Availability

As a retiree, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. My days are typically spent staying active, running errands, enjoying hobbies, and spending time outdoors, which makes it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship into my routine. Because I am not tied to a traditional work schedule, I can accommodate a variety of walking times and provide reliable, consistent care throughout the day. I enjoy being around animals and have the availability to ensure pets receive the exercise, attention, and affection they need while their owners are at work or away from home.

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been an important part of my life. In addition to owning dogs, I have cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors over the years. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to provide the love, attention, exercise, and comfort they deserve while their families are away. My goal is to help pets feel happy, secure, and cared for, while giving their owners confidence and peace of mind.

I highly recommend Kim as a pet sitter. She is reliable, responsible, and very caring. Kim is great at following instructions, communicating clearly, and providing updates. Her kindness and dedication makes her someone I would trust with my own pets without hesitation. Any pet would be lucky to be in their care, and I am confident they will provide excellent service to every family they work with.

You cannot do better. She is smart and caring and has a loving heart for all furry pets. I would call her right now if our dog needed someone while I'm away.

I highly recommend Kim as a dog walker. She is reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. Kim is attentive to each dog's needs, ensures they get plenty of exercise and attention, and always treats them like her own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their dogs are in safe, capable hands with Kim.
