Availability

I currently work Monday to Friday 830-430; however, on Wednesdays and Fridays I work from home and would love to have a little corporate helper. I'm available most weekends - if you're planning a weekend getaway I'm happy to care for your pet at my home, or even if you just need a few hours of care.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious apartment - ground floor, so its easy to step outside for a quick bathroom break. While I don't have a yard, there are some great areas to go for a walk nearby. Couches are very comfy with lots of blankets and pillows!

Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that I can account for. If you need boarding services, your vet's number would be handy, just in case! As well, please let me know about any medications/dosages or medical challenges.

A typical day

Depending on your pets needs, I can either be active and go for walks and play ball. Squeaky toys are my favourite! If you have a senior dog who simply needs cuddles and comfort, I'm happy to get cozy on the couch and binge watch Dog TV or listen to relaxing yoga music.

Reliable Pet Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

I've recently said goodbye to my beloved 19-year-old chiweenie. I'm not ready for a new pet just yet, but I’d love to share my time, attention, and affection with yours. I work from home two days a week and would love a furry corporate helper! I have NO restrictions regarding furniture. Pets are allowed to sit anywhere in my place and shedding is welcome here! (I have a fantastic vacuum that I'm obsessed with) I am also available for weekend care, house-sitting, drop-ins, walks and cat visits—including feeding, litter box cleaning, and quiet companionship. I’m especially comfortable with senior or anxious pets who need a gentle, calming presence. We live in a beautiful province and I often go for walks to enjoy the gorgeous views - I'd love to bring a pet along for some exercise and sightseeing! I'm happy to take care of your pet on short notice if you''re in a pinch to ensure your pet is with a trusted sitter. Just send me a quick message!

My dog Penny had an amazing stay with Kim! I received lots of updates to let me know how my dog was doing and Penny thrived in such a loving and warm environment. I will 1000% be booking Kim again for my next trip- it is so great to have such peace of mind while away!

Kim was amazing with my boys and was very reassuring... for me, leaving them for the first time overnight. The photos and little videos that she send squelch any concern I may have. Both dogs love her calm personality and all the attention that she gives them. I highly recommend Kim!

Kim is a kind person with a calm energy, and a true dog lover. She adapted her day to meet the needs of my girl, who was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Kim also happily did a meet & greet beforehand, which I appreciated. We look forward to booking with Kim again in the future!

Kim was so great with our little dogs! I don’t think they wanted to leave when I came to pick them up. Thanks Kim!! Hope to see you again 😊😊😊
