Hi there! My name is Kimberly. I’ve spent over a decade house and pet-sitting for several established (and new!) clients, from New York City to rural Pennsylvania. Over that time, I’ve worked with dogs and cats young and old, social and skittish. I prioritize establishing trust with any animal I encounter first and foremost. While living in Brooklyn, I worked with a particularly anxious dog who had missed out on opportunities to socialize as a puppy due to COVID, and I helped her to acclimate to city life and build trust with other people and dogs, all the while nurturing our relationship to ensure her sense of safety. I also volunteered nearly every day walking dogs at my local shelter. Usually, I hadn’t met the dog beforehand and had to gain his or her trust and size up his or her personality in a matter of minutes, but those are some of the greatest connections I've made. Over the last couple years I’ve worked with therapy dogs as a lead teacher for a multiple disabilities support classroom, fostering relationships between my students and our visiting dog friends. These days, I’m in the process of joining the Bucks County SPCA as a volunteer, and looking to establish relationships with new animals, families, and clients. I hope you’ll be one of them!
