Retired animal lover!

HI! I'm a young retired pet lover who is looking to help out fur babies families! I am available for house sitting and pet hosting at my home. Being retired, I am not on a regular schedule so I am home most often, but just like everyone, I do have appointments, shopping etc outside the home. I try to not be gone more than 5 hours at a time. I have had many dogs and cats in my life but none right now. I have been helping family and friends my whole life with pet sitting. I have helped with Chihuahua’s to PitBulls! I try to keep your fur babies on the same routine they have with you. Since I'm retired, I can take them on several walks a day. I am patient and enjoy large dogs as well as small. I am the perfect choice if your fur baby does better without other pets or children around. Or may be shy or skittish. Bring a couple favorite toys!

She was absolutely wonderful with pudge would recommend her to anyone. Pudge had a great time got spoiled with pumpkin and helping with thanksgiving. The check in videos were great to show us our baby was in good hands and doing well while we were gone.

Kim was great! She gave our Tasha the extra love and care that she needed, as she has separation anxiety. Thanks Kim!

House Sitting • Aug. 08, 2024

Kim was amazing! She stayed in our home for almost two weeks taking care of our two fur babies. From the moment we met her we felt confident that she would be perfect for our family. She has a lovely, gentle but confident demeanor with a holistic approach. Our senior dog was not having regular chore time so Kim went out and bought pumpkin to add to his diet. Worked like a charm. We came home to two very relaxed and happy dogs. We also felt Kim took great care of our home and managed all with ease. We can’t wait to have her back again. She’s the best!

Kim was great with Morgan. She took care of her for nearly two weeks while we went on vacation. She came home looking happy and well taken care of! Highly recommend.

I can't say enough about how very happy we are with our dog's stay with Kim! We could not have asked for better care. From our first meeting I knew Kim was a caring, responsible person with an obvious love for animals. We appreciated and enjoyed the daily videos she sent. Because of Kim's care and affection, our dog Torrin seemed very happy and comfortable in her home from the start. I plan to use Kim again and again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

Your fur baby is allowed on my couch and bed. I have a great fenced yard for throwing balls! I have a covered back porch so most fur babies love to lay outside but are under cover

A typical day

We can play fetch in my fenced in yard. I live near the IRT and D&L so many options for long walks! I also make my own doggie treats! Would your fur baby like to try one?
