Pet care experience

Experienced loving critter sitter!

My animal experience goes way back to childhood. At the age of 7 I started in 4h, learning about animal husbandry. By the age of 13 I was volunteering at the local riding stables. By high school, I was working at the local animal shelter, volunteering with local rescues and advancing my education in dog training, with hopes of getting into service dogs. At age 19 I started working at a vet clinic This just advanced my love of animals and their care even more! Fast forward to today, and I own my own in home grooming salon ❤️ I have continued to volunteer with the local rescues and shelter every chance I get. 2 years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to become a puppy raiser for a veteran service dog foundation. That was the very best experience i could of asked for! My knowledge of dogs extends into training, grooming and care. I'm knowledgeable with cats and other small animals as well! Coming from a farm and vet background, I have experience with just about every animal including exotics. My personal dogs are all very well socialized with other animals of all kinds. They all have extensive training and are completely safe with others. They know just how to make our new guest feel right at home! All my boarder dogs are treated as family, allowed on beds and furniture and cage free unless otherwise requested. Bath or grooming add ons are always available! All baths/ grooms come complete with a cute Pic! Please feel free to reach out with any questions ❤️

Kim took the BEST care of my sweet elderly dog. I was concerned about leaving her anywhere because she needs a bunch of medication everyday and requires a special diet. Kim took SUCH good care of my girl that she looked even better when I picked her up than when I dropped her off! I will definitely be booking with Kim in the future. She was wonderful.

Kimberly was great! My boys loved her, so much so that they ran back to say bye to her after I picked them up. Will definitely use her again!

Kimberly was great! She treated our dog like her own. She updated us and took her at very short notice. We were nervous about leaving our dog but she made us comfortable and would do it all over again.

I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received. His hygiene and overall care were outstanding better than I’ve ever seen before. They kept me updated with messages and beautiful photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Their dedication and love for animals are truly remarkable. Highly recommended!

With last minute notice, Kimberly was able to assist and watch Holly for the week. I do not think I have had a better dog sitter for boarding in the almost 12 years I have had Holly. You can tell Holly was happy to be with Kimberly! Thank you so much for the love and care you provided for Holly and the communication, knowledge, and professionalism with us. You are amazing, Kimberly!

I work from home in my at home grooming salon, so your pet will never be alone. Should I need to leave the house for small errands, there is still someone left at home, or the animal will have a safe enclosed room to themselves.
