Pet care experience
Stress-free sitting!
When I travel, the thing I am most anxious about is: will my cats be OK while I'm gone? Nothing gives someone more peace of mind about their leaving their babies than trusting the person in charge to make certain they are well-loved and taken care of in their absence. I know this feeling well and would love to give you the comfort of knowing your pets are in great and loving hands while you're away. Will your friends be getting their correct feedings, water changes, box cleanings, walks? Absolutely yes! I grew up with both cats and dogs my entire life. While my current housing situation doesn't allow me to have dogs, I do serve as staff to my three cats: Mia, Shelby, and Thomas (Thomas is in my profile photo). I have taken care of my friends' pets, both dropping in and living in their homes, while they were away and enjoy interacting with their cats, dogs, and even sheep, goats, and chickens! I have lived with kittens, senior cats and dogs, and can administer many medications if need be; I am also willing to learn any special requests. Additionally, I'm an amateur photographer, and would love to update you with photos and videos while you're away. ** I do work full time, but as I start early in the morning, I have a great deal of the afternoon and evenings free. I am also able to do necessary care before going in to work, although it may be very early! ** I live in Bremerton but work in Kingston. I wasn't able to put this info in anywhere else, but depending on the location I may also be able to drop in during the day if your dog or cat needs to go out halfway through the day. I am unable to care for pets in my own home at the moment (but hoping at some point that will change). In your home, I will see to it that your pet's water is fresh and plentiful, food is available (or administered at the proper time), and that things like litter boxes or poop scooping is taken care of daily. Once the basics are squared away, I will spend time with your pet, playing, petting, walking, or interacting in a way they are accustomed to. I am proud that friends have trusted me the care of their pets and access to their homes and I honor that. Trust is something I take very seriously because without it, you can't have anything else! My photos are mostly selfies since I live by myself (sorry!).

As always, Kim made everything wonderful for my cats while I was away for a quick weekend trip. One cat is 18 years old and blind, but she trusts Kim as much as she trusts me. I had no worries leaving them in her capable, caring hands.
Kim is my #1 and only caretaker for my cats. I’ve been so damn fortunate to have her in our lives for over 5 years. She has been there through many of my life changes and the gradual aging of my eldest cat who is almost 18 and now blind. Both cats were feral in their kitten years and I’ve done my very best to nurture them to being comfortable with me, and now they are comfortable with Kim. Kim is very loving, kind, and smart. She is the greatest. I love you, Kim!
Kim is the best. She has been Stella's and Nika's outstanding, and ONLY, caretaker whenever I travel for nearly four years, and she is the ONLY one I want for my babies. And I can speak with authority that Stella and Nika only want Kim too! They've been skittish of strangers since I've been lucky enough to be their mom since each were 5 months old (Stella since 2008 and Nika since 2016). Kim has earned their trust and love. I absolutely want you and your family to bring Kim into your lives and take care of your babies too!
Kim as usual treated my 2 cats with love and great care. She has been my pet sitter for 3 or 4 years now, and frankly I don't want to have anyone except her take care of them. Kim is 1,000% trustworthy, reliable, responsible, and responsive. It's so clear how much she loves and enjoys animals. I'm very grateful to have Kim in my and my cats' lives!!
Kim has been nothing short of wonderful! Absolutely will book again!
Very good communication and took great care of my cats! Got several pictures while she was there, which made me so much happier knowing they were happy.

- Of course, anything health-related is of utmost importance. I want to make certain your pet receives his or her medication or other needs on the schedule s/he is accustomed to. Are there any special things I should know about - e.g., are they easily frightened, what do they love, what is their routine every day? Continuity makes it less stressful for them - and you.
