I am a full time corporate pilot with random and flexible weekday and weekend availability. Summer and winter time I average about 20 days off a month and in the spring in fall I average about 15 days off a month. I usually know my schedule roughly 2 weeks in advance so I have plenty of time to give love to your furry friend.

Safety, trust & environment

I always research the area before I get there so I know the quickest and safest route to any park, grassy area, and dog friendly trail. I pride myself on constant situational awareness and will listen carefully to the cues of your dog to do what’s best for them.

Information Kim K. would like to know about your pet

I would appreciate knowing your dogs energy level, any specific quirks they may have, how they act around other people, kid, and dogs/animals, and if they have allergies or specific diets.

A typical day

Spending time with your dog is a treat for me as much it is for them! I enjoy walks at whichever speed fits your dog, spending time in a park/ the grass, and even the beach (if requested). I have a couple of dog puzzles that are a great way to mentally stimulate their mind while being rewarded with their favorite yummy treats.

I am a golden retriever at heart!

Pet care experience

I believe every dog deserves love! I am patient, nurturing, and loving but stern when safety has the potential to be compromised. I’ve been a dog lover since childhood and have had dogs of all breeds my entire life. I will promise to put your furry child and best friend first always. My energetic spirit allows me to keep up with the most playful pups but I always allow time for a good cuddle and belly rub. My dog puzzles keep all dogs entertained and subconsciously learning new tricks (yes, even the old dogs can learn something new!)

Kim did a fantastic job handling and walking my very active yellow Labrador. She was very friendly, communicative, prompt and she followed some of the direction we had left her. Really appreciated her last minute help in caring for our dog! Highly recommend

Kim was such a great person to drop in and check on our puppy, Marnie! I highly recommend and we will be booking her again! She took the time to ask questions and get to know our puppy beforehand and was evidently knowledgable in caring for pets.
