WFH Pet Lover Ready to Assist!

Pet care experience

Thanks for checking out my profile! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and know a thing or two about how to care for and handle them. I spend a great deal of my time researching and learning about animals and pet nutrition. I have a great eye for detail and you can be reassured that I will give your pets the most attentive care possible when in my care.

Kim agreed to helped us even though we asked a little last minute and still made time to come and meet with our dog beforehand. Thank you Kim!

Kim took care of my 2 active Puggles for a week at our home and did an amazing job. They absolutely loved her. Highly recommend.

Kim was so wonderful with our dog, Bluebell. Bluebell has some health issues, so it's always tough leaving her, but Kim clearly has a lot of experience, asked great questions, and even made some recommendations for how we could help with our pups low appetite. When we left for our trip, Bluebell velcroed herself to Kim, so I think she was very happy with her new friend as well! We are very glad to have found Kim and look forward to working with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to providing care to animals, I love establishing a relationship with them and getting to know them so that I can give them the individual attention that they need. I am very well read on pet nutrition and animal behaviors and have 20 years of experience with both young and old pets. I ensure to reinforce healthy/positive habits at the request of the owner and can accommodate as needed.

Information Kim L. would like to know about your pet

Temperament and triggering stimuli are very important to know about a dog ahead of time, as well as ways that dogs may find comfort (i.e comfort items, treats, etc.) when learning how to accommodate certain needs they may have.

A typical day

I enjoy allowing dogs to be dogs and explore the world and their surroundings in a safe and supervised way. I love playing fetch and finding other stimulating activities to partake in with animals to help them get the activity that they need to be the healthiest versions of themselves.
