A ruff life on the farm

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals my whole life. I am the owner of a horse farm with dogs ,cats & a rescued goat. I was a volunteer at volunteer services for animals for over 10 years. I have helped to place many animals in loving homes. I have excellent references from both large and small animal vets. I am experienced and comfortable medicating ,liquid & pill form and also doing subq & IM injections. My day starts early with my two dogs and helping with the horse farm. I am home all day ,everyday, which allows me plenty of time to play with all my animals.My farm is a popular place,so booking in advance is recommended.I am available for either Drop off or Pick up from either 8:45-10AM OR 4:45-6 PM to accommodate our furry friends.

Kim's Cozy Canine Retreat was the perfect choice for our boy, Rhody! Not only did Kim agree to have Rhody last minute, but she also cared him for an extra day when our flight was changed. We are so grateful for the excellent communication and photographs of Rhody wavelength the time of his life with all the other dogs on Kim's own huge dog park. Thank you so much!

Our 8 month old LOVED her stay and had lots of fun. Kim sent tons of pictures of Poppy playing in the woods and was an excellent communicator. Highly recommend Kim!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
