Caring for animals brings me Joy

Pet care experience

My love for animals began at a very early age. I grew up with a Poodle, Doberman, Boxer, Rottweiler, a couple cats, turtles and fish. I helped my grandfather care for his aviary with over 300 birds from canaries to chickens. I started riding horses at the age of 6 and learned about horse care. When I was 13 I fostered my first new born kitten. Over the years my husband and I have had 3 dogs and a cat together. I enjoy helping my friends and neighbors with their pets (young to senior) whenever they need. I feel I have a special calm nature that makes it easy for me to connect with animals. I also LOVE going on walks. I'm currently a stay at home mom of 2 (ages 6&8) and have lots of time to take care of your pets. I live right next to a dog friendly park and love to go on walks. My availability is very open for all services. My home is smoke-free. I have a fenced yard and a pool (to cool off durning those hot summer days). I live right next to a dog friendly park. I love playing with both cats and dogs making sure they get the stimulation they need. When at a clients home I am respectful of their property and make sure to follow all instructions to a tee. If I have any questions or concerns I contact the client right away to address them.

Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to be informed of any special needs or behaviors to look out for. I would also like to meet your pet(s) before hand so I can get to know their different personalities giving me a better understanding of each ones play styles, like and dislikes first hand.

A typical day

Dog walks are a favorite of mine, letting them sniff around the neighborhood and park. I also love to engage pets with games of catch, tug-o-war and hide & seek with toys or treats. Of course, there will be LOTS of belly rubs. Dogs that have approval from their owners for swimming can go for a dip in our pool.
