Tons of pet experience and love

Pet care experience

I have always been more of a pet sitting rather than baby sitting type of person. I myself have cats, tortoises, and hermit crabs. I began professionally 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 pets I realized that they are my passion. I currently work for Off Leash Milwaukee 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 walked numerous blind dogs and a few 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 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. Feel free to contact me regarding fees for numerous pets.

Kim is kind, reliable and responsive! This is the third time she has watched our cats and we would recommend her to others.

We trust Kim to take care of our two cats while we were gone on vacation and have utilized her in the past with the same great service! She is highly recommended to anyone looking for a great pet sitter. Also, she leaves very light-hearted summaries after each visit with great photos of our cats that we really appreciated and looked forward to each day!

Kim was AMAZING with my cat Millie. Millie is a very shy cat and usually stays away from new people, however, she immediately liked being around Kim. Millie and I cannot say enough good things about Kim!!!

Kim did an excellent job taking care of Josey! She sent pictures, gave her lots of pets and played red dot with her! We are so appreciative of her for taking care of Josey and giving us peace of mind. We will definitely hire her again and refer her to other people. Thank you once again!

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. If you need nails trimmed let me know. Some brushing done? Leave me a brush and I'll be happy to get to work.
