for 8 years. I lived with dogs for the last 5 years as well. I have sat for both young and old pets. I am responsible, trustworthy, and caring. I do not have a corporate office job so can give a lot of attention to your animal. I am available 7 days a week 24 hours as I do not have other jobs that would take me away from concentrating on your pet! I will be mostly be at home with you pet to give them the love and company they deserve! I love walking pets in good weather so you can be sure to get long walks in the sunshine! I love being a dog sitter for my friends since I do not have a dog of my own at the moment and I just love those animals! I have been living with roommates who have dogs and pet sitting for friends and decided I wanted to take it to the next level and offer these services to other people as well. I think I would be an excellent pet sitter since I will be able to give a lot of my attention to your pet since this would be my primary focus. I love routine and can show you what a typical day would look like for your pet upon request. If they are able, they could accompany me for a sunrise run and potty break, and an afternoon walk in the park after lunch time. There would be a lot of mini breaks in between and cuddling and playing catch if the dog likes those kinds of things! If the pet is well behaved, there are also a lot of outdoor venues in Austin I could take the dog with me such as coffee shops. I hope to meet your dog and give them plenty of love when you are out of town!

As soon as Lilli (my pup) and I met Kim we knew she was going to be perfect! Lilli took to her right away. I was so impressed that Kim took the time to ask lots of questions about Lilli and suggested going for a walk during our meet and greet so she could learn more about Lilli and bond with her so I could be totally comfortable while I was away. Kim texted me photos when I was gone which meant a lot to me since I miss my baby when I'm away. She is super sweet and professional. Thank you Kim!!

I have 2 dogs. Kim has helped me multiple times by feeding and walking them while I was away. My blue heeler can be a challenge to manage sometimes, so I gave Kim advice on how to handle him. Kim handles him with ease and took my advice to heart. Now, they're best buds. I will continue to use Kim to dog sit, knowing the 2 are in good hands and the dogs are happy. Thanks, Kim!!

I had the pleasure of renting a room as Kim's roommate during 2 months. Kim is awesome. Highly responsible, organized and accountable person, as well as lots of fun. On numerous occasions she helped me take care of my beloved doggie, Tibor an 11 year old whippet, and she helped with dog sitting duties such as walks, feeding/water, and bathroom breaks. I never had a single problem with Kim, and Tibor loves her! So yes, she is a solid dog sitter.

Kim is a great friend of mine and has always gravitated towards our golden doodle Dahlia! Our dog is picky about people, but Dahlia immediately loved Kim! Kim has taken care of Dahlia for overnight stays and, as always, Kim is reliable and playful with our dog. She takes Dahlia for walks and entertains Dahlia with a bunch of ball-throwing. Of course, texted photos are always a plus and Kim sends us a bunch :o)

Information Kim G. would like to know about your pet

If the dogs are OK with other dogs and people. What makes the frigidity or afraid? Are there any attachments or rituals? For example, after a walk the dog is always rewarded a dog treat. Habits such as a corner that they always go potty in the yard. Historical backyard, for example if they are rescue dog and have some tendencies from their past. Where do they sleep? Do they have anxiety when left home alone? Diet. Any shots or medical things that are necessary?

A typical day

If the owner OK's it, I love to take dogs to the park and dog parks. Especially if the dog is well behaved, Austin is very conducive for pet owners and you can go to many outdoor venues with the dog. I like to enjoy the good weather and sit outside at coffee shops with the dogs! I am a running and can take the dog on a run with me too! Catch and tug of war also
