Customized Care Delivered with Love
Pet care experience
My Cell does not get coverage at home. This reduces my response time, but I am worth the wait and I have 100% response rate. I've done it all when it comes to dogs & cats. I've trained them from puppies/kittens to senior care. I have experience in first aid as well. I'm experienced at giving shots to pets. I have been called an animal communicator by family & friends. I intuitively know what they feel and need.
Reviews
Kimberly was a great dog and house sitter! She dealt with my three little chihuahua mixes who all have different personalities and kept me updated on a regular basis. She also took great care of the house and changed sheets on the bed so it was ready to go when we got home. (I think the house was also cleaner than when we left it!) I will definitely recommend her to others and use her again!
Kimberly was great with the dogs and the house. I highly recommend her.
So pleased with Kimberly’s hospitality. She left us feeling very confident that our young standard poodle would be well cared for. We received photos throughout the day. We were visiting from out of town and had peace of mind to explore Santa Fe without the dog Thank You Kimberly!
We felt very comfortable with Kimberly. She was calm and I believe thet kept our skeeter calm. This was our first time to use Rover and we were very satisfied. Thank you Kimberly.

I live on 3 unfenced acres so there is plenty of room to play. I will walk your pet leashed, so they don't run off, unless you specify otherwise. Pets get a minimum of two walks per day, usually more, additional play/cuddle time, and consistent check-ins throughout the day and evening. They are welcome to sleep in my room and if not too large, there's always room on the bed. Treats are used to build relationship and reinforce positive behavior. I use only all natural, healthy treats. I don't use crates. If this is preferred, please provide the crate. Let's talk about your companions customized care!

Information Kimberly C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviors or dietary restrictions that I can account for. Dogs with a history of biting people are not a good fit unless it has been over a year since they displayed this behavior. We can discuss these issues.
A typical day
I'm an outdoor person. We will take walks in my neighborhood down to Tesuque Creek. We will explore the three acres I live on and play doggie games. All natural, healthy treats are used. I often make my own treats.

It’s important to me to give the kind of care that I looked for when I had to leave my furry companion. That means customizing care that meets the needs of your pet and you. A puppy needs a lot more attention than an older cat. To me, drop-ins are more for cats who prefer a higher degree of alone time than a dog that is anxious and/or grieving their human family. I am happy to check on your pets when needed but please don't ask me to only spend an hour a day with your dog when you are away for several days. Your pets always prefer to be with you. I’ve never cared for a dog, no matter how content and happy they were with me, that didn’t jump for joy at their family’s return and walk away without a backwards glance. This goes for cats too. So, let’s make sure that when you can’t be there that they are as comfortable, content, and as happy as possible. Because they will still be sad and grieving you while you are gone. I currently work part time from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! We can customize the schedule to meet your needs. I do not book more than one client at a time. I only take one pet at a time for boarding, unless they are a family. Your pet deserves my attention not my scattered attention in a pack of dogs that they are not familiar with. After all, isn’t the goal to minimize their anxiety and grief due to being left without their family? For me, it’s not just about making sure they are feed and walked, it’s about caring for all their needs every minute you are away. This is what makes a successful staycation for your pets and allows you to come home to a joyful pet without the trauma of being left.
