Grad student that loves animals!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and my partner and I currently have two young playful cats and an Australian Shepherd. I genuinely love animals and have a real passion for caring for them. I am currently in a Ph.D. program at NCSU, so I largely have weekend and evening availability. I have lots of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, and with three of my own I know what a special place they hold in the family and in your heart. I’m very responsible, highly organized, and extremely patient, and I will ensure that your pet is in safe caring hands while you are away. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Kim is wonderful and took care of my fur babies like her own 🫶🏼 She is great at what she does and kept me up to date the whole time I was away. I would totally recommend her to a friend!

Kim was great with our cat Kiki! She helped to put our minds at ease with the thorough Rover cards and the way she cared for our kitty. We would definitely reach out again when we are in need of cat sitting.

Kim spent lots of quality time with our two dogs and was prompt and thorough in her communications. So happy we found her and will book again!

Safety, trust & environment

My overall strategy with pet care and animals is to let the pet lead the interaction. I try to tailor my care to the needs of the pet, if you’ve got a bouncy energetic dog that would love to play fetch for hours, great! If you’ve got a couch potato cat that just wants to hangout, that’s great too! Either way I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and happy and healthy when you return.

Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or health conditions that I should keep a closer eye on. Or if there are any things your pet hates or loves, I’d like to know so I can give them the best time possible while you’re away.

A typical day

I have an Aussie myself, so I’ve learned a lot of great ways to stimulate your pup physically and mentally. We can go on walks, hike, play fetch, training games, or just hang out on the couch. Whatever meets the needs of your and your pup.
