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.

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 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.
