Kim can care for
Availability
I currently work for a local humane society on the medical team. I am constantly learning not only medical techniques but also an ever growing database of personality traits, body language and endless possibilities. Due to very long hours at this job I am not able to provide mid day breaks Thurs-Saturdays.

About Kim S.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all pets and property as my own. I understand what it's like needing a pet sitter as I have also needed them. I strive to be everything you (or I) would hope for.
Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet
Any background you want to give me would be wonderful- don't feel like you'll overload me on information. If you want to keep it basic that's fine too. It is especially handy to know if your dog is reactive to anything- even if it only happened once. Any known allergies are also great to know, I like to keep treats with me.
A typical day
I love the challenge of finding animals toys and beds that they really love. Sometimes it just takes that one weird, hard to find item that helps them come out of their shell a bit more and it's a great thing to see. I love teaching pets how to use treats puzzles and seeing them learn right before my eyes. I also love providing decompression walks for dogs. If you need nails trimmed let me know. Some brushing done? Leave me a brush and I'll be happy to get to work.

Pet care experience
After working at a horse stable through high school and college I began professionally working with cats and dogs (and bunnies and birds) at a boarding/grooming business in Glendale and did every role possible there- kennel cleaning, scheduling, customer service, grooming, supervising daycare, exercise for long term boarders. It was great but I wanted to be somewhere where I could have more one on one time with the pets. After a year there I found a small business in Bay View where I got tons of group and one on one time with animals. Much of my time was dedicated to going to clients' homes to pet sit and walk their dogs. At this business I became assistant manager and loved what I did. After a year and a half I had learned so much but finally had a chance to get a job with my degree of Geophysics. After a few years of working full time without visiting pets I realized that they are my passion. I currently work for a local humane society and am always up for Rover gigs and meeting more animals when I am able. I am experienced in administering insulin in cats and dogs large and small. I've used numerous techniques for oral medications so that I find what works best for your pet. I've walked blind dogs and also some that were deaf or both. I'm trained in the ways of cat hiding and will track them down if they are shy to assure you they are ok. I also have experience walking dog aggressive, leash reactive, and special needs dogs. Rest assured I'll care for your pet as my own and come with tons of experience to make both of you happy. Pet first aid certified through WVRC. Fear Free certified. Fetchfind certified. Feel free to contact me regarding fees for numerous pets.

Reviews


Kim is incredible! We feel so comforted when Kim is staying at our home with our two dogs when we are on vacation. She is an excellent communicator and we get the cutest pictures and updates and know they are in the best hands. We are so grateful.

We book Kim every year and she has done a great job every time taking care of our special needs cat. I highly recommend her!


Kim was incredible! Throughout our trip we had excellent communication - she provided us with frequent and adorable updates and pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our boys were being cared for so well. We came home to very relaxed and happy dogs. ♥️ And Kim really cared for our house as well. We wholeheartedly recommend Kim, and appreciate her so much.


Kim has been the perfect pet sitter for us the past couple years and that’s why we continue to use her while we are gone. She is responsive, thorough, trustworthy, and truly cares about our two cats!
