Dog (& Cats) our 4-Legged Family
Pet care experience
I'm an animal lover! Since the day I was born I've always had at least 2 cats and a dog. Currently I have 4 cats (three are 12 years and one is 8 years) and a 7 yr old old golden retriever and 6 yr old border collie that make up the best parts of my days. When I am not teaching 4th graders, I have experience with working with up to three dogs at one time and many many cats. I am comfortable administering meds if needed and I have worked with special needs pets, or any special care your pet may need. I enjoy caring for my clients animals as if they were my own! My animals make up a huge part of my family and I know their importance in our lives and I promise to give them the upmost care and respect that they need!
Reviews
This is my second time booking Kim, and I definitely will book her again in the future! For context, my cat is extremely cautious and only spends time with people she trusts. Kim immediately established that trust and was able to really take care of her. Kim goes above and beyond and is very communicative. I never felt worried once. 110% would recommend!
Kim always takes great care of our kitties! She recently cared for them for two weeks and ensured they had everything they needed.
Amazing sitter! Very flexible and understanding
We really appreciated Kim’s last minute availability and flexibility during the holidays!

Again, pet care is something I do daily at home. When visit a pet at a clients home I try to make sure to do a meet and greet to ensure it’s a good fit and the client is comfortable with me. I take note of my clients wishes and when I visit, I feed, play with, give lots of cuddles, and clean up after the pets that are entrusted in my care. I send daily pictures and updates so you are comfortable while away and can still feel connected to your furry friend!
Information Kim R. would like to know about your pet
No specific breed preferences. I would like to perhaps meet your dog before I do an overnight just to put your mind at ease in knowing how your dog interacts with me and I with him/her. I have experience administering oral medication and have volunteered at Canines and Felines with their special needs animals as well so I am comfortable with just about any pet.
A typical day
I love play time with dogs, belly rubs, and park time. I will walk your dog wherever you'd like them to be walked and be attentive to them the whole time. I have high energy to play with energetic animals and can also be calm and very gentle if it takes your dog or cat a while to warm up.

Pet care is something I do daily at home. I am a 4th grade teacher and love taking care of cats mainly on the side.
