Pet care experience

Heart-Centered Integral Animal Care

Hi, I’m Kim - mental health counselor, Ayurvedic practitioner, and holistic counselor taking a soul-nourishing break from my work to spend more time doing something I truly love: caring for animals. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for my whole life, and I bring the same presence, responsibility, and compassion to animals that I bring to the people I support in my practice. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, grounded energy and my ability to tune into an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I care for every dog as if they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, nurtured, and genuinely loved. I’m responsible, kind, empathetic, and always on time. I love to play, explore, and create joyful moments for the pets I care for. I also share my home with Butter, my 5-year-old golden retriever. She’s gentle, affectionate, and the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. If your dog is friendly and comfortable with other pups, Butter would love to make a new friend, always in a safe, thoughtful, and intentional environment. I’m here to make your life easier and your pet’s day brighter. I’d love to support you and your furry family member in a way that feels trustworthy, warm, and wholehearted.

Due to circumstances outside of our control our plans changed at the last minute. Kimberly worked with us to help modify our booking, which was a huge relief with everything we had going on. Jedi had a grand time with Butter, and we will certainly be using Kimberly again when we travel.

Kimberly kept me in the loop with some things my pup was dealing with during his stay and ensured he was well taken care of.

Kim was fantastic! She arrived early, was well-prepared for the negative degree day (totally unexpected!), and got along so well with my pup. Professional, kind and just a lovely person - 10/10 would recommend and rehire again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very present, nurturing, responsible, and compassionate when caring for animals. I make sure they are fed and walked in a timely manner. I like to create a consistent schedule to create a predicable routine the animal is comforted by. We go for walks in nature, and have play time. I love setting up play dates with other dogs if personalities allow for safe contact.

Pets

A typical day

Nature adventures, play dates with other friendly dogs, go for a run, play in a river, fetch, tug-a-war, hike. I am always open to new ideas.

Is your dog good with other dogs? Has your dog ever shown aggression or bitten? Is your animal good with children? Do they listen to basic commands like sit, stay, come..? Will there be any people at your place upon arrival? Do you have any escape artists for animals I should watch out for? Will your fur friend come to the door when I arrive? Please make sure all necessities like collar and leash are easy to find. Preferably waiting for me outside the door.
