Pet care experience

Loyal Dog and Cat Sitter

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.

Pets

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.

Kim took care of Molly and responded quickly when we had questions or concerns. The communication and follow up was very good. Molly is pretty active and sometimes a bit much, and we feel that Kim handled her well.

Kim is such a gentle and wonderful person. She has been communicative and thorough from the start, something I have really appreciated about her. My pups took to her immediately and I came home after a long weekend away to a clean home and happy dogs. Looking forward to working with her more in the future.

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.
