Passionate & Aspiring Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is KC and I am 26 years old. I work 40 hours a week at home and take two 15 minute breaks and a 45 minute lunch Monday through Friday. I currently am close to the Coronado park and live with my Fiance Ben and our 1 year old Doberman Pinscher Gin. Growing up I had two dogs a beagle and a corgi. When I was younger I was inexperienced and didn't provide any structure for my dogs. However, I have always loved dogs and cats growing up. I try my best to be a responsible dog owner especially raising a high-energy working dog breed. We do not go to dog parks because I feel that if I cannot control an outcome or an experience for my dog there's room to put her at risk. While it may work for other people I am more particular about the socialization for my own dog. We walk around 3-5 miles a day depending on how hot it is outside. My dog is trained to be off-leash and we will play fetch as well when the park is not too busy. Some other activities that we enjoy on the weekend: hiking, taking Gin to an outdoor restaurant patio, biking and skateboarding. When it is too hot outside or if we are for some reason unable to meet Gin's physical enrichment goals for the day we incorporate mental enrichment i.e. frozen kongs, lick mats, destroying cardboard boxes. I'm familiar with training tools in the balanced dog community and even use them on Gin but I also heavily rely on positive reinforcement. I also enjoy keeping the environment neutral and not allow dogs to be over stimulated. If you think we'd be a good fit I'd love to hear from you!

She did a wonderful job and was upfront with any issues that came across. Extremely positive experience!

Kimberly was great! I received several photos to know Joey was okay and having a good time. Kimberly kept her very active and Joey was the perfect amount of tired when I picked her up! I will definitely use again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a home that is two units at the moment with a fenced-in yard beginning 10/15, the storm took out our backyard fence. However, I do not believe having a fenced-in yard makes for a good dog owner or sitter as we make sure our dogs mental and physical needs are met

Information Kimberly C. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about a dog's reactivity (so I can prepare and be alert of thresholds and triggers), whether or not they're crate trained, up to date on vaccines and other habits that the owner feels are pertinent.

A typical day

In the morning we go on a 1-2 mile walk and along with the evening as well. If time and weather permits we would also take Gin out during lunch time as well. We enjoy walking in downtown Phoenix or in the neighborhood.
