Family Member Doggie Lover!

Pet care experience

My name is Kim and when it comes to me loving dogs!!!! I am obsessed with dogs (in a good way) I'm an animal lover period, but dogs are everything to me. I can't fully explain in words, but if you ask anyone who knows me they know that I am dog crazy. I actually think one of the reasons I was put on the planet, was to help dogs. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart and in my soul, not sure why I feel such a great love and connection to them, I just do. I was a doggy mommy for 16 years! My dog Kimba was given to me as a gift when he was 3 months and he lived to be 16 years old. He was my first love and was a major part of my life. He taught me so much...how to love, how to be patient, how to take care of another being, how to enjoy life. My dog brought so much joy and happiness to my life, I can't even explain how much he helped shape who I am today. he passed away 3 years ago and it has been really hard. I truly cherish all the great memories within those 16 awesome years. I've been through it all with my dog...sick days, happy days, arthritis, allergies, dog bites, fleas, rashes, cysts, heart issues....lets not forget about walking him in the rain, sleet, snow, hurricanes, scorching heat and earth quakes lol...when your baby needs to be taken care of, you don't think twice. Being that I was a doggy mommy for 16 years, I have a vast knowledge on how to take care of dogs and what it takes to take care of dogs. I feel like I am in tune with dogs, I can tell when they are happy, sad, nervous etc. Dogs are just like children. they need to be fed, loved, go to the bathroom, go to the doctors, wear clothes, play etc. I am very reliable and if you have a certain route where you want your dog walked, or a certain way not a problem. When it comes to specialized food and toys, you can bring your baby's bed and toys over. I am also a great cook and use to cook for my dog all time. I can cook for your baby if need me. I'm very flexible, I want your dog to feel like they are at home, even if its a few hours stay. Comfort and happiness are most important to me when it comes to the dog and its owner.

Being a Pet Sitter gives me the opportunity to #1 be around dogs

Kim loves all animals; she is responsible and caring when it comes to animals. She will make a great dog caregiver because of her love and devotion to dogs and cats. She has owned and cared for both in the past.

Kim is one of the most caring and kindhearted people I know. Kim loves animals! ... and she especially loves and adores dogs!!! If it were up to Kim, she would build a zoo big enough so that all of the beautiful creatures in the world could have a sweet place to call their home. Kim takes her role of being a Pet Owner and/or a Pet Caregiver to a whole different level. Yes, pets are pets but to Kim, pets are family as well. On a number of occasions, I have witnessed Kim take care of dogs. If you didn't know any better you would think that she gave birth to each dog and that's because she's attentive and gentle with them. A dogsitter in need ... you can find in Kim indeed.
