Provide care for all species

Pet care experience

I have experience working with all different species of animals having worked in zoos and aquariums. Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, rodents, reptiles and raptors... You name it, I've cared for it. Having 3+ years experience as a receptionist and veterinary assistant at a busy veterinary hospital and having been a pre-vet major for part of college I am able to administer medications, notice abnormal behaviors, and provide basic first aid. Since I live in an apartment I can't have a dog, so instead I have an adorable quill baby (aka hedgehog) Rose. My job is Monday - Friday 7-3 so I'm available for afternoon/evening walks and pop-in visits, as well as overnight pet sitting. Can potentially do a mid-day pop-in if located close to Stony Brook. With 6+ years of pet sitting experience, it helps me get my much needed dog fix!

Hate to post another glowing review because that means it will be even more difficult to book her next time but when someone is as great as Kim is, you have to give credit where credit is due. This was a repeat booking for us. Kim responded immediately and remained in touch throughout the time leading up to, and then throughout, our trip, including sending pictures. She was able to cope with the both the anxious high-strung nature of one of our dogs and the dietary sensitivity of the other dog without any hesitation. We enjoyed our trip knowing our pets were being well cared for and returned to happy dogs and a spotless house. We hit the jackpot when we found Kim. Thank you so much!

We were so happy we chose Kim to house sit for our dogs! She was very professional and always responded very promptly to our messages. From meeting her before the stay we could tell she was very knowledgeable about dogs and got along great with our dogs (a 65 lb mutt and a 100 lb rhodesian ridgeback). She sent us pictures of the dogs throughout the stay and it looked like they were having a great time!

Kim was wonderful. The sitter we had set up had a family emergency the day before our trip. We ha never met or used Kim before. She was able to accommodate our last minute booking and made us feel comfortable and confident in leaving her in charge of our dogs and home. We returned to a spotless home and happy dogs. She kept us up to date with status reports on how our babies were doing. I can’t giver her a higher rating than 5 stars since that is all they have but I would give her a 10 if I could.

Kim took such good care of our two pups (and our home) while we were away on vacation last week. I was very worried and had a lot of anxiety at first about leaving them but Kim kept in contact and sent pictures throughout our trip and would respond right away to any texts I sent. We will definitely be using Kim again when we go away because we know our pups are safe and well taken care of with her!
