Experienced and Compassionate

Pet care experience

Hello, My name is Kim and I am a dedicated, compassionate and detailed oriented professional pet sitter. Since I was a teen I have found ways to care for animals through employment as a vet assistant, to volunteer work at a horse rescue and local animal shelter, my own pet ownership and now my own pet sitting business. When I spend time with your pet I pay close attention to their physical and mental behavior, I adjust our visits to best suit your pet and what they may need and I will alert you to any abnormal behavior. I am experienced in medication administration and wound care. I believe in positive reinforcement and training. Daily walks are typically completed between 11am-2pm. If the weather keeps us from enjoying our time outside I will spend time inside with them, so leave a brush if you have one! For my home visits and overnight care I will also water plants, bring in trash bins, bring in packages left at the door. If there is a need that I have not mentioned please don't be afraid to ask! If your dog stays at my home for overnight or day care they are treated like part of the family. They are allowed on the furniture as well as the bed. I want your dog to feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I will always feed the guest dog separately from other dogs in the house. I pay close attention to what makes them feel safe and what their preferences are and I will adjust to accommodate the guest dogs' needs. I will provide photos and videos of your pet while they are in my care. I am flexible with drop off and pick times. My goal is to provide you peace of mind while you are away and a loving, safe experience for your pet.

Kim handled my separation anxiety like a champ- I just needed a few reassurances that my pooch was doing well the first time I left her in Kim’s care. Kim spoiled me with some pictures and texts so I could relax and enjoy my time away, confident my fur baby was well cared for! After having Kim watch our dog one time, I knew she was great by my dog’s reaction to her! She jumped and wiggled all over when Kim entered the house! She has an instant connection with pets and people alike, is very kind and professional! I will use her whenever my pet cannot come with me!

Safety, trust & environment

When I have a guest dog in my home they are treated like family. They are invited to relax and cuddle on the furniture, they are able to sleep where they are comfortable, and they are taken out, walked, played with and cuddled regularly. During feeding times, I feed pets separately so they have space and a stress free meal time. If you have a picky eater I will do what it takes to get your furry friend to eat, even if it means I hand feed them every morsel. When I care for your pet in your home, I will ensure that their routine is followed and that they are exercised, happy and stress free. I will also water plants, take out trash and bring in the mail.

Information Kim R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies, injuries or sensitivities. I want to keep them healthy and safe while you are away.

A typical day

While caring for your cat I will engage in play time with their favorite toys or treats, or just sit quietly together. I will follow your cats lead and spend the quality with them that interests them most. Your dogs will get as much or as little excitement as they wish. They can enjoy long or short walks, playing with toys, balls, frisbee. Or they can relax and go at their own pace. I will follow whatever schedule you leave for me. My goal is to make your pets feel as safe, secure, and confident as possible while you are away.
