Loyal Dog and Cat Sitter

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs and cats my entire life and enjoy their company. I had two Labradors and four cats sharing my home, who have since gone over the Rainbow Bridge. My sister has a middle-aged rescue brindle, a two-year-old calico cat, and a Retriever puppy that I assist caring for which fills that furry gap. My diversity in caring for old and young dogs is extensive along with varieties of dogs from Labradors to Pittbull-mixes to Bassett Hounds. I love how pets fill our hearts with love and affection and I enjoy being with them, caring and playing with them.

Kim has helped care for our indoor cats on multiple occasions. She is reliable and so loving to our girls - she always took time to give them affection and made them feel less anxious about our absence. Kim will definitely take care of your pets physical needs, but for me and my family, her kindness and affection toward our cats is what puts her above any other pet sitter. I can highly recommend KIM!

Kim is the best...there is really no better way to say it. She is a passionate and caring advocate for people and pets alike, and I have been privileged over the last 30 plus years to see how she pours her heart and soul into caring for those around her. She has traveled the USA with her dogs and cats, and never fails to update us on their progress and the fun things they have done as a family. The dogs and cats were not just pets...they are family to Kim, and their lives were the best they could be under her watchful eye. Kim is one of the best people I've met, and having her with you and your pets means you have brought in family...she has my trust, my respect, and best wishes in everything she does. You'd be blessed with Kim in your family as well. She has my highest recommendation.

I am pleased and honored to write a letter of recommendation for Kim regarding both pet and house sitting. I would never hesitate to ask Kim to take care of my cats or watch our home. Her professionalism and love of four legged animals is without bound. She is reliable, trustworthy, affectionate and without a doubt a perfect match for this endeavor. Detail oriented, caring and loving, she hit it off with my cats immediately and I never had a worry. She took the time to learn their routines (indoor-outdoor cats) and habits, sent updates and photos, took care of the mail and trash, and when we came home it was if we had never left. Well cared for, loved, and everything in its place. Leaving your pets in someone else’s care is stressful enough and with Kim, I had none of that. I wish we still lived in the same state so she could continue the care and love I know she will give her future charges. I knew her dogs and saw the care and attention she gave them and just know this is a perfect fit for her. Whether it’s walking the pets, attending to feeding and companionship, administering medicines, and just loving them, one could not go wrong with Kim.

Kim has been taking care of our pets for over 10 years and there is no one we trust more with our fur babies. From our young puppies to our older cats and dogs that needed special care, Kim cares for them all with love and compassion. She loves animals and that love is evident in her interactions with them. It gives us great peace of mind when we are traveling or away from home to know that our pets are being cared for by her. We highly recommend Kim as a pet caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment

I have done house and pet sitting for many years bringing experience and attention to every home and pet I meet. One of my goals is to bring comfort when you are away knowing your home and pets are well cared for. My first priority is to be mindful of the location of each dog and cat while there. Safety is most important, being aware of closed doors and gates to avoid any mishaps and alert to anything on the floor or within reach that could be ingested. Every pet has their unique habits and I am careful to learn those from you and them and focus on their needs. I enjoy giving people that comfort knowing their fur babies and their home are in good hands.

Information Kim K. would like to know about your pet

Does the pet have any special needs such as difficulty going up and down stairs? Any allergies to treats or anything else. Good on a leach when walking? Do they like other dogs? Other cats? Do they like people? On any medications?

A typical day

Play fetch and tuggy indoors on the floor together or outside. Hide a toy for them to find which is good mental stimulation. Play chase around the yard for fun and exercise.
