Pet care experience

Never lived a day without a pet

Life-long pet mom. My pets included big and little dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, bearded dragons, anoles, and fish. I currently volunteer at Urban Stables caring for horses and donkeys. I work from home and my north shore house has a fenced in yard and is next to the oak leaf trail. I love animals and will treat your pet(s) very well.

Kim is awesome. We ran into some car troubles affecting our pick up window and she was extremely flexible and accommodating to us given our stressful circumstance. She’s also great with our dog and provides consistent updates. Highly recommend!

Anytime we drop him off he is so excited to go on his doggy vacation that I don’t even feel guilty! Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.

Kim was amazing with Millie! Millie stayed with her for three nights, and Kim kept in touch and sent us pictures every day. It looked like Millie had a wonderful time and was very happy and comfortable with her. We had such a great experience and would definitely have Millie stay with Kim again!

Schedule

I work from home so I have flexibility to play, walk, and pamper your pet. My neighborhood is dog walk friendly with sidewalks and the oak leaf trail. I don’t take scheduled reoccurring jobs - I prefer the flexibility of accepting as needed pet care.
